Thread: Pistoleer + BH vs. Rifle + BH?
I'm a Master Pistoleer/BH 2,0,4,0 and I take out Master Rifleman fairly often. Granted I have a 39%stun Comp helmet and sometimes use a PSG. But i still think this combo would be evenly matched if not better then Master Rifle. I get a different HAM specific specials (Eyeshot, TorsoShot), nice dodge mods, and can use any speed pistol and hit the cap. Granted, Rifleman can fire almost as fast and do a little more damage to the mind, but if you get close then their accuracy drops significantly.
My usual PvP start is Eyeshot to get the blind in, Torso to start the firedot (not as useful as before, but as above poster states it still causes panic) then use Stopping shot and after a couple of those, i can see which ham bar is depleted (Health or Mind) and then target those specifically. Usually Stopping hits Health at least 2/3 of the time and does very nice damage.

yeah i know what your saying, but the speed cap is 100 so you can have 74 from pistol and 100 in attachemnts, the accuracy is the only thing that will help.
Sorry, I'm not 100% certain I am understanding this. Are you saying 74 from pistol + 100 from attachments for a total of +174 to speed? Or are you saying 74 from pistol + 26 (difference of 100 and 74) from attachments = 100 which is the cap?
You get 74 pistol speed at master pistoleer, the cap for pistol speed 100 so you can get to 99 with 25 points of pistol speed attachmensts and master pistoleer. So any speed that could be gotten through bh would be pointless if you had the attachments and master pistoleer already. The accuracy would be better but really i don't ever miss anyway, i used to miss defense stackers at 64m with my republic before they changed it but since then i don't ever notice myself miss anything. As long as you have the right guns and frequently switch to the situation you will be fine. Republic blaster for 64m, dx2/sonic blaster for 15m or closer depending on the armour situation. I use the dx2 and sonic even further away then ideal and don't miss so its not really a problem, but i'm speaking for myself and i have alot of attachemnts.

Master Scout
Master Pistoleer
BH 0/0/4/0
Rifleman 1/0/0/0
This is great for both PvP and PvE. Youa sk why the rifleman 1 in sniping. This is why in PvP he starts off with a t21 using mindshot2 this sticks a bleed on their mind pool for about 300 points a tick or so. Then he does torso shot 9people still freak out when they ge a fire dot don't know why) then spams eyeshot.
In my opinon you don't need anymedic skills at all. I don't know anyone who doesn't hunt or do PvP without buffs and with buffs you really don't need any medic skills.
Your friend is wasting points on that 1/0/0/0 rifle.
Mind bleed or not, the accuracy at that level is horrible. Especially in PVP where defenses are much higher than you'd find in teh wild.
Easy to outgenerate a 300 bleed too.
