Well, since BS3 does less damage per second than BS2, fanshot is all we've got.

stopping shot is also overrated. again does random HAM damage and the time delay on it is a killer.

When I level up I tend to solo. It drives me nuts to have to wait around for other people. There is always that one guy who keeps saying "Wait my friend is almost here."

Since you seem to think everything is overrated, maybe you're just a gimp? God I hate these frigging whiners, specially when they're holocron gimps.

When/If BS3 gets fixed, this is going to be the winner special for pvp, no doublt. A damage modifier of 4 (same as stopping shot) and a speed modifier of 1, combined with health pool only hits, its going to be awesome, no doubt.

of course I'm a gimp, read the first post I said that in the first sentence. Do you think I'd willingly choose this profession?

Bodyshot3 == the suck



FanShot > Stopping shot because it hits multiple targets AND a Much shorter delay.

This is why the FAQ needs to be updated! It's clear there are pros and cons to all specials and that also there are right ways and wrong ways to use them!

Well, as soon as youre fighting 2 enemies or more, FanShot will heavily outdamage Last Ditch, so I dont quite see your point

Fanshot'sarea attackis a godsent in PvE. There is no way to get XP faster or kill multiple mobs faster.And the fact that it doesn't cost any extra ham for extra targets make it one of the best attacks in the entire game, and without a doubt makes it a Pistoleer's star skill.


Also, there is nothingthat currently does its jobas a good all around attack as good- Stopping shot does lotsof damage but reloads slow. Double tap reloads fast but doesn't do alot of damage. BS3 is broken, and currently isn't worth theHAMunless your opponent is low in Health.

Note that fanshot misses alot of the targets gets too close. Maybe use a low damage pet to tank them, to keep them a bit away from yourself.

I can't wait for fanshot.

I just got Stopping Shot last night and wow.... what a disappointment.

Maybe as my speed goes up as I get further up the Stances line, but as of now this is completely useless.

Hopefully get Fan Shot today....

stopping shot and fan shot are the only shots i use in normal PVE...i dont even do bleeds or BH specials unless its a really hard mob.

stopping shot does almost 3k in pve*. random ham or not its immense dps imo.


*your mileage may vary. offer void where prohibited. send SASE for list of winners. Drivers wanted.

DAMNIT! I'm climbing the wrong tree, then. That's freakin STUPID... Why are all the single-pool "3" shots nerfed to death? Why on earth is the third worse than the second?! Especially when it takes so much **edit** exp!?
