Fellow Masters,

I was taking out a flag to complete a faction mission this morning and behind the target was a spawn of forest mites.

Well, all the defenders from my mission where gone so I was just kneeling and spamming DA2. Lo and behold I start seeing combat spam over a couple of the critters behind the flag and they scurry over to **edit** at me.

After I was donewith my mission and with the mites that argoed me, I went over to their lair to test it. Yep, AOE again.

I've never seen that mentioned so I don't know if it was a bug today or if they coded MTP's aoe by accident in DA2 since I can never get MTP to work right.

Anyone else had this happen?

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, Disarming Shot 2 was an AoE knockdown. A cone like Fan Shot, to be exact.

Apparently, this was a mistake. Theeffect actually belonged to a Carbineer specialbut got put in Disarming Shot 2 accidentally (oopsie!). It was stripped from our tree and given to Carbineers, but nothing replaced it in our tree. Now it's an AoE lair shot in the Master Pistoleer box.

Heh, I don't have the memory for specific posters that some people are blessed with. It's frustrating, and I've resorted to taking notes once or twice.I do recognize you as a regular who's been around since the beginning though. I'm sorry about that. Just the same, it makes more sense for me to give more background rather than less. Lots of people out there who don't know the whole history. I seldom post for only the person I am directly replying to.

Yeah, the cone is still in for some reason. It's gotten me in trouble once or twice. Right now I have a timed lair destruction macro with a combo of Disarming Shot 1 & Stopping Shot. It fires one or the other every so many seconds, and if I have lots of action, I can just hit the macro key 2-3 times instead of once for a moreintense volley. If you don't need as many attacks, it also works to just type:

/disarmingshot2; /disarmingshot2; /disarmingshot2;

into the command line. A little known fact is that you can use the semicolons to divide commands just like you were writing a macro. It loads up the 3 attacks at the same time, and you can just "ctrl + up" to load them again. This is easier than doing just one and performing "ctrl + up" over and over.

As always, be sure to /dump when you are done with your macro (mine isn't recursive, but I /dump it anyway). You don't want to leave it running and then have it fire while you are examining a Kimogila.

Randonb,

Thanks for the feedback. So the AOE is still there. First time I had noticed it.

But... you don't remember an old school Pistoleer when you see them? I've been around since the days when pistoleer ruled with DA2 AOE knockdown and PMD1 spam (pre-timer days)

I, like you was here when Jaegen88 had your job and people *played* pistoleer and not just hologrinded it...

Just giving you a hard time Randonb...

You're posts are always extremely informative and well thought out. I definitely believe you do the right thing by trying to answer a question for everybody and not just one poster.

Cheers!
