what im trying to say is that BHs dont have to be "lucky" to win. They dont have to have favorable terrain and surroundings like you did, being next to your home city and they were afraid to get close. They don't have to use tactics of any sort. They don't have to BLEED AND RUN LIKE A LITTLE BITCH (yeah and we're snipers? OK). They just go and own you. You dont see a BH going on the forums saying "WOAH I KILLED A RIFELMAN!!" because its not an important thing because they kill everyone all the time, its not an issue.
We all know that, andI wasn't trying to brag about killing a couple ofunlucky Bounty Hunters - I related a lot of stories that didn't require much detail, and this one did.
No, what you are trying to do is re-kindle a Nerf the Bounty Hunter or make us more powerful sentiment. You must see my post as some sort of threat to your agenda.
You are trying to say (in a very awkward way)that most of the time, riflemen suck in PvP and that if I were to have charged after the BHs like a pistoleer then I would most certainly have been toast. Yeah, if the Bounty Hunters were moving (and although I did not see them, I'm certain they did not), I wouldn't have hit as often. You're trying to say that successful PvP styles for all BHs and Novice Riflemen are very different. I know, I feel the pain.
What I did NOT say is that I did this multiple times, or even claim that I could do this once more. Although I don't appreciate thatfewclasses have to use what I would consider real tactics, you're overlooking the fact that in the game right now, it doesn't matter - we have to work with what we've got.
"yeah and we're snipers?"
Many people disagree with this, and I only partially agree with it. If I fired closer to once per second, I might haveused one of my few AEspecials to attack them. Success would have been questionable, but that would not have been a sniping role.
Please re-think your reasons for posting here, Mr. Negativity.
Don't sweat the negetivity, Social. nice job for non-master rifle, way to use your head(shots)on those BH's. hehe.
You'll probably find that at master, you'll have much less use for bleeds. Strafeshot2 with a 450dmg T21 once per second does some pretty amazing dmg.(i'm master marksman as well)Also, make a macro for knockdown.
I use the dlt20a with a mind powerup on it (uses only 19 mind!) for KD's. the macro basically arms the dlt20a, does flurry2, supression, then switches back to my T21 for manuallyqueuedHS or Strafe2. there's some goofiness with the macro where it alternates between the dlt20a and the t21 slot at the end, haven't /debugged that yet, but otherwise it works very well PvE, haven't tested PvP. Sometimes you need the jawa rifle instead of the t21, so u must watch for that.
anyways, at master the fight will be over far too quickly to bother with bleeds. KD or all-out dmg.
your worst fear as master rifle is bounty hunters landing eyeshot and blinding you, but those are usually the dabbler BH's. master bh's seem to do more KD's and LLC shots. if you get kd'd , you dead. if they land an LLC special on you, you're goin down as well. (PVE, i've watched a BH friend of mine do 7140 dmg, and he can do it about once every 2-2.5seconds, though i'm not sure how consistant that dmg is,i imagine it's in theballpark often.- he's not master yet).
i got master on sunday night - it's a whole new ballgame, baby. i'm still adjusting to how deadly it is, i'm slowly getting over my under-estimation of my abilities. (multiple storm troopers are now about as tough as meatlumps were at 4-4-4-3.
