So i have heard you can stack torso 3 times?
Ahh nothing better than setting a jedi on fire who has 300-500 bf from grinding hehe
So i would imagine the only way to stack it 3 times is with 3 diferent pistols right?
Thx in advance guys.

Uhm not that I know of. Once you hit a DOT from one special, next time you hit with that special, the higher one sticks and cancels the other out, or something like that.
But you can... Torsoshot, healthshot2, healthshot1, bleeding shot.
That would be 4 seperate dots...

I use all those 4^^^ then I use some last ditch which makes your target stunned. Its a killer combo if your goin for health instead of mind on a long battle.

While Master Pistoleer/Bounty Pistols may have the advatage of Eye Shot, I think the attacks lean more favourably towards taking out someones health bar. I hit Torso Shot with a Modified Republic Blaster: putting a bleed on them and one fire DOT. Then switch to my DE-10 and hit them with another Torso Shot and hit them with Panic Shot and Low Blow. Then I switch finally to my Geo blaster and hit them with Bleeding Shot, Health Shots 1 and 2 and a third Torso Shot before spamming Stopping Shot. I don't have Last Ditch and wouldn't drop Invest 4 for the world. The Torso Shot fires do stack three times when used with three different pistols, I think. Generally, I end up with a third of my health gone and my opponents health totally empty with that little number.

Torso Shot is unique among DOT attacks in that you can stack it up to three times with one weapon. Spam it three times, your target has three Fire DOTs.

Then that is a bug.

See what the other Pistoleers have to say about it around here.
If it is a bug, we've shared the information enough that they could easily fix it. I tend to think that it's working the way it was intended. But if it is ever changed, it'll be just one more detriment to BH-Pistoleers everywhere.

How the hell can you possible say it is working the way its intended when no where in the description does it say "this dot can stack up to three times." On top of that, why would only one dot out of the 4 or so dots for Pistols be given special treatment and be able to stack?
By no means do I believe it to be working properly.
If it indeed does stack three times, that is definately a bug.

If stacking it 3 times is a bug then why would it stop at 3? Why not 10 or 50? Maybe it is intended.

Think what you like. Special Attack descriptions are rarely as clear as they could be. Stopping Shot doesn't stop, Pistol Melee Defense 1 isn't a Melee attack at all. It works fine, and we like it. It's one of the few tidbits we get. If it is broken, we don't care. Why do you?

First of all, it's a Bounty Hunter special, not a Pistoleer special, so its criticism/discussion doesn't even belong on this forum.
Second, decide how you want to play. Neither the Devs, or our Profession Correspondant have stated that it's an exploit (and unlike some Correspondants, LordMaxx actually reads these forums, and he's never criticized Torso Shot's useage this way), so until they do, I'm going to think that Torso Shot is working exactly as intended:A unique DOT special that allows you to stack up to three times.
