Thread: PVP advice
Welcome to the profession ![]()
A couple things: THe ham costs on Headshot3 don't really scale right compared to HS2. Unless you're musician buffed or on Muon gold (or other mind-buffing foods) stick to HS2 if you need your mind for anything more thana couple shots. HS2 is more cost-efficient, unless you're mind is buffed.
The other thing- at 2 0 0 0 rifleman, you're really not ready for pvp yet
most ppl agree that a Rifleman really has no business in pvp until master (unless you're grouping with a lot of players, but even then...)
The difference between 4444 and Master is night and day, and a +5 rifle speed tape on top of that really takes your skills to yet another level.
G'luck with the profession!
My PVP advice.
Master Sharpshooter First and then Join a good PVP guild.
As an unguiled person it's rough joining with any joe blow imp group with zero knowldge of eachother and zero tactics. Ya some pickup teams can do good if they have a good leader, but only a PVP guild with planning and knowledge of each other's capabilities can play in the elite PVP field.
Pistoleer has bodyshots and healthshots which target the, you guessed it, health pool.

CH is useless in PvP now... still good for PvE.
Pistoleer doesn't have a HAM pool to attack... they are fairly useless as a result. Check the Pistoleer forum for confirmation.
Artisan is pointless for PvP as you know.
In other words, at this point, you should either go Bounty Hunter Pistols with Pistoleer or surrender all of your skills and start over.

Poorest attacks in the game... the health pool is easily healed.
If I were you, I'd get rid of all my marksman abilities except pistols, then master pistoleer and supplement yourself with ch/medic abilities. You could also take your skill points out of artisan and put them into smuggler, a profession which complement pistoleer quite nicely.
However, the only way you'll "own" atPvPis to become a flavor of the month character, which is currently rifleman/tka with the rest of your points towards combat medic.
PVP advice:
If you see a
Rifleman, Pistoleer/Smuggler/TKA, Fencer, Brawler, or Swordsman........
you run....... you run your ass off!
