Just something I noticed a while ago after reading about HAM targeting attacks targeting the bleed pool in build 7. I am pretty sure I read that healthshot will now target health pool and then continue to bleed it. No more random first hit. If the is true we will now have in the first tier an attack that does almost as much as overcharge1 and cost less HAM. With bleed it will be better than overcharge1. This will decimate critters when we use the usual tactic of bleed/bodyshot because healthshot2 does twice the damage in the same time. I am pretty sure it does more damage than bodyshot2 even (haven't got that skill yet...working up other trees atm).
Again, if this will be true, it will double our firepower right from the novice level and help grinding pistol much easier. The side effect is that bodyshot1,2 and 3 will become obsolete and worthless. Let me know if I am wrong.

lol yeah i noticed this also. probably will end up that healthshot2 will be more dps than bodyshot3. 
it's good news for us, just seems a little wacky to me.

You're not wrong. Lately I've noticed that Healthshot2 doing damage about equal to Bodyshot3. Once that targets only the health pool it will be a nice bonus for novice Pistoleers. However, like you said it will make the bodyshot attacks pretty useless. At least it will free up a button on my toolbar.

Yep. I think the new tactic will be to spam the bleed shot. Not for the bleed of course since that was nerfed to be almost uselessnes, but for the targeted ability and higher sustainable DPS than the other targeted attacks.
