Pistoleer Archive

i dont

because it works when i dont want it to. and doesnt work when i do want it to. I have also noted they reduced the damage of it. I liked it better when it had almost the power of stopping shot, but was faster.

Hey, if they make PB Area 2 and MTPS hit multiple targets, then I won't complain too much.

A fan-scatter-shot sounds kind of cool.

the biggest problem with a AOE atatck for a pistoleer is that on any harder MOBs it is totally useless because a pure pistoleer will get absolutely trashed by multiple aggros. If they are gonan have it AOE they need to boost up the damage or soemthing.

i know i was in a hunting party and using stopping shot on a bol and i accidentally hit fanshot and the AOE actually worked (liek i said....always when you dotn want it to) and i ended up with 4 Bols attacking me.

Well currently all the specials in the techique line does pretty much the same thing, that's why I love the new fanshot change. You can't just wildly fire unless you want to attract lots of aggro, and it comes in very useful when you actually pay attention to what you're doing.

I like it a lot, but I'm not at all surprised it's being changed. I'm presently using it on mobs that I attempt to get lined up or tightly grouped, rotating my camera downwards so that I do not hit other stuff (yeah, if you can't see/select the target, fanshot won't hit it), and blasting up to a half dozen to death in the exact same time it takes me to kill one.

I have not been able to get more than 6 or so grouped, mainly because there are so few spawns with more than this that will all defend, but if I could I suppose I would be killing all of them too in the same time as I can kill one.

I'm betting since we never once suggested a change like this to fan shot in the first place, and that we never suggested a change after it changed to the AOE shot, that our input isn't really what's being considered here.

In fact, I only knew it changed because I read a post from a player that tested it on the TC. Cool,I know.

Personally I think the new fanshot is great. It's added a new dimension of gameplay to me as a pistoleer instead of tab/bs2/bs2/tab/bs2 etc. I just wish it were fixed a tad (really hitting all mobs in the cone). Apparently it's been changed on test center to hit one target multiple times, where I'd rather keep it as-is!

PS To devs, there's other 'cone' attacks that work perfectly fine - go reuse that code!

So is Fan Shot back to the way it worked before the cone effect? Or does it really hit one target multiple times, doing more damage?

It currently hits all targets in the cone once per round, doing big damage.

I think the effect (area of effect cone) is a very useful skill. However....

Multi-target pistol shot is supposed to do this not Fan Shot!!!

Go back and read the description of Fan Shot and MTPS on your skill trees. The Devs screwed up again.

Description:

Fan Shot is supposed to hit a SINGLE TARGET multiple times.

Multi-Target Pistol Shot is supposed to hit MULTIPLE TARGETS.

I've lost almost all faith in the Devs to do anything "right".

ok, so would you be happy if they changed the description?

btw, targeting multiple enemies and hitting each one seperately (which i think MTPS isdoing or supposed to do)is different to a cone aoe.

Well in the true tradition of the developers and being lazy it seems like they will just do their old swith'a'roo.. rather than fix something or admit they messed up they will just change the name and description of it and feed you some BS like "It was intended to be this way" or "This was a bug and was not the original intent" I hope you people dont actually believe this crap. Anyone who codes or scripts knows.
