So I got panic shot 2 days ago and I shot something with and it always pops up with the message delay resisted or something to that extent. Does panic shot even work?

From what I hear it gets resisted fantasticly. So it doesn't work at all since the nerf.

I kicked a squall the day they broke panic shot.

From my experience, the "delay action" effect is resisted 100% of the time. So yes, that would qualify it as broken.

The cone attack seems to work fine though.

it was officially acknowledged as broken, and they are supposedly working on it. this post was on 9/9/03, so they are WAY overdue for followup on it.

I don't use this one a lot, and was getting the 'delay resisted' every time, and then I experimented on some low level mobs. It does work, and I noticed multiple hits going on when the message doesn't appear.

The level of the mob will definately effect the rate of success on this, and it's not a money shot, but it does work at some level. I save it for what it's named for--if I need to buy some space, I'll punch it as a last resort, it's gotten me time for a feign death several times. That said, I wouldn't rely on it!

How long is the delay on the other person? And is it also a knockdown?

No KD, delay 10 secs.

Works great withLow Blow though. Keeps them on the ground forsomewhere between 12 and 15secs.

The delay is 10 seconds and no it is not a a knockdown but it is a cone shot so you can delay multiple players or mobs. You can also agroo multiple mobs so one should becarefull when using it in PvE situations.

Ok, thank you for clearing that up for me.

That's such a fantastic idea! I didn't even think of that!

Thanks!

"The delay effect of panic shot will break on damage to the target."
