Thread: Stopping Shot vs last ditch

All smuggler specials are better than 99% of pistoleer specials (and I'm having a real hard time thinking what theother 1% could be). Take a look on the pistoleer forum to see the correspondant's sticky post on the state of the specials. Most of them are completely worthless.
I actually find both fan shot and stopping shot to be quite effective, stopping in a 1v1 situation and fan when theres more obviously...ill take a look at the sticky though, thanks
I used to argue that stopping shot was faster but everything I've seen points to it having the same delay. That being the case:
Stopping shot: 5x damage. Random HAM.
Last Ditch: 6x damage. Random HAM. 75% chance to stun.
LDA has better damage and a state attack. It would be my special of choice. And in response to Kalis, Fan Shot is one of the few working pistoleer specials. In the right situation, it is very effective. Fan Shot is faster than stopping shot and LDA so you can actually crank out some nice DPS with it.

You judge yourself.
