MTPS calls down support fire from orbiting Star Destroyers. Huge green waves of death and destruction!





Naw, it doesn't do anything.

Multi-target shot does what the name implies. It hits multiple targets in a limited cone near your selected target. Becareful with this attack, and be aware of what is near and behind your currently selected target, because it can aggro a bunch of previously peaceful target that happen to be near or behind your selected target,in which case you will be mobbed and incapped if not killed. It functions much like the smuggler panic shot but with out the delay.

From what I've been told (not master yet), it doesn't work and does absolutely nothing as the first answer implied.

Oh it works. It haswider cone than Fan Shot, which makes it even deadlier to yourself I tried it a few times when I mastered, but haven't used it since as the Panic Shot is a much better area attack with it's delay. I would not recommend using MTS unless you are having fun with some Durnies.

Wild Bill is one in a million because for me, Philosopher1976 and everyone else, MTPS does absolutely zero. Nada. Null. It doesn't even do a shread of damage. Now, Fanshot works fantastically. But MTPS? Nada. Nill. Nool. Do not pass Go, Do not Collect $200.

Hello ,


Multitarget does work.


I have used it in pvp and pve. It is short range (32m) and good damage, but only works on one condition...


your targets have to be currently targeting yourself. So if 5 objects are targeting you, you shoot 5 targets.


If one guy is targeting you then you just hit him. I would not suggest spaming this shot unless you are in dire shape,meaning...10 mountain squills are on you. The damage i get is in the stopping shot range of damage, and the shot has worked for me in pvp.(It was sweet, incapped a tka, then engaged his master bh buddy, knocked him(the bh) over then multitargeted the tka as he force of willed back on his feet for another incap.)


I would suggest that every master revaulate this skill, I fooled with it for a while and found the proper application for this skill. I currently use it in a melee defense macro, pmd1md2(betterdamage when they are knocked over);pointblanksingle2 and multitargetpistolshot.


I am telling that it does work, I have used it and seen the damage.


Best regards,


Easy-Exanip
