What does this special attack do? I forget exactly what it is called, the power up shot or something. The one that says it utilizes the pistol power supply or energy source or something like that. Does this shot take from the pistols durability faster? Is it effective? I haven't used it, been using body shot 2 instead, because there is no power supply stat that I can see and it sounds like it is taking from the 1000 point durability. Does anyone know the answer? Is it worth using instead of body shot 2?

What pistol attack does the most damage over time used (I don't mean a DOT attack like health shot)?

it degrades your weapons condition really fast, and doesn't really do that much damage. don't use it unless you are just starting out and have no other specials. body shot and roll shot do better damage and won't degrade your weapon anywhere near as fast.

double tap is nice too, but it seems to hit random pools instead of just body.

Overcharge shots, which are the ones that degrade the weapon, really are useful only for low level people still using CDEF's.

Roll shot, along with Kipup and Dive, all do random damage. I actually used Kipup shot quite a lot. For a long period of time, it was my best damage dealer, and strangely, I could spam it even when I was standing up the entire time or running around. Bodyshot2 is and will be for a while your most useful attack, though.

From my experience, the best damage over time is Fan Shot, but you need to get Stances IV before you get that skill.
