Will I miss Executioner's Shot?

Not as much as you'd miss executioner's strike.

That chain will work fine once, but it's not repeatable since PR has such a long recharge. The best you'd be able to do is Pistols -> DW -> Pistols -> PR -> Pistols -> DW -> Pistols -> (Empty Clips / Bullet Rain / something from Mental). That will hurt your DPS a bit on tough single targets like EBs but it's no big deal unless you plan to run on +4/x1 or something.

Flares, Scorch, Fire Ball and Fire Breath are pure Fire attacks. Fire Sword has a Lethal component, and their fire punch may or may not have a Smashing component. But at least half of their attacks will completely ignore S/L defense, and it's more like 2/3 on the bosses.

fireball has a little bit of smash. Or at least the player version does.

It does, but it's not flagged as smashing, only fire.

Okay, so I got my neato list going, but I can't seem to get the HTML to behave. Anyone know why, when I post a converted Excel sheet to HTML, that I have a mile and a half of blank space before the actual excel part?

Thanks Stryker, that looks good enough for what I plan to be doing and "something from Mental" will probably be Mind Probe as I play like a Blapper most of the time anyway. And thanks for the info on the demons guys, appreciate it.

I don't think I could stand the constant redraw myself (that DP draw animation is long) but if you can then you'll probably get along fine without Executioner's. The main reason to take it is to ensure a good redraw free all-ranged attack chain, but if you are actually using your secondary a lot that won't matter.

Well I'll probably be throwing Bullet Rain in now I think about it, Mind Probe only when my recharge has been floored
