Thread: best pistoleer skill?
Dont listen to Efour,
Stopping Shot is good for single targets and Fan Shot is good for tightly bunched mobs.
All the rest are crap.
YA Fanshot is my skill of choice. Stoping shot is good but still a bit to slow I tend to use double tap instead and good eol body shots to finish things of. I curently stand 1 3 4 3 so I have not tried disarm 2 yet. My two cents.

FYI, there are times when you DON'T want to use Fanshot. If you want to kill that Flesh Eating Nuna, but not aggro the four Tusken Captains behind it, don't use Fanshot. So, it's hard to say it's the "best". It's the best for certain circumstances, and my personal favorite special, but there are times (like in Dungeons) when it is suicide to use it.
All of our unbroken specials are useful, in various situations. Not often mentioned, but Health Shot Two is probably our most damaging special (especially stacked with HS1).
"Stopping Shot is good for single targets and Fan Shot is good for tightly bunched mobs."
There has to be more to it than this. What other skills do I need to make Stopping Shot actually stop something? I call it "Mildly Inconveniencing Shot."
I am not talking about missing with the shot, I am talking about hitting something with Stopping Shot and having the mob just keep coming.
personally, I didnt find that Fan shot was too great, I found that emeies dropped faster if i used stopping shot on each one until they died,
(disclaimer- I'm not much into PVP so my opinions are not based on PVP experience)
Health shot 1 stacked onto heath shot 2 followed by body shot 3 is fairly effective in draining the health pool. Stoping shot and fan shot are cool but they aren't anything you want to spam. I like roll shot because it's cool to look at but as for the others, I have yet to determine their usefulness. I'm sure they serve a purpose, I just don't know what it is.
