Thread: Best Pistol Attack Move?
For PvE:
vrs. groups- /fanshot
vrs. single targets- /healthshot2 seems to put the largest amount of damage to a single pool, anyone else seeing more from something else?
any other attacks are just icing on the cake- /panicShot will stop a targets friends from ganging up on you for 10 seconds, /lowBlow will take your target out of play for a few seconds and give a bonus to damage while they're knocked down... etc.
For PvP:
If I get incapped right away- I either Force of Will and /burstRun for the hills, or I mutter and curse about forgetting to clone when I got there.
If I survive the initial attack- I take off my armor, /feignDeath, and go make a sandwich. ![]()

LMFAO if that doesnt sum it up i dont think anything will
fanshot is TOO cool hehe
i use /fanshot, /healthshot1, /healthshot2 (this works great on multiple targets... just tab between them and spam healthshots 1 and 2 to get em all bleeding then go to town on em all with fanshot. if you got quick fingers you can take down groups of 15 or so tuskens without much of a problem ![]()
oh yea and if you got BH pistols like i did at one point, there is something to be said for being able to inflict4 different bleeds a burn and some serious mind damage with a good scatter pisol ![]()
i dont think a lot of people know this but if you use a modified republic blaster when you do any sort of bleed shot it stacks
with bh pisols and pistoleer i could stack up to four different bleed shots AND a burn shot and would bleed a target for up to 1000 at times LMFAO thats kinda funny when you get all four on em ![]()

I thought both Bleed shots didn't stack anymore?
And which is better for a "basic" attack, HealthShot2 or BodyShot2?
both about the same but until they fix bodyshot3 i use healthshot2
oh yea and test it out sometime
use a modified republic blaster and healthshot1 and 2 on a warlord or somethin and watch him bleed for around 600+ each time LMFAO
its great ![]()
wateo
just to clarify..... the modified republic blaster bleed stacks on itself
have you ever gotten the "you have sustained more bleeding!" message? it's the same thing
fanshot with the mod. rep. is the way to go..... it'll stack all those bleeds on many targets at once
M. rep. blaster stacks on itself? didnt know that... but you can also double up with both health shot 1 and 2 you will see your target bleed multiple times if you do it that way hehe i usually get around a 600 bleed total

Ok completely getting off the beaten path.. In PvP at master the best is Intimidate & Last Ditch. Intimidate with stun helps a ton... ok ok back on topic..
Health shot 2 for pve is very nice because its focused..
Fan shot has been working great for me. I went through the Weapons Facility on Naboo for most of it solo taking out rooms at a time with it. I like to use /aim before using the knock down, sure it takes at little extra, but I find that I knock down my opponent almost every time that way. Once they are down I spam stopping shot into them. As far as body shot3 goes, eh, I have mixed results. My standard attack is Health Shot1, Health Shot 2, (which I still see as stacking), then a whole bunch of stopping shots.
Fanshot.
I almost never use PMD because it never works in pvp, and since we don't have a dizzy PMD is nearly useless.
