Fellow rifleman i am a rifleman/doc and need help pvping i always gotkilled, i need help badly.

Whichgun should i use?

Depends on the armor of the opponent. Usually you want to start with a good jawa ion cannon, but if you notice it's not doing much damage then switch to a T-21, unless you are having trouble hitting them then switch to a high-accuracy DRX(? the acid one)


What food should i take?

Different people take different foods . If you get mind buffs from dancers and musicians (which you should do before pvp'ing) then you should probably drink some brandy, maybe eat some of the damage reduction food or the kd defense food. There's plenty of defense foods out there to try out, others might know more on this than me.


What attack should i?

Again, depends on the situation. If you are fighting a defense stacker than you should use flushing shot to land a stun, use a high-accuracy weapon for this. It's usually a good idea to land a dizzy as well, especially against melee. If they have a small mind bar then hit them with headshots.


Why do i walways get KD/Dizzy?

Rifle has poor kd defense. You can try taking some Thaitkillo(sp?) for kd defense or make a macro that will heal the dizzy state, because that will be your only problem with kd. I'm sure there's macros on the Dr. board to help you with that.


If you could answer these question and give me some additional advice it would be greatly appriciated




Here's my additional advice. There's about 5 posts a day asking similar question on the rifleman board. Feel free to read one of them for more answers.

I dunno what it is, maybe i am to close but i seem to miss alot, and i mean ALOT. granted i tend to fight at melee range. is that my problem? i stay about 10m away. i guess i should immediately head further away? its not even melee ppl i am haing trouble with it is geo weilding BH/pistoleer/dirty fighters. pistol spammers. i was one a few weeks ago and i know it is a great flexible template. anyway. help would be nice..


typical fight..


i use mindshot 2 til i see a bleed pop on them. then HS3 or strafe 2 depending, usually headshot 3 and go to work with my jawa. maybe i should switch to a t21? i have 96 speed and am not a master marksman, i know i need one more speed point something fierce for my better T21's. anyway, thanks in advance.

Defense stackers are hard to hit, especially with the negative range mods you face when you're as close as you are fighting. Using ideal range mod pwps, a high range mod gun such as a typical dxr6, eating citros snow cake, and using deadeye serumall will help your accuracy a ton. My goal at the beginning of any PVP encounter where I'm singling 1 opponent out is to get a flushingshot (stun) to stick. Defenses are drastically reduced by a stun so that you can pretty much hit with any weapon from any distance and not miss. After you've stuck your stun, switch to whatever damage weapon you prefer, hit the mind bleed/dots/whatever and then headshot3 while kiting to stay out of their ideal range. My $.02

Was he using a sonic blaster? and were you wearing stun armor?


Some armor has hig kinetic resist and/or special protection against kinetic

Since you are swordsman/TKM get the dizzy/kd with your vk's then pull out you higest damage PH and go to town with headhit 3


eat some accuracy food first though

You were using CoB and Intimidate macros right? What kind of foods were you using?

Hi all, TKM/Master Swords here. I am starting to enjoy pvp but need some pointers. I have won my first few duels just killing the opponents mind with my PH, but last night I thought I would try TKM (I was actually overt going against reb overt). I was fully doc/mind buffed, had a mini suit of 70% base resist, a psg, and standard VK (no pup). I started thebattle with a few mind shots, barely did any damage. Scrolling through my combat log I see that he was using stopping shot, not sure if that is a mind hit but he was tearing my mind up (got me to about 50% mind). I then dizzy/kd him, oh what a wonderful feeling seeing him flop on the ground! I pounded about 10-15 shots on him (applied states and did mind hits)before he got up, but I only got him to about 50% of his mind. He then took out the rest of my mind and DB. The summary of this is that it seems like his few shots he got on me did a crapload more damage than the multitude of shots I got on him. Any thoughts/crtiticisms appreciated, thanks.

I spose my only defense against stun was the psg. I had just gotten off the shuttleport so not sure if my cob was running (prob not). Come to think of it, the majority of the damage he did to me was b4 I intimidated him. I took some brandy and canape real quick when the fight started.

Ok first of all get some Comp armor, it might cost more but it has better protections and if your overt your most likely going to get attacked by people that use more then kinetic, so get some comp armor, at least 65% base but 70% slcied up to 90% would be the best. Also make sure you are running a CoB macro and keep him intimadated stuned and if depending on what profession blinded as well (the one with high accuracy don't bother with the blind state but against swordsman and other low accuracy prof's keep them blinded) those states will make a huge difference. Also don't just spam the knockdown, do it every 20 sec, or there abouts. I'm not sure on what the best attack would be, but it would seem if unarmed hit 3 would be a good bet or combo hit 3. I'm not a TK but hope this helps.

Right now i've been using the Blade of dklsjfioajefioansfsadf (whatever the hell its called) my dps is around 540 with that. I'm a TKM, Master sword, Master fencer. My defenses with bio clothes are 358 melee and 293 ranged. I've been running into a prob though in PvP, I DON"T KNOW HOW! It seems whatever combos I throw out (KD, Armorbreak, Critical, stun, ect.... ) I get my butt kicked. Does anyone have some advice for me? different combos? certain spices? different weapons?

one on one you shouldnt be beaten by any one profession save jedi defender maybe, i have a few ideas for you to use,


get an improved CoB macro and run it constantly, if you dont have already i imagine you do


take vegersepine +100 Melee Defense


take Pica Thundercloud +95 ranged defense


Get some stim d's and some rubliel to increase stim use recovery so you can heal


take a spice of your choice, but i like pixie, booster blue, or muon gold, just depends what you need the most regeneration on, pixie will stunt your mind regen, booster your action regen, and muon gold your health regen,


you should be able to drink either vasarian brandy (precu crafted is better, if you can get it), or breath of heaven, or mandalorian wine, all of which will increase your regens and HAM maxes


there is one other food i take and im forgetting the name but it will increase your health by an additional 800+ it starts with a B, and im brain farting here, haha


also i take pikatte pie to increase my CoB avoidance to help you dodge hehe


take these buffs along with doctor buffs and pvp will help,



as far as fighting goes, if you get rooted keep CoB going and use stims when youre health is down at about half, otherwise you shouldnt take much damage at all, also get some armor or BE cloths to impove your melee/range defenses or just use TKM armor and get the BE cloths to get a good +60 melee/ranged defense

only spice you should use is booster, pixie and muson will wreck ur action and mind regen rates. The only problem with booster is health regen of while -20% health regen is really not that bad at all compared to -20% mind regen. If ur mind gets to 0 u cant attack and u cant heal. Other than that th advice the dude above me agve is pretty sound

BE clothes have no affect at the moment. +25 is still the cap on clothing for skill mods.
