ok for PistolMeleeDefense1: What should i expect the successrate to be when i first get it. will it ever go up? right now i was using it against squills and somtimes it would hit every time i used it, and othertimes i could spam it all i wanted, it would never KD.Depends on your accuracy, target's defences v KD, also if you KD'd in the last 30 secs he won't drop

also for PMD1: how badly does it hurt your weapon?No idea prolly same as any other special

also for PMD1: ok this might be a bug, or a lag error, or a glitch. w/e. When i use the special it seems like it doesn't always notify me correctly. when i clearly dont knock down the beasty it give me the "you attack failed to kncok...." message, and other tiems i can see the animation of the pistol whipping, and the beasty falling over --good. BUT other times i'll get no message, normal battle animation of pistolwhip, but NO visible KD. very confusedThink its just lag, if theres no "you fail to..." then the KD worked

for stopping shot: where does this rank in comparison to Health SHot 2? i dind't really notice much better damage, and it seemed alot more inaccurate. cound't really decide weather it was faster/slower Stopping shot has higher damage X5? multiplier but longer delay

for double tap: where does this rank compared with Health Shot 2? it seemd alot less powered but (maybe) faster, again i coudln't decide. and i didn't notice any states or ne thing cool like bleed with HS2 Only used it a couple of times when I first grinded pistols, not really much use apart from lairs apparently. Healthshot2/Fanshot/Stoppingshot are the only working ones I really use from pistoleer

thats all for now

thx in advance for replies

In my experience PMD-1 works fine. I use it together with HealthShot 2 as my standard tactic against single targets. Usualy it works on most Mobs (some have higher KD resistance). If the target goes down it will take sometime til it works again.

Sometimes animations of actions are not shown, especially in laggy environments - so if u dont see the target go down after a PMD-1 attack and u dont get a failure message check the combat log. if its just a grafical lag prob u should get the doubled damage on your next attacks.

StoppingShot usualy does more damage then HealthShot 2 - but it will randomly select the targeted HAM bar. I usualy use StoppingShot for lairs or for critters that can be taken out be a single shot.

i didnt use DoubleTap since the time i learned StoppingShot.

So for me HealthShot2 + PMD-1 works best against single targets. FanShot is best against multiple targets (be very careful if u use it in dungeons like the Corvette, Geo Labs or the Warren - cone shot agro bug!).
