Well....

Fan shot is good when you are facing off against many aggro opponents. Just make sure you don't accidentally draw other creatures to you.

Stopping shot is for a single opponent. It does high damage, but it takes a long time between shots. Because of this, I tend to use double-tap(which has a higher DPS). I'll only use Stopping Shot when the creature's HAM is low.

Hope this helps

I like fan shot. In PvP I've incapped several players at once with it, you can also blow up vehicles out from under people and hit them at the same time with it. It's also a lot faster for less ham, and near the same damage.

I am a MBH and decided to use my extra points in the pistoleer tree and go up the tech tree for the defenses and some extra attacks.

Disarming shot and Couble tap seem useless. Do they have any use at all?

Now I got Stopping shot and that does indeed rock as I hit for 1000+ each and every hit.2 Master Pistoleer friends a of mine said it's good but Fan shot is even better. Well I got Fan shot last night and it's nice and being able to hit mulitple people is nice when being chased but even on just 1 person it does less damage that stopping shot. They said Oh but stopping shot is much slower firing do fan shot does more damage.

Well I am basically at the speed cap so I can shoot stopping shot every second which I demonstrated in a duel with one of them. I can also shoot fan shot every second so the only factor that maters is damage since any pistol with a speed of 2.9 or better (which is all of them) will be at the speed cap.

Is this correct or am I missing something?

Toss your gun specs and your speed mods into the calculator at http://killyourpc.org/swg/swg_dps.php , it'll list for you every pistol attack and its overall DPS in relation to your pistol's damage and your overall speed.

The advantage of Fan Shot over Stopping Shot is the AOE and speed. If you are not at the cap and don't mind hitting multiple targets, Fan Shot would be my choice. If you are using it in PvE and don't want to pull everything within 64m down on you, Stopping Shot would be the way to go.

With BH speed, your only real decision is AOE or no AOE. On a single target and with your speed, Stopping Shot will out damage Fan Shot.

The calculator Mitzah posted is a great one. Here is a hyperlink for the SWG Damage Calculator.

The problem with stopping shot is that it's broken. Check the sticky.

Thanks for the tip -- I just checked the sticky. I'll have to work with bodyshot3 again and see what that does for me. Unfortunately, all of my best pistol specials are random HAM so it seems I only go back to bodyshot3 when the health pool is significantly lower than the others. Panic shot, last ditch, stopping shot, and fan shot are all random HAM unfortunately. It seems seldom I catch a lucky break and the health pool is the lowest of the 3.

Yeah I did use the caluculator Mistak suggested before I posted here. Every skill was a red 1.0 so I was just checking to see if I had missed something. Guess not.

Then let those Stopping shots fly.Its a good special with a high damage Mod.It canwreak some hovac with something or someone if they are knocked down

And since you are at the speed cap, it is the best Pistoleer shot. Unless you decide to take on 3 to 4 emenies at once

Fan Shot is your special-o-choice once you get it. Helps the grind a lot. After Master, your tactics will vary based on opponent, equipment, and situation.
