Now a master rifleman - Looks like I overestimated - 3 days total. No CH no Doc just Muon Gold. Easiest profession I've mastered.

It was very hard when there was no food to use, and spices were bugged. Also warping and the 2.5x damage multiplier sucked real bad, add to the insanly slow weapons we had during the early days due to very few good weaponsmiths, then you have a profession that was hard to master. I guess it is easier now, so I guess you proved your point.

shoulda seen it when we first started. 2.5x melee half, your shots missed, most couldn't get a t21, laser rifles suxed, almost no defences, no entertainer buffs. It was mad difficult when i started and finished it you got it easy now. Also we couldn't hit **edit** at point blank.

My response: I gues I should use the faction point exploit to master professions too.


3 days means one of two things:


A) Your full 'O' S.................


B) You used an exploit.

I'm gonna have to start a BE Char, I like grinds that punish you. All I know is weaponsmith without a macro is nice and tourcherous, ahhh the pain feels good.

arkon is a tool


it took me 3 months to master rifleman.


Back when we could hit 1/4 times, one hit would incap us, and MOBS would search us out because even though our overall dmg output was lower than a pistoleers, our per shot output was higher, so MOBs went right for us and left the rest of the group alone. Rifleman used to suck ass, seen that hundred page thread on the discussion forum? We just got good sub-master VERY recently.

uh... duh, not many classes in this game are difficult to master when the main bugs have been fixed, you have access to the best strategies (none of which you came up with btw), financing, a good group, and all the time ofschoolon your mom's computer to grind.


so what was the point of coming on here to post? oh right just to be an **edit**. you accomplished your goal, well done.

Arkon, did you happen to be using any certain EXPLOIT around caves to accomplish this with only Headshots?

Instead of bragging about how easy it is to master, how about sharing with others how you did it with only headshots? This would help a lot our community since the gap between master and novice causes lots of friction.


That's assuming you used no game breaking methods and you can share it with us "un-skilled" riflemen without any fear of reprisal from the devs.

Nowadays good armor and spice and food and doc buffs are plentiful. There are hardly any warping mobs. You can use conceal shot and you don't get 2.5 melee damage modifier. Here's me doing rifle before that stuff. Go prone at 60 meters. Shoot at Baz Nitch. Baz Nitch warps on top of you and hits you for 1200. So, yeah, it's comparitively easy now, but so is everything else. And if your character is already established you have the money to buy T21s and good rifles. Oh yeah, T21s weren't available for a long time on many servers too. Besides that, you've played the game awhile and know how to look for resists, what mobs to hit, and there are guides on how to level.

Im taking my time with rifleman, but i too could easily master it in 3 days. I know and repsect all you people who did this back in the days you "had to walk to school in 4 feet of snow without shoes or pants", but that is irrelevant now. The holo craze has ruined this game with power leveling.


TKM took me 4 days (2 of which were on the unarmed in brawler)


Pistoleer took me 3 days (squill cave and tusken bunker solo'ed= 1 million xp per hour)


Carbineer took me 2 months the first time back in july/august, then 4 days recently


MBH took me 3 weekends.... (i only really play on the weekends)


So what he says isnt unreasonable. But hes not rubbing it in your face, just stating the obvious- it is easy if you have money and time to do it. SOE made it this way, so dont hate. I plan on staying with rifleman/ranger because it has been a long standing goal of mine.
