Which is better? Bodyshot2 or Healthshot2? They seem to do about the same amount of damage but HS2 has the bleed damage. Also, it seems that HS2 costs more action points to use? Is this accurate?

• Does BS2 do more/less/same initial damage as HS2?


• Does BS2 cost more/less/same per use as HS2?

Thanks!

Generally you want to use Health Shot once during a fight. It does less initial damage at a higher HAM cost, but does damage over time.

If I'm fighting a creature with a lot of hit points, I'll open up with Health Shot 2, then use BS2 as my standard shot, withSuppression or Warning Shot, etc, as needed. If I have to flee I'll hit it with another Health Shot 2 before I do. This will ensure that whileI amresting and gaining hit points for a second attack, the creature is losing hit points.

If the creature is white or below, I generally don't use HS2 at all.

I hope this helps.

Neither Health Shot 1 nor Health Shot 2 do ANY initial damage. The # it lists like:


*You use sap shot and hit for 220 damage

Is actually how much it WILL do after 20 seconds (and every 20s thereafter). You do 0 damage front, and after 20s, the target will take a bleed for 220 off health.

Don't use bleeds in PvE if you won't be fighting the mob for over 20s, is the general rule I use.
