SHould there be a new special attack? I think so. (If it worked :smileyhappy Do to the time it takes to take down a lair i believe that there should be a "Lair Attack." This would solve the new problem of having to take down lairs without Disarming shots 1 &2

Sorry, let me clear the question up....

Do you think there should be another pistol special attack? If so, what? And do you agree with my "Lair Attack" idea?

No, there shouldn't be a new one (excluding a case in which they remove a current special *cough*PointBlank*cough* and replace it with a new one), since we already have enough specials. And hell no, I would never want a special called "Lair Attack" or any special that had the sole purpose of damaging lairs.

Ok... so if they were to take out a few of the old broken ones first, what specials woud you guys put in? I will admit that a "lair shot" is kind of...well....out nicely....dumb, but i still think that there should be a special that has a x2 or 3 against a lair as ONE of its effects.


So anyways....

what do you guys think?

Some professions have been asking for a new special or two. I think we have so much of a clean slate to write in whatever we want because our specials are so bland that it just hasn't been prudent.


The idea of a lair shot sort of has merit, but I think it would go much better in the Marksman tree in a place that would be accessable to everyone. Either Novice, Master, or the Ranged Support line. Remember DPS should be more or less evened out in the Combat Balance, so everyone is going to suffer pretty much equally bringing down a lair. I'm sure there will still be DPS advantages for this profession or that profession, but certainly not the vast disparities that we are seeing now.

First things first, if all the existing specials have a meaning and you want them all on your toolbar because they are all so handy, we can talk about new ones.

hey i got a great lair attack for you ... yeah its called fanshot, yeah disarming shot 1 and 2 do far less damage to lairs then fanshot with my dx2 i will shoot a lair and get around 300 damage with disarming shot but with fanshot i get around 600-800 plus fanshot is incredibly fast.

Some people refuse to acknowledge that Fanshot is actually multiple hits to multiple targets. I always use it on Lairs. At that point it's more powerful than Stoppingshot.


Fanshot = Great over Multiple Pools.

Stoppingshot = Best over a single Pool.
