Thread: Scatter Shot 1 & 2
Ok, Im 3 4 3 4 Carbineer.
I got scatter shot 1 and It does 1 damage! I figured no biggie. Lets see what happens when i get scatter shot 2.
I got scatter shot 2....Guess how much damage that did?
ONE friggin damage point.
What is going on here? And does Chargeshot2 not even kd a single target?
Looks like BurstShot 1 and Chargeshot1 are the best specials and they are the first ones I got!
Does Burstshot 2 do anything or will I be disappointed when I get it?
Scatter shot 1 and 2 do tons of damage.. but since they hit multiple pools the damage cannot be reported properly in the spam window.. you have to go by the floaty numbers above your target's head.
I don't know why people pay much attention to the spam window.. as any kind of armor piercing bonuses or resistances don't show up in those numbers anyway.
I guess that's why I see pistoleers using AP: none pistols against krayt dragons.. they have no idea those single digit damage numbers popping up over the krayt are actually their shots <g>.
Ya the chat does not report the damage properly. scattershot1 is single target while scattershot2 is a little stronger and fires in a cone.
I actually use burstshot2 and crippleshot quite a bit.
If I feel like hitting the action bar, lead with actionshot2 and follow with legshot2 spam (legshot3 if you dont mind the ham cost).

Master Dragger, Drunken FriarScatter shot doesn't fire in a cone, it's just alot more damage than scatter 1, and I think scatter shot is one of the best specials carbineer, especially in group since, xp is counted by amount of damage you deal, and you can easily deal out 2-4k damage with scatter 2.

Your right, don't know why I thought that one coned. oh well I use scattershot2 in pvp alot. nice to finnish them offafter being poisoned.
it doesn't do all equal damages to all the ham pool, I think it's randomly distribute 2-4k damage to the ham pool, because most of time I would deal alot more damage to health than mind or action, sometimes I have all my damage goes straight into health and nothing in other pool, and watch the critter's health bar just drop by 1/4.
Wow. Thanks for setting me straight. I admit I was combat window watching. It totally pissed me off too. 
Anyways, I need to get back in game and add scattershots back to my window.
Thanks again.
it's funny in pvp too, they get the message, that they were hit by 1 damage and then watch their ham just drop.
It's odd that the combat channel doesn't show the damage correctly. It does show it correctly for /fastblast, the useless MBH special that does slight damage to all pools.
