Alot of people are calling the move an exploit when the description of the move states that it takes advantage of gaps in opponent's armor. I guess my question is, has any official of sony stated the move is broken or are alot of people just whining.
Good question. Not being a PVP player, I'd like an answer to this question myself. I'd hate for PVP'rs to get my profession badly nerfed for no reason like has happened to all the others.

it says in the description that it takes advantage of armor gaps? I must have never read the description of the move. I always thought the Scatter hit moves were bugged but that description makes it seem like it is supposed to work like that. Maybe its working too good or something.
.... too bad i don't spam
The point is there is no balance when only one profession can cut through your armor and do more damage than the others.
For that why dont everyone just become Fencer (not like thats not already happeneing)since everyone who pvps wears armor. That way it will be balanced lol.

I Dont agree there are way more rifleman/combatmed's then fencer's.. AnywayI belive scatterhit2 is working as intended. It's just ackaly bones made the stun baton alot better.( ie like krayte tisssue's for the ion). So hence you do more damage.

Not on my server there isnt. On my server Fencer is the FOTM. How do you know scatter is working as intended? Youre not a dev. Noone said anything about the acklay bones. Its the fact that scatter negates armor and mitigation sometimes. Its easy for you to claim that it is working as intended and that its fair when you are part of that profession and are just defending it.
Just like everyone defends their own professions.

Fencer
Many a months now fencers have been asking to literally swap the dmg of the gaffi stick to one of our swords, just so a fencers 'best' weapon would be a sword. Is there anyway we can implement this as it has been a top 10 issue for fencers for oh so long?
This is one of the details that should be easily tweak-able and happen in the Combat Balance. This certainly is a short answer and Fencers may be looking for more, but for the most part, devs and many players feel that Fencer is a really cool profession and as such, won’t see any dramatic changes.

Not trying to start a war here, just sayin'. Lots of odd things in this game. Tons of them. Of which "0 damage has been mitigated by defensive buffs" is just one of them.

I dont know what your talking about. I was dueling for about an hour in coronet and got owned by people wearing stun armor. My ackaly is 129-179. I have yet to see this bug everyone talk's about with scatter hit. Either that or bria has the best composite it's currently at 44% stun 90% base.
