Who would win? I going for master of both but realy who would win? (Rifleman attack mind and Pistoleer attacks health)

Don't bother mastering pistoleer.

Who would win should be dependent on whether they are fighting close to one another or far apart. Right now, I think a Rifleman would win because you can't heal Mind on the field: you need an Entertainer and some time. That and I'm told Pistoleers hit random pools even with many Specials, while Rifleman concentrate on Mind (which many combat-heavy characters don't have much of).

But really, it depends on what you want to do: running battles with targets nearby or picking off someone at a distance with a sniper shot. Neither should be straight-up better, but better only in excelling in what it is they are designed for, and that's two different styles of combat.

From a distance- Rifleman

Close up- Pistoleer

That's what the classes were designed for, right?

Master Rifleman, hands down.

Master Rifleman absolutely owns a Master Pistoleer at all ranges now that you don't have your bug shot (disarm2).

Pistol whip + stopping shot = pain.

For what it's worth, I ran into a rifleman/CH/squad leader today. He had a pet out. I didn't. I won.

riflemen wins everytime. all it takes is one landed mindbleed and you are incapped NO MATTER what. riflemen are a sure win . the game design has assured that. i think i will repeat this. the only way i can think of that a rifleman looses in pvp is that they miss every mindbleed shot or (and this is new) they get 1 shot killed by a heavy wpn.

Yea, plus pistoleers suck so the rifleman has that going for him as well.
