I've had Mind Shot I for quite sometime, and in no time flat I'll have Mind Shot II. My only question is, whats the point of this command? I've tried it a few times but havn't found it very useful, can anyone explain how it works? I only used it when I first got it, and havn't since, perhaps, with my now better skill, I can use it more effectivley.

Also, what about Supression Fire? I've never used that effectivley either, I'm under the impression that this command is bugged, does anyone have any information on this that they can give me?

It's fortougher creatures. It gives the target a "bleeding" status and will drain a certain amount from the mind pool every 8 seconds (I think it's 8). This is known as the DOT (dammage over time) attack for the rifleman.

On testing with a TKA buddy last night, supression fire worked quite well. It forces the taget into a lower posture. So if they are standing they kneel, and if they kneel they go prone. We tested it against stormtroopers last night and I found I had to spam the supression fire to get it to work.

Neat trick though - Get to your rifles ideal range, go prone and take cover. Your brawler buddy then rushes the target as you open up with mindshot for the bleed. Now the brawler does a dizzy attack on the target to throw him off balance. When you see the dizzy symbol next to the targets ham, spam the supression fire key. At some point (it depends on how well balanced the target is)he will fall plum on his backside and is easy meat. It helps to have the /examine window open in the corner so you can tell when he drops on his back. At this point switch to headshot and blow the hell out of him.

I havnt tried it yet, but would this work with just a rifle too? We have a dizzy attack of our own....flurry shot I think.
