I fought him after sending Lo to see if he behaved differently. I pulled one guard away, and wasn't able to instakill the second one.

the guard had 27>HP>15

Shard had 30>HP>12 HP and used the shotgun blast technique

I'd completely forgotten about Ancient Resilience, which is even more attractive after the Str/Will hp update. I forgot to reequip my prototype coat after using the Third Eye shirt disguise, and still managed to kill all 3 opponents at once. :)

I wonder if it's possible to learn blurry quick shot if you have the lieutenant's shades and maybe a quick draw holster equipped? Perhaps if you're Etheric?

Vholes 10 Apr 2010 04:37

Or, uh, maybe that's just a message for quick shot when you have a quick draw holster equipped? Makes more sense to me.

The hunter also has the blurry quick shot - it's chain 4 though, not chain 6 for quick shot. (Should have checked which chain it was to begin with.) Back when I noticed it on the hunter, I played around with a quick draw holster for a while trying to get it but with no luck. The shades is a good idea though, though not particularly ranged-themed.

I spent a fairly long time trying everything I could think of to get a special technique from a quick draw holster other than plain old ordinary Quick Shot. Trying Quick Shot with one equipped was the first thing I tried, along with trying it using a hunter sidearm, etc. That's what made me think of the shades, because it's an item I don't have and so couldn't test.
