Since Advanced Startle Shot got hit with the Nerf bat, I think we should get a different master level attack. Pistoleers get the same effect from this attack at 0200!!!!! Plus, the damage onit isn't even close to our improved head shot, which we get at 3000. So basically we get a master level attack that buys us a few seconds to heal? And can't be used for another 30(or is it 20) seconds? I think this is bogus.

I think we should get a root at master, and move the dazed effect to 0040.

What are your ideas for a new master level special?

A damage only shot with a higher DPS than ranged shot would be a nice start.

Even if the action cost was prohibitive for prolonged use, it would support our mission as Nuker.

Well, we already have advanced sniper shot at master. I think this fulfills the role of damage dealing while at the same time giving the feel of a rifleman 'sniper'.

I still thinkeither a root or a knockdown shot at masterwould be nice. Or maybe one that does both, does minimal damage,and can only be used once every three minutes or so.

Or how about one that hits with multiple states, like dizzy, stun andblind?

Now we are getting somewhere...

Tell you what. Find aDoc you can beat on for a bit,and shoot athim withAdv Sniper/ImpHead for a period of time. Then shoothim with Ranged/Placed for the same amount of time. Comparethe two attack pairs for damage over time, action use, and ease of use (ie. when are you going to want to lie down in combat and deal that much damage). Then get back to me about our damage dealing Master shot.

IMHO, Adv Sniper is good if you can sneek up on a PvP target without being caught and if you plan to be able tocripple him before he can react; ie. Underhand/Startle/Sniper/Crit/Head if your a BH, or if you want a one time high damage shot to finish off aplayer that's got one foot in the grave. Beyond that, it's been of no use to me. In PvE, If you use it as an opening shot, it's an absolute guarentee that whatever it is that your shooting is going to forget all about the player that was going totank for you, and make a bee line to start chewing on your butt. Mid combat in PvE or PvP, you would get better DPS and have lower action use using any other shots in our arsenal (without going prone).
