Rifleman Archive

anyone that says that they can take down 7 out of 10 Rebel or Imps are either killing n00bs or don't have any good PvP guilds on their server..........I hate to brag but Lowca (have toons on 3 different servers)is a hardcore PvP server and is full of people with 90% composite and Master Rifleman amongst other professions and PvP is vicious so we have learned the value of gear........

I PvP all the time and I am not a Master Rifleman yet. The best weapon I have seen so far is the Jawa Ion Rifle for PvP. It cuts through Adv Composite like a hot knife through butter. I typically start out by getting a mind bleed on them and then throw flurry shot 2 on them (works 25% of the time). If they do not get dizzy I start mind shot 3 on them, but stay as far as I possibly can from them. Once they get incapped I throw a sniper shot their way and finish the job. I rarely use anything other than the Jawa Ion Rifle for PvP due to the higher ham costs and resists that are typically on armor.

I tried PvPing at 4/3/4/4. with one insignificant skill yet to learn i thought rifleman would surely do ok in pvp. NOPE. i hit once per ten shots, and shot about once every 5 secs


i was amazed at what master did for me in pvp

I was called in for back up on one of the assults of that city My Two weapons of choice in PvP are a T21 and a Jawa Ion gun. As a Rifleman I try to keep as much range as i can between me and my enemy as I can and I try to stand behind my teammates with high resists to knockdowns. Being that I'm also a doc they dont mind as much that they take the shots first. The main thing that will help you out SPEED with a T21. You aregoing totry to get up that 4th line for more Speed. I feel that the Laser rifles does too many low hits in PvP with Damage mitigation out there. Like the others have said before me Mind shot works great especially in a Raid, beacuse if the come back they will have wounds and make it easier to drop them a second time.

I went on a streak in Anchorhead today, 15 one shot 1 kills, god i love my prenerf, a master doc and 3 combat professions finally got me when i hit my muon downer.

As a master rifleman/master tka/master brawler i took out ~83 rebels straight, no deaths. 2500 faction gained...then buffs wore off

Good doctor buffs, good musician/dancer buffs, 650max t21 and 460 max jawa rifle...80kinetic/79 elec/ 70% rest composite armor with all good encumbrance slices (enc is around 530/480/540)...and a couple rifle speed SEAs to fire my t21 at 1 second cap (+7 total).

Previously I was a master doctor/master rifle which is good for curing poison from those pesky combat medics and getting yourself off the ground from kd/dizzy....but lacks in defense big time. As my current setup on the brawlers i would open up with warcry 2 (20 second delay) on them, then unarmed dizzy/kd and whip out the jawa or t21 depending on if they were wearing armor or not and finish them off.

I think since rifle has no ranged KD's it has to be mixed with a melee prof. I went rifle before T-21's were even availible on Starsider, and got whapped left and right till I picked up TKM too. I would say it's a must as a rifleman to keep people as far away from you as possible. If they do get close have a good melee prof to engage in close combat. Other than that keep a wide array of guns on you. In my tool bar I have my T-21, Disruptor, and a Jawa Ion rifle. Hope this is good info
