Thread: rifleman/ranger question.
Well, I can give you my insight on being a Master Rifelman/Master Ranger.........it is what I do and what I have been for a long time.
In our new environment rifleman dish out pretty good damage with typical DPS ratings on our weapons in the middle somewhere....the carbnieers in my guild can shoot rings around me for the speed they carry. As Master Rifleman/Master Ranger you won't have enough pts left over for Master Marksman...which gives good ranged benefits/speed...so this hurtsa bit. But in general I love being a rifleman and I can hit for good damage....just not very quick about it. My top rifle with a pup does about 1,300 pts max damage, so nothing to sneeze at.....but you can sit and have coffee and a donut to watch my specials recycle so I can fire again! ha ha!
The added 65m range is nice with Rifleman....but typcially as a Ranger I am tossing traps...which can't hit from that far away...so thus my extra range is nerfed as I have to get below 50m to toss my traps. They should let us toss traps from further....we could just miss more often.
If your looking for great xp adding up with little to no work involved....most certainly go Ranger. You can mask scent on Dathomir, get on your bike and then zoom around Rancor Valley for TONS of xp.....maintain your mask scent and watch the xp roll in when your near upper level critters.
