the animation for the special has nothing to do with how many times you're hitting the targets. makes it more "star warsy" to have random sequence of shots etc. the times at which you're hitting your target have no relation to the light coming out of your gun :/

Well I'm only 0/0/3/3 and i prefer double tap to stopping shot primarily because its so much faster. Especially since i seem to get these crummy 600 damage Stopping Shot's in PvE all the time, which is on par with the low end damage i do with double tap (Republic Blaster 66-201/2.2) but takes almost 3 full seconds till i can fire again, as opposed to about 1 Double Tap / sec

Double Tap is ok but if you use a powerup keep in mind that it counts as 2 shots and will use 2 PU charges. Also will cause your weapon to wear out faster.

The only use for Double Tap is for HAM effeciency (more damage for the same HAM as KipUp shot) however it is naturally slower. It is a pretty sad shot in the today's combat world (Spam Wars: Galaxies), but with the upcoming changes that encourage using special attacks sparingly with auto-attack being the primary damage output, it may find its place again.

I was under the impression that Doubletap did 2x its normal damage to PvE lairs? I remember hearing that somewhere and it's hit as good as Stopping Shot on lairs in my own personal experience. Is that still the case or was it recently changed?

You're thinking Disarming Shot 1, which is good against lairs. That's about all it's good for, however.


Even then, a Novice TKA does better lair damage.
