Fanshot doesn't seem to work correctly for me. I get themobs lined up in the 45-degree cone, open fire and get messages that I've hit my selected target anda coupleothersin the background. BUT even though the I'm told I'm doing damage to secondary targets, the only target that actually receives any damage is the primary target. What am I doing wrong?

Fan shot used to kick butt.


Since the last patch its been broke. I was just going to make a post on it.


Fan shot should do 100% damage to your main target and like 50-75% damage to targets around your main target. Right now its only hitting your main target, and for crap damage I might add.

My wife and I are both pistoleers with fan, and we sit side by side playing. Its not working at the moment. We tried it last night.

I just tested Fanshot 30 seconds ago on swarms of fynocks and rot mites. Worked perfectly fine, mowed down entire crowds without a problem (aside from the usual bug of not damaging targets until they aggro on you).

so when people get this to wrk, are they tanking for themselves? or are people using pets? So they have to be agroing me, but how far away? all my freinds who used to be pistoleers, said that fan shot ruled, but in my experinece, it sucks....

There's a bug with all AOE shots right now ... the first shot will only hit the initial mob you've targetted, but the other mobs in the cone will aggro but not get hit by the first shot. All subsequent shots work normally -- the AOE attacks work fine if the mobs are already in combat with you -- so just spam FanShot and it will work as intended.

well what is this "cone" you describe? what size, what speread is this. the only other AOE attacks I have used was the spin attack in heavy swords... thats sorta different. so what is this cone?

it is well, cone shaped.

It is a narrow cone, I would not depend on more than 30 degrees of arc for the AOE, it may be more but best to guess low in this case.
