Im a rifleman, and i find that the best way to deal with PvP is not to do it. It simple guys, dont fight if you know you cant win.

We keep on getting suckered into these battles being whiped out everytime. Luckily for me im CH master, unfortuantley for other riflemen they arnt. However, i notice that although most people i try to duel dont want to fight me with my pets out (obviously) but never even consider not using knockdown or dizzy attacks

So basically people want me (and im sure a few others) to do into battle at 50% of all that ive worked for while they fight me with all their skills and specials. If i dont agree they start their annoying little "reb/imp scum" statments not to mention the ones that like to say a few other tings that i really dont feel like repeating.

Anyhow thats off topic, the point im trying to get to is DONT DUEL, at least notuntil therifle class is fixed, OR you are trying to better understand the class itself.

two bad you're on tarq I would have to be deployed to attack you.

I was sitting in my house when a overt rebel comes running around, and kills an overt imp.. so i run outside and drop a rezz on him.. then the rebel starts to attack me.. so i run in my house and buff up while hes camping out there.. this was before i untrained rifle yesterday, but alas, he never knew i had one.. he asked me to dual him.. so i went out and devastated him after 3 hits with my LVA... he healed and ran.. kiting me.. so i pulled out my rifle and headshot him and he fell over and got a DB.. well he knew where my house was.. so he came back.. same scenerio, cept he never got close enough for me to use my polearm.. so after the DB that time, i notice he had a GSP behind him.. so i whip out the LVA and beat the snot out of it..he comes back yet again. (this happened 7 times) i beat him all 7 times, 4 times with the lva 3 times with rifle, and i pummeled his GSP 2 times, and his other 10k ham pet once..not a rancor.. but its just as big.. and its fuzzy.. i forget what it was..but the 10k ham pet.. he asked me to dual.. so i said sure.. after i was done whoopin it up on that beast.. (btw, i had 2k buff to every action and health stat) it manages to get a couple of head shots.. things where lookin pretty grim.. then i remember.. muon gold.. take some.. use a heal.. have no mind left.. and use equalize (Zab skill) and im back at full, drop another heal, and finish the beast off.. with about 1/4 of its health left.. the coward starts shooting at me...so i finish off his pet.. burst run and get him too.. he never came back... haha..

yes, im quite bored...

zab skill? explane please....

Zabrak get two racial skills. Vitalize and Equalize. Vitalize makes your regen mind faster, and Equalize makes your HAM pools average out.

They work 100% of the time as opposed to .001% of the time like the Wookiee skill.

wow, good buffs

i mean....it's got nothing to do with pike skills really..

Alas it does.. being a doctor, its the only pool i cannot heal.. at least now in an emergency, i can heal the mind pool once per hour

how can a rifle man win in a 1 vs 1 duel

Depends on who you are fighting. Keep in mind that rifle is a long-range weapon. If you are 1 on 1, you want to keep your distance and pop off a mindshot. If you can get off a few headshots also, it'll make your job easier. The rest is move fast and wait. Stims can't heal your mind, and the person WILL drop like a rock. It only takes time. Pistol, carbine, rifle, BH, and commando all have their roles. They also all have thier weaknesses too. The key to rifle is distance, you keep your distance and you keep your advantage (yes I know rifle is bugged, but it's gonna get fixed)

If you are in a PvP assault or defensive role, hang way back. /mindshot EVERYONE. Let the pistoleers and carbineers hold 'em while death (by your hand) drops them.

Just don't make the mistake of running up to someone and shooting. It's not your job and it will only get you killed. Hit and run might not seem like the bravest thing, but riflemen aren't a close combat class.

Strafe Shot 2 helps more than you know. I would love to discuss this further but im afraid that if some small chanch the DEV'sare toread it, we might get a nerf.

DethZiro Rebel/ Master Sharpshooter/ Master Marksman/ Novice CH

Get a good DLT20a. AP doesn't work in PvP anyway, so the AP0 won't hurt you. What you get is a weapon that can do some good quick damage, and has pretty good range. Not saying you'll win consistently, but I can definitely compete with my pistoleer friend like this.

So with the upcoming eyeshot nerf do you think this will make the MBH the strongest in pvp as opposed to a hybrid char?

What makes fencer better than pistoleer?

They're the same points, same basic attack types.. And the damage seems to be close.

Just wondering.
