scouts can crit shot after slam while combat has started

crit shot is supposed to be for out of combat targets who are not moving
here is one of many examples of a scout in full combat, slamming and then doing 2 crit shots. Basically free kill on anyone

i hope this is a bug (even exploit to be honest with 2x critshot ) also scout is the only archer with access to slam to abuse this

ss1 is fight start
ss2 is when he gets his slam in
ss3 is double crit shot after slam for 1001 each.

wrong, check here: "Stunned targets may be critical shot once any timers from active combat have expired if they are not yet free to act; i.e.: they may not be critical shot until their weapon delay timer has run out after their last attack, they may be critical shot during the period between the weapon delay running out and the stun wearing off, and they may not be critical shot once they have begun swinging again. "

In short during stun they can be critshotted many times.

This is not a bug, it is intended and is one of the only ways Scouts can even try to compete vs Melee. It doesnt always mean crits hit either, I have had several shots miss.

Especially to the nerf to archer dmg all around today, scouts are the weakest melee class between the realms and needs the slam, which is why they have access to it.

Hunters have pets and 2h, Rangers have duel wield, Slam is the scouts "special" ability.

for the record, i made this post just before they announced archer nerfed damage, so maybe this is not as big of an issue

i also never said scout shouldnt have slam, the problem i have is being able to critshot twice after another, while - also gathered from the internet - should require you to be stealthed and/or should not be able to be done twice in succession. (15seconds of immunity i read somewhere)
Either this was done in a later version of the game, or should be in this version but is not working.

The immunity came way later. The way it's working here right now is correct except that you should not be a valid crit shot target while you are in swing delay (doesn't matter unless you are a 2h who got slammed right after swinging)
