been having a problem with the AOE effects of strafe 2 lately
I haven't been having any!!
I checked the combat log and sure enough it is registering that I am doing damage to mutiple targets, but the only one showing any damage is my primary target. It also seems to be a lot weaker than it was last week (guess the mini bpublish removing the Kryate dragon invasion was when i noticed this.
is this a bug or am I not understanding how it works.
Yes all the targets are aggroeing me,
I use various rifles depending on the situation so it isn't a rifle issue.
can anyone help?

i personally have not noticed a difference in pvp or pve, i still kill stormtroopers squads at a time. same with pvp. i've been incapping people 2-4 at a time. i guess people haven't learned to spread apart when fighting rifleman.i personally love flurry shot 2, followed by supression fire, then either head shot 3 spamming or strafe 2. hasn't let me down yet.

I've noticed that from time to time myself. It does indeed say that I hit X target (not the main one I am targeting), but the damage doesn't register. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't, but regardless of if the mob takes the damage or not, it does say that I did hit the mob. It seems completely random, but its kinda annoying when you are circling a group of mobs while spamming strafe2 and only the main target is taking damage. :\

They need to be in line from you or in a tight group... otherwise it don't work.

I had a similar problem when I first started using the AOE shots. In my case, the issue was with how SWG handles AOE attacks.
As far as I've seen, ranged AOE attacks only damage the enemy you target and any enemies that are currently in 'combat' mode. The combat spam will show up for the other targets in the AOE, but none of them will take damage or enter combat with you.
Hope that helps..

The only time I do not notice damage on other targets within the AOE zone is when I first start shooting. After they aggro on me, they all seem to start taking damage including dropping before my primary target at times. But that is the way it is supposed to work, and I have not noticed any difference lately.
