Hex Shot: If it should be maxed and when should you max it?

[Walker De Plank]

I just hit level 10 Pistol and have all of my points saved up minus the one I threw into Take Aim. I'm wondering if it is worth it to max Hex Shot right away in order to drain those voodoo users I read were an easy way to gain weapon rep. Is Hex Shot worth it to max? Is it a great asset in both PvP and PvE? Does just 12 point in it suffice?

[Mr.LoveLocket]

i put 3 into hex it clears up alot of voodoo

[MacIronhawk]

Worth to max? No.
Rank three is the farthest I'd go.
I have only ever needed three hex shots to get of voodoo from one enemy. I'm guessing rank three means only one shot. So rank three is the farthest I'd go.

Ive got one point in HexShot, works fine. Mainly used to drain voodoo from the types that use it. (I do not PvP)

Same here.
Rank one and the most shots i've ever used on one enemy is three.

Yes definatly unlock it it helps alot when you get higher leveled with gypsy's and molusk and brinescums.

However no i would not put 5 points on it i have 2 points and i can take out all of a molusks voodoo in 3 to 5 shots.

[davy redflint]

only put 2 there seem to be enough

[JadeMcHawk]

I'm with everyone else, even two might be enough, I have three in it and have mastered pistol. Have looked at hex shot many times and thought " I put three in that why ?".

[Stormhawk]

Me too. I have one point in it and it works just fine taking voodoo out of enemys.

[Mr.LoveLocket]

I put 3 in my both accounts. When your a low level it helps alot

[Captain Seaford]

I don't think it is, mine is rank...2 and it works fine.

Most gypsies for my 15 pistol at 28 at equal level gypsies take 3. Level 24 and down take 2.

I'd do 5 for combat and combat only. 1 is always the worthy investment for leveling purposes, if you don't plan on using all other points elsewhere.

My hex eater is never above rank 1. I don't PvP (I've heard that rank 5 hex eater is essentially useless there, anyhow.) Rank 1 hex eater will clear out molusks in three shots most of the time.

[William Sailwrecker]

i also have one slot and would not recommend going above this.I clear pretty much every enemy's voodoo in two shots so after a 2-3 shot cycle i switch to venom and lead,venom and steel or venom or venom and silver if undead.As far as pvp is concerned the its not necessary once again to go above one slot cause their voodoo will be gone quite quick and also dont forget that voodoo recharges quickly so theyll be able to poke or swarm you again within 5-10 seconds.I'd recommend 1 slot only and invest in venom shot instead as well as steel shot or bane which seems to be a favorite pvp people.I actually dont use my hex shot in pvp and i also had planned on designing a 5 slot hex pistol until i realized the voodoo recharge rate of avatars was to quick to warrant 5 whole slots.My best weapon against doll users in pvp is simply a better doll.

I Bane them and run the other way. Get out of their range: then I throw daggers. Or so I plan.
