Pistoleer Archive

Hello. I have been a master pistoleer for quite some time now but have never posted on this board yet. First, I would like to say hello to all the pistoleers out there and thanks for all the helpful info in the past. Reading this board has helped me alot. Also, I would like to thank Randonb for doing such a great job as the pistoleer correspondent. Your work is appreciated.

Now to the topic of disarming shot2. I remember reading that this is a great special for taking out lairs. I just recently started doing rancor missions on Dathomir and noticed something surprising with this shot. It has a cone effect just like fanshot! Using this special, I am now able to finish rancor missions faster than janta/mokk missions when I was a tkm. All you have to do is start shooting the lair right away and ignore the rancors. At some point they will start heading towards the lair, but once they get close enough to it, they get hit from the cone effect and then they come after you and ignore healing the lair. I have been using a scatter pistolto do this as acid is one of their weakerresists. If you don't have bh pistols, I am sure that the dx2 would work just fine for this too. I hope this info might come in handy for some of you.

Stopping shot definitely is a higher dps, but it doesn't have the cone effect that disarming2 or fan shot has. Personally, I have found that disarming does the most damage to lairs. Fan shot can hit for alot, but for some reason, it seems to hit for lower on average. Remember to ignore the rancors though. You don't need to shoot them, only the lair.
