Just trying to find out based on what you use, which one is better in terms of raw damage?



Headed to World of Warcraft

Provided that you've got the pistol speed... I'd say Last Ditch.

I am a Master Smuggler/Master Pistoleer and have tested out the different abilities numerous times. I've found that for me Last Ditch is my best shot. I constantly hit for 1-2k per shot with LD versus 7-1200 with Fan Shot and Stopping shot. So atleast for me its better. But test it out, it may be different for you. who knows.

  • Stopping Shot = 5x Damage Modifier

  • Last Ditch = 6x Damage Modifier, % chance to Stun

I can't find the numbers on speed, but having both I rarely choose SS over LD.

They both have the same delay (4x). If you have both, you get a better bang for the buck with Last Ditch.

You can't go wrong with the good ol' /Lowblow; /Lastditch combo...


Using my wimpy pre-nerf Krayt FWG, I have regularly seen numbers over 5k floating over the heads of Torturs...

Use the DPS calculator here to see if Last ditch is better for you...put in your weapon attributes and your pistol speed mod and ready to go...works for all other weapon types also...great dps calc...

I hit a Black Sun Assasin the other night for 6400 damage. I'd have to say Last Ditch without a doubt. Plus at least it works. Stopping shot stops nothing.

They both have the same speed (4x delay) and Stopping shot does 5x damage and Last Ditch does 6x plus stun chance (never works for me)

they are about equal. Last Ditch is a little bit more powerful, and can stick "Stun" effect.
