I'd say Fanshot as well, even though I like using Melee Defense 2.

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.

/pmd1;/stoppingshot;/stoppingshot;


Then I generally use the Health shots, if their health is lower than anything. But that bonus damage when a Mob is knocked down is great.


I also use fanshot religiously.

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

Fan shot right now, but whenver they fix Multi-target and Disarm 2 to work, those will be the king shots of group combat

I thought both Bleed shots didn't stack anymore?

And which is better for a "basic" attack, HealthShot2 or BodyShot2?

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.

Against multiple targets, I use Fan Shot (just like everyone else). It's the best shot in the whole profession. Against single mobs, I use PMD1 or Low Blow and then HealthShot2.


Once I remaster Pistoleer, I will try using Last Ditch, but at 0-0-4-3 it's got too much of a delay to be selected over shooting HS2 at the cap.

Fanshot.


I almost never use PMD because it never works in pvp, and since we don't have a dizzy PMD is nearly useless.
