Rifleman Archive

I actually quite like the DXR6-B, I have a couple.. one I had made just for the sake of it and another Krayt version.. I haven't been playing as much I'd like to lately and need to get them both Sliced ( Prays for Damage Slices ). They are a decent and useful weapon..

The Lithanium Rifle I may get my hands on for just collectors value.. There's no point in using it for combat, you might as well use a Cheap Tusken Rifle instead.

As far as the Berserker Rifle goes, I'll definitely get at least one made up for myself.. Another Damage type in my Toolbar cant be a bad thing.. but yeah, its probably going to be about as effective as the SG82 is.. which isn't all that useful..

Wait, so, one of the major rifleman complains, that we have few damage types, is being nullified by adding 3 new damage types in the last month or two, but the rifles are useless? Are you aware that MOST classes only have 2-3 viable weapons (if that) and the rest are just for damage variety on those few times they need it?

Rifleman's only viable weapons

T21

Jawa Rifle

Laser Rifle

That's it. Devs need to start making useable weapons, otherwise it's just a waste of space.

I'm an ex pistoleer and ex carbineer and am just passing through as a rifleman (but may want to revisit again later).I can tell you that the disruptor rifle is not useless. The disruptor does acid damage, which a lot of mobs are vulnerable or have low resists to. Off the shelf both the T21 and the Disruptor are comparable. The T21 has a slight edge in damage whereas the Disruptor has an edge in speed. A T21 is heavy AP vs the disruptor's Medium AP. One of the things i learned as a pistoleer is to look at the resistances of mobs.Take a Rhoa Kwi Packleader, which has light armor, 65% energy resist, and 0% (not vulnerable) for acid. Which you think is more efficient? The T21 or the Disruptor?

I've seen screeners of theLithanium Rifle. It's got decent speed and good max damage. Now i dont know about you, but i think this kinetic damage weapon would be handy againstsome Nighsisters....unless you enjoy seeing no numbers float above their heads when you use your T21.

If certain rifles did the damage type that they used to (spraystick used to do acid, and tusken rifles used to do kinetic), then i can see how these weapons may have a bit less significance. But right now, i think these rifles are far from useless.

Unfortunately the Lithanium Rifle was changed from Kinetic to Energy Damage recently .. Otherwise it would have been a useful addition to our arsenal.

Well we got the DXR-6- And though while I do admit it can be ok if made right, it only looks cool.

Then that rifle that was obv. made by a really lazy person- basically gave it a tusken rifle template and renamed it- and i still dont know if it's either kinetic or energy but the damage is horrible. oh yeah it's almost impossible to get since you have to kill a 300k HAM Tusken Observor that rarely spawns.

Pistoleer's only viable weapons in PvP:

Geonosian (and tangle, kinda), Repub

Carbineer's:

Elite, and... uhh... well, nothing.

BH:

Scatter & Tangle, Laser carb, LLC

Only the stun baton out of all the melee weapons is anything to write home about in PvP, other than that they're all kinetic (unless there's 1 or 2 I'm missing).

Composite is the norm for PvP, it protects against everything but stun. The only categories in weapons for PvP are: Protected vs composite, or stun. Everything else is mute.

And actually our useful guns aren't

1. T-21


2. laser


3. jawa

It's

1. T-21/laser


2. Jawa

people either use the T-21 or the laser rifle due to personal preference and honestly I think just about everyone uses the T-21. It is basically the constant heavy hitter where the laser is therandom heavy hitter. They are both essentially as useful as the other, although the T-21 has the upper hand in my book, and both do essentially the same thing.
