Here is what you need to do, ask yourself these questions:


Why do I want to master a range profession?


Is it to increase dmg? Go with Rifleman or Carbineer


Is it to increase state effects? Go with Carbineer


Is it to increase defenses? Go with Pistoleer


In PvP, rifleman is only a good tool when you are using the rifle, it offerslittle to the fencer while the sword is equiped. This is where pistoleer is really the best choice. Pistoleer has great close range specials, they give many differnt damage types, and all the pistol defenses work with fencer (stun, knockdown, posture change, dizzy, dodge, etc.). Pistoleers and Fecners have the BEST defenses in game but come at a sacrifice of dmg. But since they can outlast other professions (by avoidance of being hit) they do have an opportunity to win every battle. I did the master pistoleer and fencer for months and loved it, I gave up fencer recently to explore new realms of professions that I never really explored before, but I can tell you I did very well with that combo adn enjoyed every minute of it. As an alternative to range, ranger, creature hadnler, doctor and combat doctor are all great professions to use as well.

rifleman or pistoleer.


for dmg but very few defenses go rifleman.


for some great defense boost go with pistoleer.

pistoleer works better because of the extreme bonuses you get to state effects and dodge.


you get about +40 to dizzy, knockdown, blind, and stun i think


then you get +60 more dodge

choosing a ranged profession to go along with fencer isn't as bad idea as most may think. number 1 it makes sure you never ever get kited again, and number 2 it gives you ranged mitigation 3 which really helps.
sure most ranged professions wont give you as good defense bonuses as if you master TK along with fencer but having ranged mitigation 3 will help you more then 30 more ranged defense so that is a very good point.

as in choosing which ranged profession to go with, I would choose riflemen because of stun dmg and mind shots.. pistoleer you are also available stun dmg but unless you are a BH, which you wont be if you want to keep fencer, you won't get any mind shots.

Personally I am going Rifle/Fencer/TK 4-0-0-0. Caps both melee and ranged defense and gives me Meditate 4 to get rid of wounds.

Because I mostly PVE this was my planned build (Exept some medic and novice scout in the place of TK for the time being for meaty reasons). Plenty of damage and AP types to choose from on rifle + the ability to tank if needed. Also seems to be an effective choice for PVP as well. From any angle U look at it there are gonna be times U say to yourself "Man!!! I shoulda' picked _____!!!"


U fill in the blank.
