I was wondering, overall, which is better, healthshot 2 or bodyshot2. For the longest time, I have been using bodyshot2. Is there a real difference/benefit for using one over the other? Thanks.

They are very different attacks, Healthshot is a DOT ( damage over time ) shot and causes bleeding, a slow leak on the targets Health pool. The first "impact" of the shot does no damage in and of itself, but every 20 seconds or so your target will drop an amount of health equal to your healthshot damage. Healthshot 1 &2 "stack" with each other, meaning that you can have your target bleeding out of 2 holes at once for a larger total "bleed"
Bodyshot is a targeted HAM attack. It will always damage the health pool and is our bread and butter as a pistoleer. These attacks work best in concert with each other, apply your bleeds ( healthshot 1 &2) then chop away with the Bodyshot, it all comes off the health bar and the bleeds can give you a nice "boost" in damage as all DOT attacks ignore armor, most of our guns do not.
Your bleeds can be applied again and again for no extra bonus, but the highest value "hit" over rides, so if you get a Healshot1 hit for 30 damage, you can hit your target with it again and the higher value will be the one that leaks out at the next 20 second mark ( or tick)

Thanks for the good information! I didn't know that the two should be used together. Alright, that will do it! Hunting should be much better now
. Thanks again.
