Thread: stopping shot v fan shot
Fanshot primarily is better unless:
A) You have a really fast gun and can hit the 1.0 mark
B) When used in certain circumstances like:
- creatures that could only take a shot or two
- Final death blow
- When mixing things up in group situations: For example, as Master Ranger, when a swarm hits the group I'll healthshot1/2 and trap each critter. Inbetween my management I'll toss in some stoppingshots.
This same relationship between Fanshot and Stopping shot also applies to Bodyshot2 vs Bodyshot3. Bodyshot2 is better over time, Bodyshot3 is good for certain circumstances only.
And regarding Fan Shot, my understanding was thedevs had decided thateventually(but not this next publish) tomake it into a cone attack.
If stopping shot hits health, you might want to follow up with BS3. If it hits action, Fan Shot. If it hits mind, eyeshot, if you got it.
Leading shot I use is always stopping shot and then follow up on whatever it nailed, hopefully.
