Currently on the second page of the Rifleman forums: Complete guide to soloing Nightsister Elders talks about how to work with that.

I watched a master brawler/master swordsman kill an NS elder too. Took him a little over 45 minutes.

Me and my alt regularly kill dragons and if i manage to keep my riflaman on his feet and shoting while the pets tanke and the alt heals and tosses poisons/diseases there are very few groups out there that can outdamage me.


Although i am expecting a nerf to a 80 speed mod or the like sometme soon and preparing for it

I've solo'd a couple of Krayts, just to see if I could. Exciting at first, but boring after about 20 minutes. No loot, either. All I wanted was a pearl or some tissues.


Of course, having Feign Death as a backup does help, I must admit.

Attention all Nerfcriers! Direct your attention to CM.... leave us riflemen alone...CM can do more damage to more things than we can hope to do in a lifetime. Go pick on them....

hey lol im a nerfcrier; yea ok say rifleman aren't overpowered you just solo'd an animal that requires either massive groups or exploits. Or 1 rifleman...How can you not see how this isn't in balance with the rest of the game?







Uh...Yachew....Are you an Idiot? I mean that in a clinical way....Truly...


Conceal shot WORKS on MOB's. What does it MATTER if we can kill a Krayt with 5 hours of patience or not? IN PvP It means NOTHING. How is this UNBALANCED? The fact that a Carbineer, Pistoleer, TKA, You name it cannot "solo" a Krayt makes Rifle overpowered?


Look at the profession....SNIPER.....And what is a SNIPER? Please ask urself? A SNIPER Hides....Hits HARD from CONCEALMENT. This is a DESIGN of the profession. I am here to tell you, with an Average Dmg weapon, I do not do HALF the damage with Conceal Shot as I do with UA3 of TK.EACH class has their advantages and disadvantages.

"Riflemen are the only class that can completely solo anything and everything in the game, NS elders, Krayts, and everything below. Makes me want to make a rifleman alt, I think I will."

So very wrong.

Juvy Krayts can not hurt me. I tank them for fun.

Regular krayts make my mind pool sweat but, thats only cuz I have not used any canap when fighting them yet. I can easily drop one in less than 12 minutes though so, even though I am working master rifle, Iknow its not the only badass prof out there.

This is very similar to the way I SnipePeko Peko Albatross. I use my middle of the road Disruptor Rifle from 71m, with Brandy and Canapes, and a dmg pup. It takes me about 30minutes solo. I never develop the random bleed, and as long as no PC gets closer than me to the bird, I am never seen. I still have half of my last box to go in rifleman, so I don't even have the master speed bonus yet. I have regularly cleared the spawn of 3-4 Albas, and gotten 2-3 feathers each time. When my guildie Master Rifleman is on too, we have taken them down in about 10 minutes each.


Yes it is boring, but it is also safe. I like safe


I went looking for a Krayt to shoot at yesterday in fact, and I found an Ancient, but theGraveyard was too darn crowded and the thing kept jumping around on me. Sometime I plan to go back and start workingth areaat about 4am local time, when less people are around.


Note: I have found that I get a significant extension to maximum range when shooting Huge Creatures. As I said 71-74m is a good range for P-P albas, and I was hitting the Krayt Ancient from 83m. Finding the "good range" will negate your need to Peace every 3 shots. I ConcealSpam albas without ever stopping.

Step 1: Loop the conceal shot/peace macro.

Step 2: Lunch time.

I've never been able to figure out why people get so upset that someone can solo a PvE mob and they can't.. if you want to you know how now. No I am not a rifleman.
