Pistoleer Archive

Haven't thoroughly tested it out, but gave multitarget a shot. I was turning and shooting various targets. I was happy it fired at all, and it did seem to attack everything near me. I'll try to figure it out more, but I'd encourage some of you to try out as well and see what happens.

so you're saying it works like the new fanshot? *sigh*

Lol, yeah, I guess so. Though when PvP gets fixed, the new Fan Shot should rock. Can't wait.

No... we dont need fanshot to be AOE... if it could knockdown tho... lol. Ugh I understand fanshot now as AOE is very useful in certain situations... but I used it in EVERY SITUATION... now I need to use Bdysht2 ALL the time... joy.

I personally like the new aoe fanshot its great. Instead of using fanshot all the time then try to use kip up shot. It's dps is about the same as fanshot i believe. If you need to oneshot something then use stopping shot. I know our specials are broken but i think we do have a couple of options. You will also be able to vary your attacks now instead of using one spammed move all the time. Good luck in finding new tactics but i like fanshot the way it is.

I don't want to use those other shots. I want fan shot FIXED!

ROFLMAO!

WHAT?!?! You mean we can't just spam the same shot over and over and over??? You mean we actually have CHOICES in what shot we use for DIFFERENT situations?!?!? You mean we are actually starting to get some versatility and more useful??? HOW AWFUL!!!

/sarcastic = OFF

Come on guys, at least they are changing and fixing our specials for the better...the biggest problem with pistoleer is that we have only one or two shots that work properly/well enough to use...I think this new fanshot is a big step in the right direction. Try using some strategy and thought...and try different, new combinations in different situations before you start crying about how you liked it better before, when before you were crying to change it!

Make no mistake, I, and many other pistoleers, feel that this is a good step forward...it's not done, but it IS a start!

good call, fan shot was one of those shots, and about spamming one shot.. well what the hell else are we supposed to do? thats basically all that pvp is anyways, all i get hit for is the same attack again and again...

so dont give the guy hell, he has an honest gripe, although guy, get master and use stop shot, youll do alot more damage than using fan... with the pistol speed bonus and a 1.6 spd pistol or better you are going to be attacking just as fast as fan shot and doing more damage.. nice isnt it?

I know, I mean we should use skills that are not even in the pistoleer profession, thats what this profession is all about varity! Who ever said any of our special attacks should be worth a **edit**, I sure didn't!

I hate to break it to you guys, but you were ALWAYS better off spamming BodyShot2 or even KipUpShot instead of FanShot.

First of all, why in the heck would you want to use FanShot over BodyShot2 as a general purpose shot? When you take into account the fact that FanShot only hits health 55% of the time (as rigorously tested recently), it's far better to use BodyShot2, which hits health 100% of the time.

Even if you wanted to hit Random HAM for whatever reason, KipUpShot gives you better DPS at lower speeds and StoppingShot gives you better DPS at high speeds.

So we're not losing anything useful ... at least now FanShot does SOMETHING that our other shots don't do.

Exactly. We've finally been given a special which is clearly an improvement to our Marksman specials and its a cause for complaint. Considering that you can cause Fan Shot damage over multiple targets, you would be able to place quite a large amount of damage on a crowd in little time at all.

If you miss Fan Shot so badly, just hotkey KipUp and you're in the exact same spot as you were before.

kick up uses a LOT more green bar

fan shot rocks as it is

use stopping shot and BS2
