Ya kneecap only snares to the movement hindarance we have for holding a rifle. I believe carbiners snares are atleast double the strengh and if not more

I have just enough skillpoints to get either pistoleers stopping shot or the carbineers crippling shot to compliment my Mdoc/Mrifles template. Which would serve grouphunting better?
Thank you.

Carbineer's Impr.Crippling Shot is the best Snare in the game. Rifleman's Impr.Knee-Cap Shot is actually quite insulting. It doesn't do anything noticeable. Also, there isn't a long cooldown timer for Crippling Shot, unlike a Root attack like Pistoleer's Stopping Shots.
Roots can only be used once (success or failure) in so long, but it keeps the target in one place.
Snares slow the target down so you can maintain distance or seperate from the target. The cooldown is fast so you can readily apply another Snare when the old one is ready to wear off.
In general, if you have groupies who insist on shooting with their opponent punching them in the face, then I suggest a Root. They have no hope, so a Root is more useful to their mentality.

If your a non-Doc I agree, snare is more useful. It really helps you kite and you really need to kite without healing, but since dude is a doc, root is more helpful because it keeps people stuck in one place where they cannot attempt to break LOS.

Thank you for the hints. During the weekend I went and got the stopping shot from pistoleer-tree. Going to try it out tonight. Wish me luck
