The difference between master rifleman and anything less than that is pretty astounding. However, enjoy that speed while you can. I think there are going to be a lot of disappointed riflemen post-CURB. Not me, though. Leastways, not if I can switch to wielding a pair of krayted DE-10's. Folks'll think the Saint of Killers just rolled into town.

Of the 24 professions I've mastered, ranger/rifleman was my favorite combo.

Thx, Xin

Given the rifle's advantages, I think adding a knockdown shot would have been some serious overkill.

Thanks for the hunt the other day with me by the way it was fun. Have to do it again sometime.

If you need anything as far as attachments or such I have some extra to help you speed cap. Just shoot me a tell in game.

Later :-)

Pistol Melee Defense 1 and 2(in the Stances line) is a melee range KD.

OKay, first off wth does QFE mean? I will only ask it here since this is the only forum I wont get bashed over my ignorance.. .lol

First combat profession I ever mastered was Rifleman. Boy was it sweet too. My mind just couldnt keep up. I always felt good about carrying my rifle around. Now that I am TKM I just cant stand standing there with my knuckler showing when not in combat. Makes me feel all FOTMish. So, I unequip it and never ever wear my TKM tag.

I do miss Rifleman tho... and more I miss Ranger. I had to drop Ranger for other pursuits now that I am entering the final stretch towards Jedi. I can hardly wait to open my alt up so I can return to Ranger Rifleman! Woot

Headshot 3 or Strafeshot 2. Nuff said on lack of KD.


Rifleman was my first combat profession mastered. Draknev was the first to hear me state my regrets for dropping it for a melee profession. I have sinced rectified this and am now 4-0-2-4 rifleman. The funny thing is how much faster I can get through the skill boxes now that we have buffs, and things like armor, and foods that aid in combat. I have screenies of Drak and I going through our combat professions not long after launch in nothing but a pair of camos and spec ops duster.


And yes I walked uphill both ways on the way to do it!!

Ha! Mission complete.

No, really, good luck. Rifle takes a much different style of play than you are probably used to, but it's worth it.
