Pistoleer Archive

Howdy,

Read something from the only correspondant about body shoot II actually doing more damage than Body SHot III (As body shot three instituted a delay). Is this still the case? I have maxed out techniques, and marksmanship, staring the grips line wondering if there is anything usefull in it.

THanks,

it does a little bit more dmg then 2, but the HAM cost is way out of wack, i can use 2 fan shots for the cost of one BS3, so its still not worth using in my opinion.

There have been on pistoleer fixes so far since release.

Check out the FAQ, it's "fairly" accurate. The bottom line is that if you aren't at high pistol speed and/or a very high gun speed (1.4 delay range), chances are body shot 3 will do the same or slightly less damage than body shot 2. Once you master and get a fast gun, you're probably better off with body shot 3. You can run the numbers with your own gun and pistol speed to see where you are in terms of what to use. Sucks, I now, it should ALWAYS be better, and it would be easy to do.

worthless skill i never use it, infact every skill is worthless , im a master pistoleer for long time only skills i use are fan shot and stoppingshot mostly fan shot the 2 skills you get at master are broke ...so is pistol whip 2

Jaegan is right, once you hit Master BS3 is worthwhile.

I just got body shot 3 today and im a 3/2/4/2 pistoleer and i find it worth while in pvp and pve. I never used it solely in any attack unless the target had low health. Basically, i would attack with fan shot, see what hits i get lucky with, if i hit health a couple of times i'll probably reduce my target down significantly so one or two body shots can finish him off. Fan shots damage is amazing but it's random HAM is it's down fall, BS3 being concentrate is good but is slower and weaker then fanshot. I usually just see if i can get lucky with fanshot.

At 3/2/4/2 you should be using BodyShot2, not BodyShot3 or FanShot.
