General explanation:
You win extra time, to take out 2 extra salvo shots, and pindown + Bleeding puncture, before target player/mob gets to you.
How does this work?
I'm doing my best to explain this the best way possible:
If you miss your two first shots of Salvo (you aim in the other direction on hit, and on the UL attack), the third (and last) hit of your salvo you aim at your target.
This will cause the game to fire off Salvo, the three shots fire as normal without any problem. Full damage etc. The weird thing i found out, is that monsters don't come towards you on the first 2 shots, meaning they don't really cause damage or agro. Only the third attack does.
This might sound like a lame bug, but theres more to it..
What if your in PvP?
Attack a player as normal, fight him as normal, but the moment you trap him down the fun starts. Miss your first Salvo shots and hit your last. You'll notice that he stays trapped the entire time untill the last salvo shot hits, and he gets set free. This enables the Ranger to pin him down and get an Bleeding Puncture (example) off even before the sucker gets to you!
Winning you allot of DPS without getting hit!!!!
Hope this isn't too bad as my first AoC exploit. Hope it helps anyone or has a good lead to something bigger
