Actauly I reguraly duel a carbiner, and its intresting. Unarmored and unbuffed she wins 90% of the time, but buffed and armored I win most of the time (unless she lands a annoying KD/blind) but if I'm totaly pumped for PvP I almost always win (save for the time I crashed and she blew my LD guy away) So its like everyone is saying, its dependant on how prepaired you are. If you catch a rifleman un buffed and not drunk its like catching him naked. =)



On a side note I have dropped master bounty hunters unbuffed but drunk, which is just wrong concidering the skill cost points =P

It's just that rifleman is a simple profession to do well with. Because the concept is pretty straight forward: Long range, high damage.

But to do well we need major stat boosts, master marksman or speed tapes, and another profession with higher defenses.

Facing someone who knows the ins and outs of their profession, especially one with knockdown or something similar, can spell some major d00m.

The answer is no... Rifleman is good cause of the Stun in pvp but theres Brandy and stun armour. Second Rifle is ranged, so if he cant see u he cant shoot u. just so u know. then just wait till he comes close if ur a meele and get him. That easy. Its all about tactics. Even a Swordsman with a speed cap is good in PVP

They are simply the only ranged profession that deals mind damage AND has a stun weapon.


In these days of uber doctor buffs and uber composite mind damage is the only way to kill people worth their salt.


If pistoleers hadhead shot instead of riflemen, they'd be the best.


Of course there are hybrids like the pistol/bounty hunters and templates that use fencer and a stun baton which will get you kills too.

PVP professions in my order:


The number 1 & 2 Best PVP professions are Doctor & CM(Obvious IMO)



Drop off in effectiveness



3-is Fencer COB is l337(especially with dodge foods and what not) and Fencer got some nice Specials(Blind, Intimidate, ect)


4- is Rifleman, Highest damage dealer in a game where defence is overpowering.


5- Is TKA, nice little neato specials and self buff




Big drop off in effectiveness now



6- BH, if combined with pistoleer x-x-2-x can be somewhat lucky in PVP


7- Pistoleer, can add BH x-x-4-x to be very effective(Reason why I put BH first is the KD/Dizzy options)


8- Swordman, Mind Damage


9- Pikeman, with extremly Rare DOT lances can be good


10- Carbineer, uses less SP thenthen lower professionsand it's specials do work.



Another Big Drop off in effectiveness



11- Smuggler, can be added to pistoleer


12- CH, if MOB's are easy in PVE in PVP they get slaughtered


13- Commando, nearly one of the worst professions


14- Squad Leader, adds no real benifit to their group.

CM's are like nukes. You have them just incase you need them, but as soon as you start using yours the other guys start using theirs and everything goes to hell-PyschoticChipmunk -The First line of the Riflenomican.

Ranger is not a profession. It's a lifestyle.

ranger is pretty usefull, the burstrun bonus and the terrain negotiation gives you the ability to outrun anyone if needed

Perma-burstrun, state heals at range (ANY range, more or less, certainly I've had dizzy/stun fixed by a SL who was way further than 64m), group defence bonuses... in 'group' PvP, not having a SL is a major disadvantage.

Ohh I stand corrected then put them above carbineer, now Commando is the worst profession now
