is..."Man I dont know why Riflemen always complain".

I just started PVP'ing...wanted to wait till I got to Master, and that seems to be a common comment after our fight. Granted I dont win EVERY fight, but I do win a very good majority. I dont know if its how I play or what, but I dont think we are under powered at all...and when I fight, I make people realize how powerfull we are.

until a BH sees you

Yes at master, however whenever I fight anyone unless I get a really high damage bleed and hit my headshot I"m dead. Now I'm not a master but then neither is my opponent most of the time, they're just dabblers or people at the same play rate as I am (play alot but don't kill things). I can't wait for the glory that comes from mastery, but until then I lose everytime at AH unless I can find someone preoccupied with a different fight to attack me up on the hill.

at master u'll still get owned by BHs and CHs

I'll be the judge of that. Like I said I can't judge our class over all since I haven't sat down and ground out the rest of the way like I've been meaning too...over the last month. But at my current level we are horrid at PvP.

you have to play smart....i run in...hit and split! works for me.

there is no friggin way you can go toe-to-toe with a BH or a CH, but you can cause them problems. Solo i do ok....in a group is were rifleman stomps butt.

I am at about 70% victory against bh eye shot means jack when you on munon gold. oh and you shoot hs3 just as fast as eye shot at master and hs 3 does more dmg

yes but you are draining mind and the BH isnt do you see the different? And the BH doesn't have to use drugs

at master rifle/master marksman /doctor i never lose to bh's or commando's one on one (or more than one vs me).Ch pets are the only thing that cause me grief, now that i can wear a composite helmet/chest plate without problems when not on gold.

Meskall and Seflyn have the same experience, i'm sure. if you can't wear a helmet then you won't survive too long against a BH with eyeshot unless you pop muon gold. if you're going to duel a BH, put on a helmet even if you don't have an insane mind pool like doctors do - your mind can take the beating for one fight with the helmet, you will win and just have to regen after.If you spend the god-awful amount of points to get to 0230 doctor (and have another doctor make buffs for you) then you can stand up to BH's all day.

btw, HARPOON, we're not the only class that has issues with wearing armor. when i'm not buffed i have only 400 health and action, but high mind. i can kill master pistoleers, bounty hunters,and commando's in no time flat when they're wearing composite. their specials do a lot of action dmg to themselves when they wear their full suits, 2 or 3jawa shots and they go down. even with only 400 health and action, i will only take maybe 2 shots if they are extremely lucky -and my light armor soaks that up. i've done extensive testing on this, and none of the testing occured at over 25m range.

jawa rifle = composite killer.

i have both classes... maxed combat bh on kauri, rifleman on scylla.

my bh loses to master riflemen at least half the time. basically, its less than a 50/50 proposition. IF the MR misses his first Strafe2, and IF my first KD hits, i win. else, master rifle wins.

someone who's not near master rifleman, on the other hand, is pretty weak. so, if you want to make that argument, i'd listen. once rifle special abilites 4 and counter sniping 3 are attained, though, you're golden. that gives you high damage aoe attacks at relatively low speeds with laser rifles.

Thats the only thing i don't like about rifle we have no kd's while most other combat lasses do. If we changed one of are many posture up attacks to kd we would be golden.

Find a BH or CH on bloodfin that can kill me 2 out of 3 duels... i dare you.
