The Tumble To *** moves prevent you from executing any other specials for a certain amount of time. I find them worthless. The Dive Shot, Roll Shot, and Kip Up Shot are just a way to get a free position change and do some damage at the same time. They can also be strung together to make interesting macros. Someone posted a fun one a while back like this:

/rollshot; /bodyshot3; /kipupshot

Do it from standing and you'll see your character roll intoa kneeling position, take an accurate body shot, and then shove up off the ground back to standing.

None of these6 moves are particularly special, though,in my opinion.

I find kipup shot very handy when soloing lairs for missions.

I go prone for more accuracy about 35 to 40 meters away, aim, and fire off 2 bodyshot2's and just follow it up with regular attacks. It takes a few hits for the creature to find me and come charging. Then I kipup shot it and if i'm lucky, it tagets health, which is already low from my earlier barrage, and the critter is dead before it can touch me.

Rinse and repeat for the rest.

Thanks for the ideas.

But basically useful for getting style points it sounds...

for some reason whenever i roll shot i always perform a much more powerful than normal atk. just today i did a roll shot and did 754 action dmg to a white con.

I cant tell how they help you.

Also, when I use some of these my queue seems to get stuck and I cant use my other speicals until I clear again.

i find them useless... you can go from kneel to stand to prone all while shooting any special attack anyway. Besides those shots hit random HAM pools. It's semi useful at lower levels of skill but once you get bodyshot2 or higher it won't be used much.. what it is good for is lairs since they don't have HAM...

I do the diveshot for the extra damage and speed, when I've got a good chance of 1 shot killing the critter. I find the roll up shot (prone to kneel) nearly worthless because you can't use it when you need it due to the creature being too close (it calculates the shot prior to the kneel, so you get the 'too close to use this attack' bs).

Actually kip up shot is very nice you can be standing and still use this special. If you watch the damage it will be higher then body shot. And it costs you less ham to pull off a kip up then a body shot. The only draw back is it is a random ham pool for damage.

un macro of roll shot bosy shot and kip up shot ( make sure you puit a pause 1; inbetween)

I cant believe you people are saying they are useless check the damage on these shots they do more damage than a body shot 2 My max on them with my 62 dps scatter pistol is well over 700. Though they do attack a random HAM. Use the macro in duels and when they are inapped they will get up and say " WOW what the hell was that" not only does it do great damage, its good against rifle man cant mind shot a moving target as well, and it Looks really cool, a lot more fun than peopel spamming eye shot or stopping shot.

try the macro its so much fun

/kipupshot;

/pause 1;

/bodyshot2; (note this can be bs1 bs3 or torsoshot)

/pause 1;

/kipupshot;

This macro will kill most oppenents in a duel and if they all hit the health bar will Definatly kill anyone

I see a lot of people listing macros with /pause 1 in them, but I don't use them and have had no troubles. For example this macro works for me 100% of the time:

/rollshot

/bodyshot3

/kipupshot

No pauses, no problem. Is it connection speed or lag related that causes some people to need the /pause?

i use them against lairs and to look cool in groups
