Elenora

Going to have to disagree with you.

1. You haven't fought a rifleman yet with a decent rifle. Poor weaponcrafters are having a rough time gaining levels. I finally got a 110 - 196 rifle today that hits for 600 a pop and has a 5.8 Speed. I hate to say it, but even with equilibrium, i'm gonna get ya Add Mind Shot 2 ontop of that say bye bye hehe. Least we are on the same side hehe.

2. To make a Rifleman/Combat Medic work you need good to excellent mind regen. Rodians are out. I tried that and deleted after reaching rifle spec. I'm using a Zabarak now and its workin out great. With Ubese armor my willpower is still 599 which is plenty to use both rifle spec and medic spec. It's really on setting up your character for the role you want to play. I'm not a main healer such as Elenora is, I see my self as damage dealer / back up healer when crap hits the fan.

When solo, I ll use mind shot / head shot till death combo and when with pistol friends ill just use normal shots or overpower. If it gets bad, ill just drop out of combat and heal my buds but with me hammering things die alot faster.

Any ways just letting everyone know, that it's working for myself and its fun.

Hehe but you forgot that mind 2 bleed thats ticking away at up to 800 a tick. So as you chase me you die ) hehe.

Thats most definatly true but in real pvp ( not duels ) the rifleman/sniper is going to get the suprise attack on you. So most of the time the dot can be used to compliment the upcoming damage. People think they are going to see the rifleman coming but they won't if he/she is doing what the spec allows you to do. Add Combat Medic on top of that the rifleman becomes a real mean sob imo.

Most people on this post keep thinking that people are adding rifleman to combat medic. Its not that way in my eyes which is why it works for me. Honestly though I don't know if I'll be able to use the full potential of combat medic but time will tell on that.

ur dots and diseases and stims will never have the range of ur rifle...

so im kind of lost on the point of being a CM and a sniper...

Doctor and sniper, you can heal urself with major stims and buff urself yadda yadda...

Cm and sniper? i begin to fail to see the meaning...

how would CM augement a sniper class?

edit..

besides the fact that u could drop a mediocre mind dot on top of ur bleed, but considering the damage u do with ur rifle, what would the added mind dot really accomplish...

mind shot, wait wait, headshot, kneel mind dot, prone, headshot, headshot, headshot?

considering the delay of the rifle and the fact that tossinga minddot would replace an attack by the rifle...i see you losing damage here not gaining...

Well combat medic gives you the distance heals. My friends have a bad habit of running away when I try to heal them hehe. So i figured with CM i can heal them on the run If theymade leashes for me to halt my friends so I would of went with a doc spec lol.

> I finally got a 110 - 196 rifle today that hits for 600 a pop and has a 5.8 Speed.

My toon is combat-oriented (only 700 mind) so I always use thrust spice in PvP before battle, with 1700 mind and 900 willpower you will need 3 shots (18 seconds) to kill me, Yet I can cover 64m in under 10sec - and with carabine I can bleed/supress you so you not going anywhere - dead rifleman, or I can run out of sight, wait a few seconds (heal bleeding) and come back.

This just goes to show that every "uber" attack has counter-strategy against it and is only "uber" untill said strategy is found.

However the disadvantages are just too many (mind drain on high-level rifle shots, range, prone as best poisture, slow weapons) to be medic-rifleman.

P.S. Of course good rifleman will team up with another rifleman and stand within 50 meters of each other - try combating THAT
