Thread: Does mind shot 1-3 stack?
I dont think there is an MS3.
Here is the lowdown on MS1, MS2.
Mindshot 1 and 2 stack, as was previously said. This does NOT mean they add together.
Here is a sample sequence of events, based on an imaginary timer starting at zero (0) seconds:
0 seconds: You hit mob with MS2 for 999 damage. No damage istaken off of him yet.
7seconds: You hit mob with MS1 for 555 damage. No damage is taken off of him yet.
20 seconds:First bleed from your MS2 hits him, he loses 999 mind.
27 seconds: First bleed from your MS1 hits him, he loses 555 mind.
This repeats every 20seconds til death.
Also, here are some more things you MUST know about MS1, MS2:
-- If you do NOT hit the MOB with some other (different) rifle shot, you get NO rifle XP.
-- If the MOB bleeds to death more than 70-75m away, you get no XP.
-- If you get a LOW MS1 or MS2, you can shoot another one.
A higher value MS will override a lower value, but a lower value will NOT override a higher one!
My preferred sequence is this:
-- /aim,MS2 ...if it misses, aim and fire another one.
-- /aim, HS2 ...this is the "other" rifle shot that will get me the rifle XP. Fire again if miss.
-- /aim, MS1 ...If it misses (and the mob isnt charging you yet) fire again.
If you are unlucky and have more than one miss in that sequence, then at least you have a bleeding MOB with the "other" rifle shot. SO even if he reaches you and incaps you, you will get XP eventually (if he doesnt wander more than 70-75m away while you're lying there.)
