Im 0,2,4,2 on pistoleer and im a mch i never use fan shot cause im not really sure what to do with it. Could someone please tell me under what circumstances it is useful.

The Fan Shot is a cone that starts with your gun and extends 64meters in a modest arc.

Every targetable object in that cone will be hit with your attack. The first time you fanshot, your target will get hit for full damage and every targetable enemy in the cone will become enter combat with you (or at least know you are an enemy). Every shot following this initial one will do full damage to all combatants in that cone.

Riflemen and Carbineers have been using AE shots to full effect for a very long time and with Fan Shot pistoleers finally get in the ball game.

If you are grouped or use some sort of pet to distract your enemies, you can (with care) deal damage to all of them at the same time ... its terrific xp.

Be careful though, make sure you are pointing away from lairs and wandering creatures when you are fanshotting unless you are prepared for the consequences.

Enjoy it... its the only shot in Pistoleer other than HealthShot2 that I actually use

lol......

Double tap sucks real bad.....

my body shot 2 does more dam.......

It like a messed up overhcarge shot that doesnt degrade your weap.......

cant wait to get fan shot !!!!

O.k. So it's the 2nd Fanshot that actually hits ALL the targets, not the first. I was wondering because I was using FanShot and I never seem to be able to hit a bunch of targets at first. But since it never worked right, I never shot it twice in a row.

Does this mean that I ALWAYS have to fire FanShot twice in a row in order to have it be effective? Or can I fire two Fanshots, fire a few StopShots, then come back and do another Fanshot and still have it hit all the targets on the 3rd Fanshot?

The caveat is that the targets have to know you are hitting them. Once you have hit them with the first Fan Shot, they know, so subsequent shots, even later, after Peace or whatnot, will hit them for full damage.
