The best attack is the sniper shot doing over 2k damege it would be the intial strike before you pull out your plasma *which i still think would be cool if it had a backpack attached to it* it has modifed all of my commando weapons up to 2k damege and the explosive sniper rifle 2.5k or more =]

It unfortunately has a fairly long delay.
With Improved legshot, I can dish out 1854 dmg every 3.6 seconds with my Proton Rifle and around 1754 dmg every 2-3 seconds. So, although some rifle attacks are more powerful...they also take as long. In some cases, we would actually out damage them -- BUT -- riflemen have the advantage of doing front-loaded damage, something we're very familar with...but also have comparable DPS to boot.
It depends a lot on your playstyle...do you want front-loaded, or more attacks with lesser damage?

thats why its just a good attack to start out as and then i move to my carbin specials with my plasma.
Very effective toke down a whole Storm Trooper garrison 
my play style is take alot of damege and hit very hard. im also an acceptional hit and run but i like to deal out massive damege

This is something I was kicking around mentally tonight at work , specifically trying Rifleman specials to initiate combat and then experimenting for the best follow up specials from other professions. Unfortunately, it will be Saturday before I can really put some time into getting hard numbers. I'd be extremely interested in what other people are experiencing in regards to this. Besides, it follows real life military doctrine, I.E. Always hit them with your most damage producing weapon first then pour fire into the smoking hole at maximum speed. If it pans out that this is a viable approach, I'll be a happy guy.

Last night I hit for over 2K damage using advanced critical shot and my proton rifle. Not to mention BH has lots of other cool attacks to follow up with too. Another cool thing I saw was I used advanced critcal shot with my plasma on a mob of voritors and three of them had the +CRITICAL+ flash above their heads. Unfortuantly I did not check to see what the damages of the nearby ones were but the one I targeted hit for over 2K damage too.

It is invisable. Look at your combat log, it is hitting really hard. The need to fix the animations for it.
You also might need to get a new one from the frog.

Meh. Plasma Flamethrowers, Proton Rifles...
I use my sliced and puped Lightning Beam Cannon, at 557.04 DPS, slightly lower than that of my proton rifle. However, it comes with the really wide AOE and dot.
And I agree with Starnick, Improved Leg Shot is the way to go, pretty high damage, average recharge time.

Hey you feel like slicing and puping a few of my weapons. I do have to say the lightning beam cannon is by far my favorite weapon. Followed by the proton rifle and then the plasma. I can't wait to see what the shots will look like from the proton rifle. It should be different from the proton carbine since the proton carbine has a cold element damage.

There are PuPs in the guildhall, get the speed/accuracy ones. I can start slicing stuff as soon as I get a good supplier of weapon/armor upgrade kits.

as a master commando master smuggler pistoleer 4404 i find the best attack would be for a one on one duel: last ditch with a rocket. as for general pvp you have alot of options. i tend to not like heavy weapons as much as pistols, but they are very usefull. favorite pvp combo is spam stoping or concussive shot with a plasma flame, then switch to the dl 44 xt and mess around. and when health gets a little to low, feign death, watch the dots run there course, stand, repeate.

Have you tried deletling the one in your inventory and getting a new one from the frog after they did the supposed fix? I did and it worked, but no animations or sounds.
