Most of the simple stuff is mind buffs if available, BE'd Brandy and a mind food of your choice. I use ahrisa personally but canape is also good. Just stick all the states you can or go for a KD if you can. If your an all melee template make use of buildings and lure them to you. When your running out in front of the theed starport they're gonna have the upper hand obviously so stay hidden. If your ranged hide behind buildings if things go wrong. Rest up abit and if your melee stick to that. Otherwiseregenerate your mindand have a second go at it. Blind + Pointblank works wonders and intimidate too. If you get rid of their accuracy and damage there's not muchthey can do. Or if your a combat medic, Mindpoison + Burst Run is pretty nice as well just have your friends tank for awhile and your set!

Rifleman works just fine. Rifleman doesnt stack with anything. If you are a pistoleer, pick up fencer defense (ie. dodge stacking) and you can abuse most riflemen. Pick up MCM, toss a mindpoison followed by a mind disease... and you can abuse mostriflemen. If you're a carbineer, I'm sorry, and I hope they fix more of your shots soon.

Go pick up fencer/pistoleer and see for your self. You can not hang with rifles. As far as the carbine jab, my shots are fixed, but what do riflemen think should be done about fixing the other professions? Carbine has more working and usefull shots than rifleman, so why do riflemen still kick the crap out of us? Cause you shoot damn fast!

Rifleman works just fine? So it is working fine, my foot. Rifleman owns every other shooting class.


Rifleman is so good we can just get rid of , pistoleer, carbineer, Bounty Hunter , hell if Commando did not have any blast damage you could get rid of them also.


Carbineer has more working shots than rifleman does. So why are they so feeble in pvp?


How would you fix the other classes? They cant out damage you? They cant be any more accurate than you? More defenses? How do the dev's make the other professions on par with rifleman? HAM costs?


ask your self these questions.

I don't find it to hard to take down a rifle man, just put some 40% Stun Composit. I just Dizzy, posture Down change, then they fall and I have at em for 10 secs. Rinse and repeat. ALso 105+ dodge, and very high melee, and Range also help, along with really good defense V. KD,PC,DIzzy, ect..

Sounds like the people complaining are the carbineers that stick on a stun helmet or the pistoleers, BHs spamming one special and expecting to win. I'm sorry, it doesn't work that. Confuse shot, fireKD, cripple shot spam and there goes your rifleman. Pistoleers, get in close and pistol whip. Keep them stunned and intimidated if at all possible. And for godsake's, listen to the people telling you that Stun armour is a must. Because it's true.

Combat Medics, Commandos (before they were nerfed), BHsand other Rifleman have been the ones to take me down the most often. But I set my stats to max out my secondaries on Health and Action, and to max out my Mind to 1100, along with those secondaries as well.


Iow, my HAM looks like this:

Now, this is all speaking from a NON-buffed point-of-view, more along the lines of situations where you have to deal with a sudden unexpected TEF or Starport attack. Good movement tactics can keep you from getting KD'ed, but it doesn't take much for the other ranged professions to get the upper hand if you're not careful. Riflemen are NOT invincible. We are designed to volley heavy damage at a great distance (strafeshot2 and flushingshot2 are our best friends, with flurry2 and conceal running close seconds -- and I personally like using suppression fire 1 whenever possible), but we are sorely lacking in defense.


IMO, along with Fencer, in contrast to the other combat professions, we are probably one of the most already-balanced professions in the game.

A pure rifleman u can beat with a kd/blind combo. (if u get close enuf.) What overcomes this problem is stacking master fencer, pistoleer 1-0-4-0. After that KD/blind/dizzy is a rare thing. Cm's on the other hand....i like to poison them aswell, less effective, but area mind poison is something we can do as well...

Im MHS/Master Fencer/TKA. I usually like to wait till they stand still and try to blast people, run in dizzy with fencer skills, area attack 3 with swordsman skills and head hit 3 till I have turned their composite armored head into a jar of peanut butter
