Thread: Concussion shot..
Root and Daze *forget novice time i think its 15 secs* unless hit again(breaking on damage)
so
concussionshot is only good when facing more then 1 person or critter or npc.
target stray party
pop concussionshot
target primary...kill
target concussioned party...kill
rinse repeat
I will repeat.
It is not an area special. The only way to use it like that is with a Commando weapon. If you want concussion shot and have it do area as a novice, you NEED Novice Commando for the Launcher Pistol and Novice Smuggler for Concussion Shot.
The special itself is not area and will only affect the target it is aimed at UNLESS you have a weapon that does an area attack.
SO IF, you have said AOE weapon then the concussion shot would itself be aoe then? Or am I misunderstanding? I know you're probably frustrated by now, but I just want to make sure. So if I hit a group with save a launcher pistol with concussion shot, they would all be affected by the "effect" of it or just the damage/

With the concussion shot with any normal ranged wep, ie rifle carbine pistol, it is a single target attack.
Commando weapons have a built in AOE effect, so when you use concussion with it, it does aoe damage. However, it is still considered a single target special. the commando wep causes the AOE..... The state affects the area, so if you use say the launcer pistol, all targets in the AOE range will get concussed.
Hope this helps

Despite having 0300 for commando i find the launcher pistol the most effective crowd control weapon.
Man that gun sucks.......It is only good(in my opininon) to level up till you can get a better one. but at 0300, you don't have much of a choice. you can't use the PFT or the proton rifle, which both do decent damage.

I dont use it for damage it is purely for concussion shot or panic shot as an opener i took 0300 for the accuracy bonsus it gave me to supplement my current template which is master smuggler/master pistoleer, rifles 4000 and commando 0300.
I have to say i found the launcherpistol the only weapon which fitted in with my group roll but after the opener im back to using my trandoshan supressor pistol, and that does rock 
You just gave me a good answer
I will second that for its area, it isn't about the damage. It's spreading that mez love around.
Another great thing in Commando is xx1x. The rocket launcher, it KDs and applies the mez at once from 65m out. Wicked if you have rifle skill like I had 4xx4 with M Smuggler|M Commando. While they are nappin', advanced aim right to improved sniper shot, followed by things like imp head shot which will also benefit from advanced aim's plus 250acc.
