Thread: Healthshot 2 instead of bodyshot 2?

I have been grinding pistol xp the last few days on Dant to get my master smuggler, and noticed that using healthshot 2 gave 500-1000 damage to the health pool, while bodyshot did only about 500 max. I am only a 0/0/2/1 pistoleer currently.


My question is this, should I spam healthshot 2 instead of bodyshot 2, or is there a delay that will make it not as good as it seems?

You see it well....


HS2 is by far better than BS2 even better than BS3....


Actually, the best shot Pistoller have right now is : Stopping Shot (but slow), fan shot (fast and multi target avg dmg = 900), pistol melee def.1 (Knock down) and HealtShot2 (hit health pool)...



Its sad.. but only these special working properly...

good info....I was going to ask this as well. I started Pistoleer yesterday and kept noticing my HS2 would hit on initial bleed hit for 700+ (range 300-1200 on savage quenkers), then my BS2 would be in the 400's(range 150-650) so I started just spamming HS2, but didn't know if it was slower or did more damage to the weapon, etc. I read through the FAQ, but didn't see it mentioned anywhere that the style choice for leveling to Fan Shot was HS2.


Later on last night, though, I started testing point-blank area 1 and it was consistently hitting for 250-500 on multiple targets so I think I will stick with it for the first 4 quenkers, then use HS2 on the other 2.

I have never used hs2 for grinding after the new patch because the bleed deducts from u'r exp earned, but then again i have mastered pistoleer right after that nerf

It has to deal with how much damage you actually do with each shot, if you use a bleed and feign, or peace out of it and watch em bleed... then it takes away your xp.

I've been using HS2 to grind master pistoleer ( finally got it last night ) and was still getting 3-4k xp a kill, the same I get not using HS2.
