Yea and um, I dunno if I'm posting in the right spot but it seems that ever since I Masterd Pistoleer, that PistolMeleeDefense1 works and PMD2 doesn't. I get awesome KD's w/ PMD1 and not even any damage gets done w/ PMD2..so yea
FIX IT!

I can confirm that Warning Shot and Disarming Shot seem to do nothing.
Also Intimidate shot seems to cause lag when resisted.
Does Improved Firearm Strike work as a KD at all? It doesn't do a lot to Mobs and I've not tried it on players yet. Why is there an alarm going off when the move fails? Does this replace "You fail to knock down your target"? It seems to be the only move with a yellow warm up timer bar as well.
So, I was using the following combo... seems useful:
Adv. Stopping Shot
Intimidate Shot
Improved Burst Shot
Then Quickdraw and Bodyshot one after the other for damage. Not particularly exciting really, and only really made fun by being able to stick Poison, Flames and Disease after the Adv. Stopping Shot.
As for the CU being in its infancy, it is really... even though it is two weeks to live there is still a lot of work to do.

Disarming shot DOES work (about 60% of the time), another pistoleer used it on me last night and i could not shoot back for around 5 seconds, i've also escaped rancors with it, however swordsman particuarly seem to not suffer the penelty.

Maybe we should get the alarm that you get with a failed Firearm Strike for all failed moves.

Yes disarming shot does seem to work. It may actually fail sometimes, I dont know if it can be resisted, Ill pay particular attention to it tonight.

Most definitely, drives me mad guessing if disarm has worked or not.

Even a fly-out would be nice:
+DISARMED+
...
-DISARMED-
That way we don't need to watch for system messages or combat spam. Also, since I wasn't aware that it worked, has anyone tested what using this attack repeatedly does? Like suppose you did BodyShot, DisarmingShot, BodyShot, DisarmingShot .. etc. would that delay a person significantly?

cause people seem to still be in melee mode, i tend to use stoppingshot, the disarming shot to fill the breif period between when they ebcome unrooted and can be rooted again, usually get away with only taking one hit, less if you've got bh pistols and can get a kd in there.
Against ranged, i suppose in theory it doesnt buy you alot of time, maybe enough time for a quick heal? Switching between body shot and disarming shot did seem to work alittle, but you'll still take a round of damage between moves.

It's possible this could have been lag but I was on endor and it wasn't very populated at all.
Fanshot seemed to "stick" and not fire the second time if I hit it twice. It would fire the first shot, and the yellow box around the hotkey would come up but it would never fire the second unless I hit the button again(a third time).
I didn't report it yet, wanted to see if anybody else had this happen, and to be sure it wasn't lag or something. If it does it again tomorrow I will report it.

That sound like the timer on fanshot. You cant spam moves over and over anymore... but you can do things like fan shot followed by burst shot then fan shot again (timer permitting).

yes...you have to take a more active role in your combat techniques...just hitting it twice means the second one will be ignored, you probably need to wait until fanshot has actually fired to queue up the second attempt at it. Or cue up a different shot, thta seems to be easier...
Really the least likeable thing I've experienced in the CU thusfar ... I don't mind an 'active' role, but having to hit Function keys in a timed rhythm when I already know what I want to do is just too freakin' arcade-y ....
Is an attack pattern of preferred attacks macro-able, or are we stuck in an arcade henceforth?
