He use a x-3 with 50s aimedshot recharge and about 30% higher base dmg. Anyways 2700 avg sounds higher than I get with x-3 so I think that number is a bit exxagarated because I have a significant amount of crap shots too.
Regardless, if you pick a caterwaul you do not do much dmg at all between aimedshots, but if you ditch your non aimedshot damage this is the only way agents can do dmg without beeing on full aggro (or maybe 50% in mimic enf with rage).
I'll agree with you on this, its a bit annoying for agents that docs and NTs with ithaca has higher aimedshot skill than rifle wielding agents or similar skill with rifle in addition to their heals and nukes, and the biggest reason for that is the +300 from VE and ELLTS. We have suggested solutions to this but havent been heard. What this thread is gonna accomplish if anything is just a general AS nerf. Specials do much of the dmg in PvP now if specials are nerfed the nerf calls will move back to healing again and you just have a never ending cycle of nerfs.
If this trend continue, sometime in the middle of 2003 PvP in ao will just be ppl running around shooting and debuffing each other but only those without healing will ever die.
