Pistoleer Archive

Fanshot, except for the intitial shot (before the agro) works fine. Ive learned how to use this shot well, and I must tell you that for getting experience you cannot beat it. Its the first Area Effect Attack for this profession and those of you that are having trouble with it need to learn more about how to use AE attacks. With a low level pet I can drop 4 mobs of decent challenge level, gaining 4 times the experience in 1/4th of the time.

Fastgun

The heck? I LIKE the fanshot as is currently as a cone effect!

Excellent illustration Dangaio. I couldn't have described Fan Shot any better.

great, so because of all these whinging pistoleers we're going to lose one of the best attacks we've ever had?

great stuff, keep up the good work in trying make us even less useful.

The term "fanshot" was first used by pistol users who "fanned" the hammer while firing. Thus giving it greater speed than pulling the trigger repeatedly.

So a traditional "fan shot" should be faster, and hit the target more often.

The Area-effect fanshot should be called, "covering-shot".

Well, there's no hammer on these guns, so it aint the traditional fanshot anymore, is it? Most of us don't "dial" the phone anymore either. It's fine if fanshotNOW means a fan or cone shaped area of effectiveness.

I dont really care what they do with the shot, just make it so we have a fricken AoE attack that does the same dmg as Fanshot does

Man you just dont get it. Pistoleer has an AOE attack that doesnt work like the messed up fan-shot.. thats Multi target.. Stop telling the developers to leave fanshot the way it is. knowing them and their mindless ways they will leave it and we are stuck with a unfixed AOE and a fanshot that does what the unfixed one should and we are just left without a good speed damage shot. Fine then change the name of Fan-shot to Multi Target shot and make Multi Target shot into Fan-shot and then ask them to fix our fan-shot.. now I bet that makes sense huh? Yea its great for you people who only master one tree of the pistoleer line. but it does nothing to fix the profession. You people only want to help keep what you like thats understandable but should not be done.

lol snix wat planet are u from? u are a pistoleer. wat the hell are u talking about? are u a bh thinking were talking about eyeshot? wrong forum guy

Osx,

Excuse me? what the hell am i talking about? Ask yourself that, i don't even know what you were trying to say.

Yes i am a pistoleer (master), and no, i don't dabble in BH.

With fanshot being aoe cone now, i can hit x number of targets in my sights for 1500+ dmg each, with one shot. I can't see what the problem is.

If you want to target a single enemy with random ham damage, or if you're not skilled enough to use a aoe cone attack without getting yourself killed, use stopping shot, simple.

Dangaio said it best and that is exactly what a fan shot is or should be. Why have multi target shot if fan shot does the same thing. I think beaf up the multi target and put fan shot back to a single target attack. What's with body shot 3 being so weak? As of now the fan shot hit's multiples.

Geezus you guys are NUTS. We get an AoE shot and you guys start complaining? Cuz you can't learn how to target your stuff correctly?

How many other professions get an AoE shot and start whining that it's not a better version of a lesser shot? Flushing Shot 2? Panic Shot? Whatever the Carbiniers have?

You guys are crazy to complain about Fan Shot. All you guys want is a bigger and faster Stopping Shot, one level up from Stopping Shot. NO other weapon combat tree gets that (you don't seeFlurry Shot 2 andFlurry Shot3 in the same tree next to each other, or Head Shot 2 and Head Shot 3, or Leg Shot 2 and Legs Shot 3). So why do you want to nerf the greatest shot we've gotten forever, in favor of reverting a shot that is only slightly better than its precessors?

As far as "fanning the hammer goes" this is so you can shoot multiple opponents at once, not so you can shoot the same guy 5 times. If you ever did watch those old westerns, a guy "fanning the hammer" would be shooting at a street full of people, or at a couple of guys on the roof, or at a bunch of guys in a crowded bar room. In a Quck Draw situation, he's only pulling the trigger once cuz he's going for speed. When he's fanning the gun he's hitting multiple targets with separate shots...

...exactly what Fan Shot currently does...

Please please please please don't change Fan Shot from what it is now - it's AWESOME and a lot of fun! Why change what makes the game fun to play?

I want an animation for my toon wiggling the wires on his blaster, or maybe tapping the battery.... I still love how we're supposed to be "fanning" a weapon without a hammer

Fanshot works with a cone effect, I like it. If they change it so MTPS works with a cone effect until the shoot in a sort of circle but not really as it does now, that'd be cool too. I just wish they'dsatifice those two and move onto our other two trees of useless specials....
