Rifleman Archive

hey guys just want yall to know that much of what you see on the bh boards is simply wishfull thinking. (i take it that way at least)

most of the bh's that post on that board all the time are the ones who have 10 mins to their next shuttle ride and come to the boards to vent a little investigation line steam .

personally i dont think we should have medic skills in our line, after all we DO have 33 points left over at master. im not sure but i think that can get 4,0,0,0 medic and then you are gonna heal yourself for a whole bunch using stim b's.

pleas know that even wepps our former corrospodent had to vent .

he was the one who was dealing with the complete lack of responce from the devs on our horribly busted investigation line.

why dont people cut the BH's some slack, i cut everybody else slack

Harppon you a dumb **edit** ya know that? we can shoot hs3 just as fast at master.

'bout this Lighting cannon deal:

If the light lightning cannon WAS a rifle it would show consistincy with the rest of the tree (ie carbine and pistol specilization). I do feel that in consistancy with the carbine specilizaton, scatter pistol and LLC (in this case, a rifle) could be migrated to respected elite classes as well. This would encourage dabbling to recieve the respected weapons and would create true diversity in an expensive, well liked class (if carbine gets fixed). Master BH could also be upgraded to encourage full exploration in the tree.

yes but hes not going to be master, hes only going a bit up the rifleman trees, and you admited yourself that rifle is weak at that point. Hes not going master rifleman.

we all "gotta be hatin'" as you said it, because some bounty hunters run around claiming they're weak while simultaneously bragging about killing 5 people in PvP without dying.

not sayin' anything bad on you, but I know far too many of these people.

why the hell would you dabble in rifleman? with pistol 2 in BH, your eyeshot is already better than anything the rifleman gets until master

Well, that's you're opinion and you're welcome to it, but honestly I love my rifle skills. I've only PvP'd once before (and that was a friendly one-on-one Tourny held by my PA) so I'm not sure how effective I'd be in that area but as far as my Bounty Hunter mission marks are concerned I rarely have to use a weapon other than my rifle.

I take a lvl 28 BH mission (mark has about 10k HAM), go prone at 60m, equip T21, then Mindshot 2, and Flurry Shot 1. Sometimes he's seen me by now, sometimes not (if not I fire off a Headshot 3). At this point, if he's a ranged fighter (probably over 90% of them are) he'll chage his posture to try and fight back and end up falling on his back for the durration of the "fight". If he's melee, I'll have to change up my tactics a bit to beat him (i.e. switching to my pistol and using Eye Shot to blind him so that he doesn't hit me as often, or using my carbine to try and knock him down with Underhand).

So, in my eyes, Eye Shot is not "better than anything the rifleman gets until master". If that were the case, I could just stand there and spam it at my mark (hell, you make it sound like all I would have to do is use it once and I win) and he would die without giving me so much as a scratch. In reality, at 500-600 dmg per hit, I'd probably run out of Action long before he ran out of Mind (that is if he didn't blast/beat me to death first).

Why we all gotta be hatin'? Can't we all just get along? =P
