Drop Torso Shot. The ability to land stun and completely destroy a target with a 6X's multiplier is worth gold.

By dropping Torso Shot, you will lose +10 speed and +10 accuracy. These mods are meaningless. Why????? The speed does jack, you will speedcap anyways. The accuracy is not only negligible, but +10 accuracy will NOWHERE be as effective as the stun state.

If you land a stun on a target (i.e. defense stacker), you will hit them a SIGNIFICANT amount more than without the stun state. This significance greatly overshadows the effects of gaining +10 accuracy.

Once you stun a target, most of the other shots will land... each shot will be doing a 6X multiplier. The damage per second on the health bar alone is greater with Last Ditch than Torso Shot. Keep in mind that Last Ditch will hit the health bar 60 ish percent of the time.

With a 300 damage pistol:

Last Ditch = 300 * 1.5 * .25 * 6 * .6 = 405 damage per second to the health bar

Torso Shot = 300 * 1.5 * .25 * 3 = 337 damage per second

So you can stack the fire from Torso Shot 3 times??? The burn from Torso Shot is 50% of the original damage to the target. On a target with 80% composite, you will do a 337 * .2 * .5 = 33.7 burn every 10 seconds. Let's multiply this burn times three: 33.7 * 3 = 101 damage every 10 seconds due to the burn. 101 damage due to a burn, is this significant???

Well that is 101 extra points of damage every 10 seconds, which means that you get an extra 10.1 damage per second. Let's modify our comparison between Last Ditch and Torso Shot above:

Last Ditch = 405 damage per second to the health bar

Torso Shot = 337 + 10.1 = 347.1 damage per second

But wait!!! There is MORE!!!

By landing the stun state you actually do even MORE damage per second than without it. This means that Last Ditch will land a significant amount more than Torso Shot will. This also means that ALL of your other specials will hit more after you apply the stun state. This means a more effective EyeShot or any other special you choose to use.

In addition, you will ALSO be hitting other pools at the same time. You will be hitting the Action as well as the Mind pool also.

Please, for the love of humanity and all aliens in our galaxy, DROP Torso Shot and KEEP Last Ditch!!!!
