Thread: Suppression Fire vs Low Blow
Suppression Fire | Drops an opponent's posture, and includes a 5-10s delay of weapon fire/use. Depending on the opponent's defensive skill vs. posture change, that delay could vary, as well as the time the opponent is at the changed posture.
Low Blow | Knocks down an opponent, and also has a 5-10s delay of weapon/fire use. Opponent also spends some time on their back, which could differ depending on their defensive skill vs. knockdown.
Both are pretty much the same really, from what I have seen. Though I could be wrong.
Knockdown might be better though, if you can add a cheap effect like Dizzy, removing their chance to get up completely in which they will remain on their back for up to a minute.
I don't think that Low Blow is worth the skill points that it takes to get.
Unless of course, the Knockdown timer and the Posture Change timer are seperate when both used, that way you can use both.
Otherwise Posture Change does the job well enough.
Remember posture change means they can still fire there weapon from the new postion after the 5 second timer is over where as with a knockdown they have to get up before they can shot again. Thats really the main difference.
I hope they give pistoleers some new skills cuz your right all pistoleers will be abliged to become Pistoleer/BHs or Pistoleer/Smugglers just to get some decent skills.
