I wouldn't suggest giving up CM - your ranged mind poisons/disease are deadly. Master Riflemen are deadly and are able to attack the same vulnerable mind pool, but with only 25 points, I wouldn't waste my time on novice riflemen. Get a good knock down/delay from novice carbiner or pistoleer and go to town. You'll have one of the most deadly combos out there. Last night with a full buff and mind buff and muon I was poisoned by a CM. Unaware for a few seconds while I was spamming HS3, I saw my mind start to drop. About 5 secs later I took a headshot from a riflemen and was incapped. I looked around and 3 of the others in my raiding party were on the ground, mind gone from the same CM.


Khyras,with the right statmigration and using the drugs we're all so addicted to, you should be able touse HS3, arguably our best shot, without any HAM costs.

I'd say go for carbines since it's better to dabble in and if you intend to master a ranged prof I'd still say go with carbines.

Seriously poeple...is it really that hard to spell "Krayt," its only 5 letters....not that hard to remeber...you must be a "n00b"....also why cant people spell "tusken"....thats only 6 letters...also not that hard to remeber....






Seriously people if you are going to point out spelling mistakes make freaking sure you don't have any in your own post! Remember has two "m"s dumbass. I guess 6 letters is the cutoff point for you?!

Rifle or carbine? That's like asking "Cake or death?"


Rifleman's the cake, for the slow ones among you...

HS3 is the bomb?? Wow, Aldeon must be turning over in his grave! HS3 costs almost twice the mind as HS2, and does only 20% more damage. W00t, i r teh ub3r rilfer!

Anyone who spams/uses HS3 = n00b in my books.









i use it all the time... but i get my focus high enough that the HAM cost doesn't come into effect... the quicker to kill the CM group poisioning everyone the better...


also it kills a kryte alot faster then HS2

I can just see a "Wait for the Combat Revamp" and "Wait for the Smuggler Revamp" quote all rolled into one.
"Wait for the Smuggbat Revamp"
Smuggbat, I like that

HS2 is the most HAM efficient. HS3 has the best DPS. Apparently, your book doesn't list people who pick shots based on context.

Also, Aldeon isn't dead, and he made a lot more sense than you.

I would put the 25pts in rifle. It better compliments a CM. You can rely on the bulk of your dmg to come from CM poisons then use a fast rifle to finish them off.


Sure charge shot is nice but it is bugged, dont expect it to stay how it is forever.

Chargeshot got fixed in todays patch. Nothing else got touched. No longer any reason to go carbine until the combat revamp.

I am a Master Carbine and a Master Riflemen and I am suprised at how many say carbine in the riflemen forum? Anyways the answer is ...................




Master Riflemen



no question about it, the ability to pull a sinlge mob from a group is far more effective then a now fixed charge shot, although the 2 complement each other well if you solo a lot go riflemen

Having mastered both rifleman and and carpineer.......Rifleman will do MUCH more to compliment CM capablities. Crapineer is just well...crappy. Poor carbineers. Further, should you choose to master Rifleman, dump CM and do Master Doc/Master Rifle. That way you can dump ALL your skill points into mind.... If human, that equals 1100 mind and 950 focus/950 willpower. Then just buff the other stuff.
