Thread: Help Profession to go with BH Rifleman or Pistol
hell, i have trouble keeping LOS at 50m with my carbines.
This is a really interesting point, I have been mpistols and mrifleman and found that both are good fun, mrifleman will give you more range and damage over pistols, you'll also have the ability to use cover, conceal shot and sniper shot which is nice. So rifles specialise in damage, pistols on the other hand is a control profession so you negatively affect the attack of the enemy while doing a some damage but not as much as rifleman.
Alternatively trymrifleman and get stopping shot in pistols x/x/x/3. Run a few hunting and faction missions to seewhat happensin pve. Then use respec to go mpistoleer and dabble in rifleman 3/x/x/x for head shot which is nice and any other skills that catch your eye, run similar missions as before to get some idea of what you prefer. I tried these combos and preferred mrifleman as the primary profession but that's only because I feel more comfortable at distance and with the extra damage capability. Try it and see how you go as it comes down to your opinion on what gives you most enjoyment. If you have the respecs try mcarbineer, you maybe surprised at how that turns out.
Why?

Ok, well if you read my post then you will see CM is the part I think is important. I don't care where you spend the last 4000 points, but I think rifle hits the hardest.

You pvp ranged. So you want to kite your opponent: (Keep him in your attack range but out of his)
Pistol range 35m
Rifle 65m
Need i say more?
Im a pistoleer thouCause its pimp!
fixed.
also kiting isnt the only way to go...personally i stand toe to toe against the jedi, screws their action and they run out of force faster. nothing like kding a jedi at half health and zero action. Best part about going toe to toe is jedi has nothing to whine about after you win...."wah you stayed in my range and let me hit you with my superior weapon the whole time, thats not fair or balanced"
EVERYONE THANKS for the info...
Now, canI respec too MCM and pistols xxx4 from Master Rifle? can you do partial branches? Thanks again...this is new to me.
I mainly do quest and missions...I just want to hold my own there...
However, you may be able to respec to what you want, I think my problem was that I had master marksman and it didn't provide enough 'elite' points.
