Bane Shot or Venom Shot?

[cptnruthless]

I prefer the AIM Shot to either weapon, although it packs a slight amount of punch to add the specialty ammo.

Capt Squid - Is that using 3-4 (level 1? or Level 5?) Hex shot, then finish them off with the Lead shot? I wanted to make sure i understood that part.

Use 3 or 4 hex shots, however many it takes until the enemy has no voodoo left to hurt you with, then switch to basic lead shot and finish them off. You'll be able to tell when their voodoo is gone because you don't see anymore blue numbers coming off them.

I use one point in each of the ammo types to unlock them and get good results. (My other points are 5 in shoot, 3 take aim, 5 sharpshooter, 2 eagle eye)

3 Hex eaters on a gypsy seems to do the trick. Then switch to lead shot. Of course if this is the only thing you're fighting at the time, you're not taking any damage which means you regen health. It's better than a potion or spending 5 gp in the tavern for healing.

And if you have to turn away to deal with something else (like another gypsy or grenadier if you're on the beach at Padres) you can and still go back and finish the first one off. I have taken the vodoo off of 3 gypsies at a time and been able to kill them all off without needing more hex eater. Very helpful if you're helping someone else level... go around and neutralize the gypsies so they can get the points (and you still get some too).

The only thing to watch out for is to make sure you start with the right ammo. I can't how many times I tried to start the cycle with lead shot. Fortunately it is easily fixed even in grave shackles.
