I’m a new player (Lvl 15) whose proceeding down the Gunman tree. I had some general questions and perhaps a specific question or two as well. For the record this is mostly for the purposes of general knowledge building and my searches through the forums have left me unsatisfied with regards to these questions (perhaps my patience for searching is not long enough to find what I need).
1-What is the exact usage of the Sharpshooter ability? I can’t discern whether it negates a penalty for shooting into an IL that you aren’t engaged in or if there is a general penalty for using guns in IL and sharpshooter negates that. My inclination is that explanation 1 is the correct one which then makes it not relevant for me but I could be wrong…
2-How often do you switch combat styles during IL? Or do you at all may be a better question? I find that I can finish missions on hard so it isn’t a question of survival but efficiency? I tend to begin fights with a few rounds of Grab and then switch to Speed b/c I still depend on Head Butt…and I almost never use Power (I don’t even have Block on my bar). Is this particularly efficient?
3- Speaking of Head Butt…Does anyone continue to use it at this point? As a gunman, the truth is the only reason I use Speed is for Head Butt, but I’m thinking that it may just be a waste of the memory that I could use for consistent techniques and/or adren. Boost. I use Grab for its Def boost but perhaps I’m being too concerned with Def. I realize that +15% Acc boost using Speed is a serious buff but the Grab Def boost and its small Acc boost (5%) seems sufficient to almost disregard Speed especially since I don’t see any Dazed-based specials on the horizon.
