Thread: What does supression fire do?
It is an area cone snare, and it also has a very short cool down timer.
The situations I find it most effective:
Solo AOEing high end mobs- alternate it with full auto area for slow but effective killing.
Quick root- Sometimes figthing krayts and lvl 111s charge shot will fail and you need to put a little distance in between you and your target so spam this like 4 times in a row.
Emergency getaways- If I attract some unwanted attention, like a group of agro from a lair, I just run away spamming this until I get enough distance to get away.
I don't hunt jedi but I would imagine that you could use this if you get a runner. This stacks with cripple, so hit your cripple shot then spam this as much as you can, they won't go anywhere.
*one note though,sometimes, I don't know why, but it will appear to have no effect whatsoever. The effect is fairly small unless you spam it continuosly, but even still everynow and then it appears to be doing nothing.
If you try it out a couple times I think you'll find it to be useful. Just be careful because you may end up getting more agro on you than you intend since it is an aoe after all.
