Thread: Best Rifle/Canon for PvP?
Now that Commandos and BHs weapon damage has been increased compared to Rifleman/T21 what is the best skill tree/weapon for rifle/cannon and why? More specifically, which Rifle/Canon is good for what in PvP? Also, which styles do u use in PvP and what is the minimum training you need to kick butt in PvP in that skill line. Please note I'm currently BH (0,0,2,0) and want to pick up a rifle/cannon for PvP (and ideally retain some medic skills). I believe the choices are:
Rifleman/T21, BH/LLC, Commando/Acid Rifle, Commando/Heavy Weapon Support (Particle Beam and Rocket Launcher)
Rightnow the only reason to use the HAR is when a target has high heat resist.
Using charged weapons against PC's is very costly, very innacurate, and not very effective.
Commando wise there are two choices in PvP: Launcher Pistol and Flamethrower. Grenades from time to time as well. Flamethrower has 2 types of specials, with a 9-15 second wait for it to decay from the combat queue. Need to get tier 3 in the Flamethrower line to hit with any consistency. (This is all listed in the commando guide stickied up top.)
T21 has AP 3, attacks the mind pool, and has a variety of special attacks.
LLC isn't all too accurate.
