Thread: tactics against riflemen...
They can out-damage me, out-distance me, and out-heal me....lol. Sometimes I wonder why they even bother putting the rifle down. I last longer against a full templated jedi than I do against a jedi rifleman.

I usually run in guns blazing. Against a normal jedi I try to take them down as fast as possible before they know what's happening. Starting with a crippling shot to make sure they don't run far, then a couple high powered shots to chip some of their health down, followed by an underhand shot. Depending on the target, I throw in a poison and a fire. Usually after repeating that a couple of times a normal target is toast.
Since the cu I haven't used any macros when hunting...I figured they'd be hard to manage without a combat queu. I messed around with a healing macro for tougher targets but it seemed to get in the way. I've been on several hundred hunts and killed about 145 jedi. These damn riflemen are just a pain in my arse.
as a mcm, you are not using your full potential. its not about dots anymore.

If worse comes to worse, drop the MC, get MRM, and one or both of the ranged arms. Then drill him from outside his range. They dont exactly like that.
First you might get a shot in maybe two before they close the distance on you. I went up against one of these guys the other day. I watched as he solo'ed a krayt. He litterally healed faster than the thing hurt him. I figured since I could tell he was doing it afk I would help the Krayt a bit. Yeah after 4 minutes of me and the Krayt he got incaped. It was after this that he finally came back to the keyboard. I am Master rifles master BH and he toasted me in secconds when he got back to the keys. Using the same shots I was using and I thought that was funny in itself. On top of this the Krayt was still attacking him with me the entire time. I did not clone right away I watched him go prone and start back up with the Krayt as if I was never there. Personally I do not think you are gonna beat this template anytime soon. Damage of a rifleman faster and better heals than a doc. Better defence than a MBH/MR and that is no small task. He did not have improved infusion going so I am going to go on a limb and guess his template.

This with the FS skills will give:
Melee defence-290
Ranged defence-335
with the skills to heal and of course the master defender tree is a pain. Then they have the damage output like one of us. In other words a pure pain in the butt to kill. Even caught against a powerful enemy and AFK I still could not beat him.
