Personally, if you can afford to buy the Rifle Speed, I wouldn't bother with Master Marksman.

This pistol dable is giving you 50 to defenses. Its not supposed to be for damage with a pistol, just pure defenses. 50 Kd, Posture, dizzy ect.
ah, i was under the impression that they had made it so that defenses worked only with that weapon... nvm then.

I only do PvE and I do big game hunting; Rancs, Krayts, GDK's, the NS that a rifleman can shoot.
My Scheme is something like this
Marksman 4-0-0-2 (gotta have that +20 general aiming, +2 do both defenses, and who doesn't love the tumbling?)
Medic 3-3-0-0 (In the field all the time, don't gotta be able to heal, medicine use doesn't have to be high for most normal stuff but you wanna have that speed, just in case)
Master Rifleman (but of course)
Master Scout
Ranger 4-2-4-0
In all honesty for PvE you don't need much else besides Rifleman itself, especially since anything you can't blow away, like big game, your going to be conceal shotting anyway, and that's where getting some ranger skills comes in, since you don't need more combat, you become a master tracker and get your camo skills up. Camo/Maskscent make a rifleman a helluvah hunter. Get a little dash of camp building for when you need a break, or you are group hunting (everyone loves to see someone break out a Field Base Kit.) Plus you can make some good money, since you have awesome harvesting skills you can not only pick up the nice loot from your big game hunts, you get to harvest massive amounts of resources, which you inturn sell to Docs and whoever else wants in. Since you have Medic and the camping skill, and since your doing nothing but blasting things instead of going head on with them, you can literally sustain yourself extremely long periods of time since your Battle Fatigue rarely goes anywhere. Plus you get tracking with lets you get a lock on all those hard to find, and yet oh so wanted Mobs like those **edit** GDK's.

some wont agree with me but i think that one of the best templates would be:
MRM
CM 4004, so that you hit the mind with not only a jawa/dxr, but mind poison/disease as well
and either doc 4000, for healing states, or pistoleer 0040 or as much as you can fit in there, for defenses
Sraive Dabo'tah
Master Rifleman
In The Words Of Tarzan: "ME SHOOT YOU GOOD!"
a few problems with these two:
the pistol dabble isnt very well spent, as, with weapon switch delay, switching weapons will not be extremely effective, in addition, you will have very low pistol speed, so you will be far from near the speed cap, thus, a much lower dps.
as for the doc template, although you will have the abilities to heal the states, you will not have the medicine use to use them.
if i would be using a template along these lines, it would be: master rifleman, 4004 cm, 4030 doc
*cough* moron.
The skill points invested in pistoleer are for passive defence vs. states. You get amazing defense vs. blind, stun, dizzy, knockdown, and posture change attacks. Being passive...they apply while having a rifle out. You wouldn't use pistols to actually attack things, unless you honestly don't know what you're doing. Granted you WOULD have to use them to grind 0040, but a speed sliced FWG5 and a speed powerup can easily hit a 1.0 speed.
As for doctor...you can cure states, yes. Just because you can't craft the medicine doesn't mean you can't use it. Ever hear of buying things?

OK, Ok, here it is, uber temp. MCH and rifleman with a bit of tk on the side !! Why you may ask. Let me tell you why.
A. ch is already nerfed so one less worry and no trolls crying nerf on the ch boards
B. When you get killed, your pets will run back to where your poor mangled body is and look extremely sad, making for uber screen shot.
Now throw in tk 4/0/0/0 and you don't even need a doc to heal your wounds.
Of course there is the outside chance that ch may actually be useful at times, pets do gain agro pretty well. so if you conceal shot to get the odds down a bit you can pretty much leave your armor in your pack and quit paying the doc 10k too.

what is the deal with u people and your 1000medic, are u all insane? thats about as useful as 1000marksman, it waaaaaaaas 4030 doc, 4004 cm, mrifle, now, either master doc master rifle (1000 scout or brawler)for pvp medic support/good damage, and the tk/fencer defense combo with master rifles for maybe dueling and pve, is it really debateable? seriously, im not even a rifleman yet, im just changin becuase they finallly nerfd cm, u guys have no idea how hard it was to keep from goin the earlier mentioned uber pvp template just so i wouldnt be part of the problem. is there really any other way to go? i think not
