Pistoleer Archive

havnt heard anyone talk about this move, and im getting ready to buy a tier two skill, just woundering how useful this is and what it does?

whats it combo well with?

thanks

can we be a bit more specific?

does it suck cuz you shoot pink bunnys from the gun?

Basically, for a small action cost, you can do a "double default" shot.

He's right, it isn't great, but it's better than just shooting...

Is this worth anything...what exactly does it do? I never seem to use since body shot seems to do good health bar dmg, but am I missing out by not using this one? The dmg does not seem to be anything special at all, and rarely seems to do much more than regular shots.

You're exactly right -- you are almost always better off using BodyShot2, for the reasons you said. DoubleTap spits out more damage than BodyShot2, but since only 55% of it hits the health bar, you actually kill enemies faster using BodyShot2.

The only times to use DoubleTap are 1) when you're in a big group and you don't care about how fast you kill the creature but instead just want to do the max damage possible so you can get more xp or 2) when you're facing an enemy that has an extremely low Action or Mind bar, since DoubleTap will sometimes hit one of those pools.

Yeah until you get fanshot, bodyshot2 is the one to use. Stopping shot takes to long to fire off, unless master. Double tap is only good like the other guy posted, if your in a group and just want xp. Once you get fanshot you'll then realize why you took up pistoleer.

Oh you are so right... had fanshot a week now, won't part with that one i a hurry.

But wait.... my holocron tells me to master music.

Thank god this is just a game............. isn't it?

I am 2-2-4-3 pistoleer so have stopping and fan shot. Can train Body shot 3 when I get back on today.

I noticed when I used fan shot out in the wild, I would get weird aggro. I could never figure out why those yellow(non aggro) cons are suddenly protectin my mission targets are pissed at me.

I finally reaized fan shot must be an AoE and I was hitting more than what I wanted to. I tend not to use it much for that reason anymore unless there is nothing else really around but my targets angaged with mine or group mates pets.

Yeah Fanshot can be a quick trip to the cloning center if you don't use it properly, but when you can get a 4 or 5 Mobs in a nice group on a pet it works like magic. It's like hitting every mob with stopping shot at the same time.

Fastgun

Doubletap is good because of its low ham cost and high speed.

Bodyshot2 is better for killing things efficiently, but doubletap is good for lair blasting.
