Thread: Pub 19: Lower action costs on specials??
Odd... mine was definately lower.
With a 91 SAC gun the following combo before pub 19 would almost completely drain my action:
1) Stopping Shot
2) Torso Shot
3) Advanced Critical
4) Improved Bodyshot
5) Quickshot (or whatever it's called - forgotten now 
)
6) Adv Crit
7) Imp bodyshot
8) Quickshot
9) Ranged shot (or whatever the basic ranged attack is called) x 3
10) Underhand shot
11) Adv crit
Since pub 19 I can now also add on:
12) Imp body
13) Quick
14) Adv crit
before I am drained of action (though this is usually more than enough to stop a same CL mob unless 2 or more shots miss).
So that's 3 whole extra specials I am now able to get in before I am out of action. Can't be a fluke as this happened with every mob I fought.
Hey, it's better than the 115 SAC DX2 I was using
When I find a decent max damage weapon with lower SAC I will buy it!
BTW, I see you are a Chim dude too and enjoy a low SAC on all your weapons... which WS do you recommend?? Vendor search finds thousands of weapons all with SAC of over 100!
At the moment I am using a chap named -evo-, he is very good. The bazaar tends to have a right load of rubbish on it, you really need custom made enhanced guns rather than those pea shooters.
I could sort you out some tissues/shards if you like... ign is praecor, send a mail or tell anytime.
Wait, did you say... 115 SAC? One.. hundred and.... fifteen... special... ackkkkkkk----

Badger, speaking of custom made enhanced guns, have you looted any good Gorax shards recently?All the stuff I've gotten recently is crap. I've heard a rumor gorax shards and krayt tissues have been ninja-nerfed/bugged recently, any truth to it?

Meh,
I have been using an FWG5 pistol made from Gorax shards that is Sac capped at 65, and still has around 882 max dmg.
Of course, the dps is in the 280's base (in the 370's with modified MS, MBH stats), but the damage per minute is much better than a max dps, high sac pistol simply because I never run out of action, EVER. Using repeated Adv Crits, Confusion Shot, bleeds, spray shot, what have you...
BTW, going pistoleer and dropping smuggler - I look forward to checking the FAQ.

This is all very interesting but...
Has no-one else seen any reduction in action costs?
Mind you, I'm beginning to wonder if it might be a lag issue - sometimes I am able to spam special after special with the targets health going down all the time but my action will only drop enough to account for 1 special. It's quite nice actually... maybe I should keep quiet about it...

Sometimes, when fighting Krayts on Tatoooine, the server side lag means my action bar lasts a lot longer, but it just means I am firing slower due to lag.
