Rifleman Archive

DPS per second looks crazy with a T21, but since T21 are not available everywhere, are not cost efficient, are not HAM efficient, AR is borked, very few Master Riflemen actually use them. Plus, that FWG5 is crap. I have seen less that 2 sec delay, 250 + max damage FWG5s often on Lowca... But that is another debate all together.

All things said, any DPS argument is not reflective of a range profession's performance over all. And I don't hear anyone complaining about a Commando's DPS. Why? Because everyone knows that there are trade offs with that damage. They have never complained about being kited with their 16m style range.

We havent talked about any realtrade offs here other than 2.5 melee damage & borked defense mods.

Philosoper, take a look at Vopn's post above. And I suggest you try an alt rifleman. The game play as a rifleman is WAY DIFFERENT than the game play of rifles through Marksman. I started a Novice Pistoleer & it is not as peachy keen as many people would like to sell it, however, it is much much MUCH less frustrating to play.

And the beauty with my Pistoleer is that I have everything but the trapping line & masterof scout to get to BH. As soon as I hit that I will be able to get Novice BH & start a stackin. It's a time sink, but really not that hard at all to get BH. I think that they should change the requirements for BH to something that makes more sense.. But that is another subject for another day...
