I heard this is a ranged knockdown? Is this true because I am going up the smuggler tree to get low blow cause I didnt think pistoleers got a knockdown. If it is a knockdown I wish sony would make the description a little more accurate

Yes it is an extremely fast high damage knockdown.

Hi i'm ignorant what does it do is it any good whats typical dmg compared to fan and stopping shot?

Thanks

Do not use this special. It does nothing worthwhile...300-800 damage and a hell of a lot of HAM use. It's another of our broken specials

It's an AOE cone nothing shot. It doesn't do bonus damage to a target, if I recall correctly, and it has a very high, well for pistol, HAM cost.

Basically there's little use for it, I'd recommend not even putting on your hotbar. Much like many of our other specials.

Does it take down the enimies gun's condition like disarming 1 does ? if so it could be fun

Disarm DOES NOT DISARM ANYTHING, it is a lair killer and that is all.

Disarm1 does double damage vs lairs, Disarm2 does double damage vs lairs with an increased ham cost.

Don't waste the space on this one, as Philo said is is yet another in the "pistoleer's parade" of busted specials.

DisarmingShot1 doesn't even do that. Neither shot is very useful. What everyone in the thread said about DisarmingShot2 is right -- it's broken and never worth using.

i remember when it was ranged aoe knockdwn... and then people cried nerf because it tore through hordes of people during raids...

Those where the days. Could spam Disarm 2 and do 300-400 dmg in PvP with it.

Has anyone tried DS1 and DS2 against vehicles and seen if they do double damage to them (like lairs)?

I wish they would make disarming shot deselect your weapon, that would make it sooo usefull.
