Rifleman Archive

I liked rifleman so much when I had to master it for the holo on one char, I decided to master it on my other.

I lead a very large guild in which I schedules hunts and raids daily. So I am a master CH and now a master rifleman. Raids seem to be happening a lot more often than hunts lately, so I thought I'd put together a thread of how you all find yourselves effective in these large battle situations.

Obviously, sniper shot is nice for DBing from a distance if the situation calls for it.

FS2 has proven really nice when they are clustered together.

Outside of that, I have typically been using strafe2 unless we have CMs applying mind disease in which I will use head shots.

Turrets have good resists to the T21 but it still seems to do really good damage.

When inside a base I have been using a spraystick for the close quarters battles, but the low end damage is just horrible. I'm thinking about just using my T21 indoors.

Any suggestions?

Due to speed issues with a damage sliced T21 I usually stick to a laser rifle (my pvp is 790 sliced/powerup) or my jawa rifle (420 sliced/powerup) for those 90% composite freaks.

In Close Quaters I switch to the Jawa Rifle, not as bad a T21 in CQ accuracy and not as weak as a Spray Stick in damage.

Oh and stun scares people.

Wait, what? They don't? I need to test this.

it is very cool

Wow, it really does. that'sgoddamn awesome, I wish I had known before.

So do my strategies seem sound to you more seasoned riflemen?

I have just recently picked up rifleman because of a holo but I have always preferred my rifle to any other weapon. Well **edit** rifleman ROCKS! With rifles IV i had to tell the other people in my hunting group to aim for the mind bar because I cant do crap for damage if i dont use my specials. Now I can solo so much stuff and not take damage because of the distance. This is great. I really hope I dont have to drop it for my next holo.

**edit**?! I just picked up thinking it was cool, but I can't do **edit** to anything. I almost ready to drop this.

Master rifleman/master doctor. 400 all stats but 1100 mind, 1100 willpower, 800 focus.

I use a krayt dlt20a that does 510 dmg. 24 mind cost.

Also use a krayt jawa ion rifle for comp armor.

Use HS3 and advanced strafe depending. almost never use dizzy/kd. They are dead long before that will help them.

Ok I was thinking of dropping my stats as well. I have quite a bit in medic and can arrange to be buffed all the time. Does anyone think that dropping everything for mind stats is insane? Even with spices and food I am getting hammered in my mind pool.

Also, I have heard some talk that powerups that modify range can allow us to shoot from greater than 65m distances. I'd love to spam strafe 2 on a tower from 80m.

Rifleman is an amazing class at master... veryyyyy deadly. We can hit like a ton of bricks and take your mind away if we want. Probley one of the best PVP class, just watch out for eyeshot
