Ummmm, does that mean that I"m gonna be bufu'd? Considering I'm currently a Novie RM and am useing a T-21 rifle? Keep in mind that that's the best rifle that i have aside from the custom dlt-20a that a friendly weaponsmith made for me(as much as I likethat rifleI really don't want to go back to it).
I really would hate to have to put the T-21 away and try something less to grind master with. Oh, well, looks like the lost village time again. DAMN!!!!!
I am sorry to inform you that yes the T-21 is a master only weapon
If you are a novice rifleman you will need a spray stick as your weapon of choice, once you have a few boxs you will be able to upgrade to the e11 and after that a multitude of choices.

... so long as that multitude is the Massassi Ink Rifle... or have they adjusted the weapon levels?

I am doing master rifles/master pistoleer. I think this combo makes sense because of the rooting and crowd control mixed with the high dmg output of rifleman.
Yea, after some testing I am currently looking at
M/Marksman
M/Rifles
M/Pistoleer
Medic 0040
Scout 1000
The Root and Snare available keeps mobs at bay and rifles give good damage and speed with M/Marksman. The longer delay in using root has affected this slightly, but just before TC5 went down I was managing to solo level 77 non aggro lairs pretty easily at level 76 (still didnt have M/Rifles at this stage as I messed up respec!)
Needs some thought and planning of the action bar, you just cannot spam specials now, but I am definitely feeling much better about CU after my final testing
I am looking at Master Rifleman ? master BH (with some whatever)
or Master BH TKM (with some whatever.
I used to be a TKM master rifleman, but like an idiot i dropped master rifleman and dabbled in over proffs to see what their like, so now with my respec, i can only pick up one mastery and half of another.
So It will defiantly be BH, since master BH box require 340k Combat xp (how though im not sure, since cxp is capped at 300k)

I've heard a lot of talk about Rifle/BH with commando or pistoleer thrown in. Dunno how effective it will be yet.
That is what I am planning to have. MBH+MRM + some pistoleer (intimidate shot + some more). Pistoleer has some fun specials
How are you able to do this. When I respecd this template, said I didn't have enough elite pts.

When is TIA active? Is it just like Toughness in the old system?
No it's not. TIA is active all the time. The only time it is not active is when you wear any armour. Below is what Blixtev has said on the subject.

Lets assume you are a Master TKA-Commando:
Master Commando gives you max certification for Advanced Assault armour.
Master TKA gives you their defensive built in mitigators.
If you put on your Assault Armour it automatically cancels out the TKA built in mitigators.
If you take off your Assault armour your TKA mitigators again go active.
If you are wearing armour you can still use TKA specials however the armour is where your protection is coming from not the TKA mitigators. Similarly you can have your armour off and pull out the Rocket launcher and the TKA mitigators are active.
The point being you can have one or the other, they just don’t stack. It is just like you are not allowed to put on 2 chest pieces.
