Bug #1: Fan Shot reportedly had some line of sight(LOS) issues. If the pistoleer was firing at a target, but there was an additional target behing a wall (and still within the cone), the pistoleer would get a "You cannot see that target" message.

TEST RESULTS: Recently fixed.

I lined up 2 players (very helpful individuals, though I'll keep them anonymous) in Theed. Player A was behind a wall but still within the cone, Player B in plain view. I /dueled them both and fired Fan Shot at player B. I hit player B repeatedly without trouble, and Player A was unscathed. No line of sight errors. This now works as intended.

Bug #2: Health Shot 2 has screwy bleeds when you fire it more than once. They fluctuate with each application of the bleed.

TEST RESULTS: Very screwy indeed.

I dueled a player on Test Center and fired Health Shot 2. After each shot, I would /peace and she told me how many wounds she had in Strength & Constitution. I would then fire again and we would repeat the process. The test began with 0 wounds in both stats. The numbers:

26-11 (initial hit maybe wounded both, though a normal attack sneaked in here)
26-59 (gained con wounds)
30-59 (gained str wounds)
30-52 (lost con wounds)
30-47 (lost con wounds)
60-48 (gained str & con wounds)
60-33 (lost con wounds)

Truth be told we tested it twice. These are the results of the 2nd test. The previous and less controlled one also reported that the Strength wounds never went down, only up (but this could be coincidence). Clearly, something very screwy is going on here. If you are curious, I was using an average post nerf FWG5.

I have reported the results from both tests to the development team. If you have anything to add on either, feel free to post about it here.
