Well, since BS3 does less damage per second than BS2, fanshot is all we've got.

When/If BS3 gets fixed, this is going to be the winner special for pvp, no doublt. A damage modifier of 4 (same as stopping shot) and a speed modifier of 1, combined with health pool only hits, its going to be awesome, no doubt.

Where'd you get this info?

stopping shot and fan shot are the only shots i use in normal PVE...i dont even do bleeds or BH specials unless its a really hard mob.

stopping shot does almost 3k in pve*. random ham or not its immense dps imo.


*your mileage may vary. offer void where prohibited. send SASE for list of winners. Drivers wanted.

Um, DPS is "Damage per Second" -- it's not really a matter of opinion...

Guys,

This has been posted alot but just to recap:

Stopping shot and BS3 is the win once you hit the speed cap. Until then stick with BS2, doubletap, or even kip up shot (I know, not even in our trees)

Fanshot is very bugged atm. Sometimes it doesn't even fire if you spam it. Other times it only hits your targeted mob, yet agros a cone. This shot was never meant to work the way it did, Multi Target Shot is where it should be. Prior to the last update, fanshot was able to net me over 60 holocrons in the dark trooper base due to it's ability to cut down 4 troopers at a time for avg of 3k per sec to each (yes, I use a 667 dmg reb blaster with power up). It's a powerful shot and should be in our master box.

Fan Shot is not overated. It's fantastic. I've talked to many Master Gunfighters and they all said the same thing. Get Fan Shot first. So I did. This helped me so so much in achieving my goal of Master. Without it I would still be very low in the tree. But with it I would do missions quickly. The Master CH in me also helped I guess. But still, the shot is awesome. Get buffed and go out and use this shot. You will not be disappointed when spamming it.

Fan shot is the best shot we have. The first shot on non targeted mobs never does dmg but it pulls them. Thats the bug in it.

Stoppingshot is too slow, your better off using double tap until fanshot.

At master fanshot will own anything so quick you wont care its hitting random hams. The only shot i use is fanshot unless i only want to pull one mob then its double tap.

You crazy! lol

I'm a MBH and pistoller 0041 and now more pistoleer and less BH but I NEVER use torso shot. Fan shot either actually. I only use stopping shot. Even when I have multiple animals on me I still use stopping shot. It hits random pools yes, but at much higher damage.

I usually KD, torso (for the dot), then run off spamming stopping shot or if a few animals I'll use fan shot from time to time.

i do up to 3.5k damage with fan shot on each mob member, don't tell me it's overrated lol. it has a MUCH higher refire rate than stopping shot, hence you can deal out way more damage in a shorter period of time. granted i'm using a .9 speed max 405 fwg most of the time but hey, fan shot is still better in my opinion. too bad our master shots don't work

i take back my statement on stopping shot being better then fan. Now that I am no longer a BH stopping shot has much to long of a delay. I'm using fan shot all the time now.

lets see i do believe that i incapped 8 imps and 10 npc's almost all at once with fan shot. i'd say its pretty good. stopping shot is slower and only hits one target so fan shot is the way to go where u need to hit everything around.

As Master Gunfigher, my Fanshot took a quantum leap for the better. Using DX2 with powerups, I was making 6-8k damage hits versus Bull Rancors. I regret not taking screenshots, but I was amazed after looking back through the combat queue and seeing this. Fanshot amazingly good, at least at the master level. Stopping shot doesnt do much for me on the other hand. Haven't experimented with Multi Target yet.

It is overrated, show me pictures of a normal, F**kin pistol doing that much damage.....oh thats right you cant you have to show pics of some cheap a*s krayt weapon that someone bugged, you think I fall for that sh*t that easy? Show me a pic of a normal 300 dmg pistol doing 20k per second or w/e that ignorant **edit** said on the first couple of replys. Jedis dont do that much damage I doubt a pistoleer does.

I just got fanshot a few days ago.Last Sat. as a matter of fact. I was 1141. Now am 2242. With that and stopping shot I rarely use my pve macronow. IMHO Fanshot rules.

fanshot can be great fun in pve.

run up to piket plains walker mission,,,, don't take out the 2 pikets, instead shoot the lair, spawn 3 more, get 6 on you and burst run round in circles watching the combat log fill up

Once I hit master I worked out i needed about 1,200,000 pistol weapons xp to get smuggler 0040,,,, well i already had 500k left over from grinding my combat xp for the last box.... Anyway, I managed to make 300k xp in one evening of relatively easy-going hunting - A quick comple of missions on Dant, some randoms thrown in on the way (Quekner Ravagers, Relic Reapers and Voritor Slinker Hunters) followed by a group mission into the Janta Stronghold (where i made 200k during our 30 minute raid).

Yes, stopping shot does more damage to single targets, but fanshot rocks ongroups and is great fun when you are being chased by half a dozen mobs.
