Stopping shot really should be KD. I remember when I got fanshot and stopping shot at the same time, and the first thought that came into my mind was, "Why is this special so **edit**ing slow?". I couldnt stand how slow it was, and no, its damage didnt make up for its lack of speed. 
All we can do is pray that the combat rebalance will be a rainshower of chocolate, and not a meteor blowing up everything SWG. If youre allergic to chocolate then I guess you are screwed both ways. Oh well.

First off, if you were a Pistoleer about a year ago, you would be the most powerful PvP class known to mankind. How? Disarmingshot2 was an AOE Knockdown and back then there was no KD timer, so fly to moenia, find a grp of rebel, spam disarmingshot2, collect all your FP.
Now, stopping shot does nothing. As of right now, it is a poor man's place holder attack until you get last ditch.

It doesn't matter because Last Ditch is so freaking sloweven with a considerably fast gun, andour best guns have no AP! I have an FWG5 that does over 330 Max damage (77min) but it has no AP so it is left in the dust. I spent 2.6 mil on a Geo Blaster that with a Powerup does 471 Max damage, but no AP! The result is if a person is wearing 40% Stun Comp and a 40% PSG your last ditch will hit for roughly 80-120 points of damage per shot. This does nothing against a buffed or Unbuffed person. The DX2, Republic Blaster, and new DE-10 all have light AP, but that sucks and does absolutely nothing vs. anything with Medium or Light armor with high resistances to those damage types. Believe me everyone wearing Comp armor has extremely high resists to Acid and Energy. We are gimped and can do no damage, and I want so desperately to become a Master Swordsman, TKM, Master Brawler, Fencer3400,Novice Medic so I can solo Krayts, NS Elders, and Tear crap apart with my Hammer and Scythes! We get no love and we have no place in this game as far as combat goes, at least compared to many of the other ranged professions (this statement excludes Carbineer because I have no idea what they are about or how effective they are).

Ok, so apply all that I said above about Last Ditch, and put stopping shot in it's place. Last Ditch is a little stronger I believe, but I'm only going on what I've heard.
