Thread: Does Conceal help with Rifleman?
I'm looking to see if Ranger benefits Rifleman in combat, does it? and can I hear how?
-Thanks
It sort of does. If you are using /concealshot against an aggressive npc/creature, there is a chance they will aggro you if/when they wander into their normal aggro range. If you are concealed, they won't see you even if they walk right up to you.
The other ranger usefulness to sharpshooters is in the increased crawl speed, since sharpshooters spend alot of time on their bellies (and an equal amount of time on their backs :/ hehe)
As a Ranger/Rifleman I'll tell you that I use Camo constantly while hunting solo. At first, my trick was to either kneel or go prone, then I could get 2 good /aim;/headshot3 volleys in before the critter attacked. Now with Camo I can go prone and get in at least 5-6 shots, killing 7-8k HAM critters without them attacking me.
The big tip is not to spam your shots, and have some Phenecine Darts ready. Sometimes with Camo and hunting large critters you'll see that they'll start to attack when you have about one hit left on them. Just stand up and throw the Phec trap, maybe backup some, then get that last hit or two in.
Overall I love Camo when going solo. In a group it doesn't work the greatest, because the Mobs attack you because they're attacking your group in general.
