Thread: I am a master pistoleer only. What shots do I have that only hit action?

That is not correct. I know body shot 3 and pistol melee defense 1 hit action. I guess the only way to find out for sure, is to go use every special on a creature and watch what gets hit. I was just hoping that someone might know for sure which special attack action.
that is not correct. Body Shot 3 does not directly hit the action pool. what you are seeing is called 'pool splash' even a shot directly to a spacific pool will have some (no matter how small) effect on the other two pools. Body Shot 3 like the two Body Shots before it is DESIGNED to hit the health pool. read the description of the three body shots in your Ctrl + S pannel.
the other posters are correct about the specialities of the ranged professions:
Pistoleer = HEALTH (bodyshot & HEALTHshot)
Carbineer = ACTION (legshot & ACTIONshot)
Rifleman = MIND (headshot 7 MINDshot)
it is NOT just some strange coincidence that the attacks have been given these names.

A bit off topic - but isn't it strange that pistoleers whose weapons do the least amount of damage (on average), have specials which attack the largest HAM bar (on average).
Kind of a built in nerf in the system dont'cha think? Puts Pistoleers at a distinct disadvantage compared to other ranged combat classes right off the bat.
rifle= mind
pistols = health
