Fanshot (cone attack)

Stopping shot(higher damage mod, slower, single target)

Last Ditch(even higher damage mod and even more slow. Also single target).

Always use fanshot if you are attacking multiple targets at once, otherwise use the others depending on how high a pistol speed mod you have, and how low speed a pistol you have. Whichever attack you can get off fastest, use it.

there ya go, i was gonna say that if no one had said that

Fanshot is faster than Stopping shot with just master pistoleer and smug line.....so you end up with more DPS than stoppingshot or last ditch (of course i really havnet checked this often, since i got the speed cap fast)

almost entirely true....... last i checked last ditch and stopping shot had the same delay, but last ditch has a 6x dmg modifier (andthat chance to stun)while stopping shot onlyhas 5x
either way, fanshot canSTILL bemore damaging after your speed is capped if you can fire at fish in a barrel so-to-speak, especially with a built-in DOT pistol, as you can affect many mobs at once

while last ditch does do more dam., it also has a delay effect afterwards,therefore making stopping shot better...not as much dam, but you can hit faster with it

and yes fan shot is the best for multiple targets

all special delays take place after the special

even if it was before stoppingshot, how is that better?
it still has the SAME delay as last ditch, only less damage and no chance to stun, the only disadvantage i see is the skill point investment just to use last ditch effectively vs. using stopping shot effectively

Last ditch is the best thing that has happened to me in PvP. when i PvP i start with my geo eye shot (usually it does not work). i then use last ditch with the geo, most of the time this is enough. but in the off chance those fail (along with other tactics such as DOTs etc.) last ditch with a launcher pistol is unstoppable (dont like to use LP unless last resort cause sometimes it will lag me so bad i get whuped). It can take down an "uber 1337" melee defense stacker in literally seconds, not to mention how wonderful it is on a turret.

getting back to the point...most people say speed is an issue with this attack but it really isnt. with a mediocre speed pistol (say 3.0 or lower) you will have no problem reaching cap so long as your skill mods are capped. It is definately worth the additional SP for that extra couple hundo dmg.

why is the launcher pistol so good? it doesnt have any ap nor a high dmg. i have the "elite pistoleer" tamplate which gives me every pistol, it would make more sense to me that the geo pistol would do better then the launcher.
