I was wondering? Since I'm about to get it today. I know it targets the health pool. But I heard it was borked....is it ANY more powerful than bodyshot 2?

It was broken for the longest time, but when I made master a few months ago i noticed that it does around 1200-2200 dmg in pve after using a health shot 2 bleed. It works great for me as a master, I prefer it over stopping shot. It singles out the health and owns it.

bodyshot 3 works for me as well.

Fanshot was a letdown though, I just picked up pistol tech. 4 today, and I seem to be hitting less damage with fanshot than I was with stopping shot :/

Luckily I'm a master smuggler, so I use last ditch as my overcharge shot

fanshot is supposed to do less damage than stopping shot, but it shoots faster than stoppingshot as a tradeoff.

Wow, what kind of gun are you using? It highest that I've noticed BS3 get to is about 900-1000 with a 80-270 FWG5. I don't use it all that often so maybe I got some low rolls but I hardly see Stopping Shot ever get as high your BS3.


Is this after a knockdown or what?

I use a krayt prenerf FWG5 50-315, with a dmg powerup it is 58-420 at 1.0 speed. My other one is only 61-276 at 0.8 speed, but it does the job. All of my other ones are like yours. I use health shot 2 first then I use BS3, if I kd first it hits for the high side of 2k alot. The low side is only about 1k damage but it still works great at my speed cap I took out 7 AT-ST's this weekend with a DX2 and BS3, believe it or not it will demolish the walkers' health pool. My Rep blaster has a high side of 460 damage so it makes BS3 kick butt too.

FanShot does less damage because it's faster and it does a Cone Area of Effect attack, where StoppingShot is just for a single target.

It can also shoot many more targets than Stopping Shot.

I do all my Rebel missions taking out lined up Imperials with Fanshot. It's so great.

So......body shot 3 does work now? I'm just a novice pistoleer, so i don't know much. And fanshot does mediocre damage with a cone of attack, and stopping shot is all out power but not as good as last ditch...
Did i get all that correctly or am i missing something?

HAHA, I dont even use Fanshot for pve. I use Pointblankarea 1


Yeah, thats right, a skill from Novice Marksman. With my crappy PvE 202 Dx2, I do 500 damage to everything within 7m. Yep, great for lvling. Its a full 360 degree attack. So I can hit all.



Anyway, BodyShot 3 sucks. For PvP, next patch, Healthshot2 will be a lot better, and faster too
