I was wrong, At least in PvP dizzy wasnt nerfed but i swear in PvE it deoesnt last longer than 3 seconds.... going to test it out now...

Dizzy works in pvp but not in PvE... Its Nerfed i want you to admit it LOL, go ahead try it on NPCs i dare you... if you got out of 64 range it drops dizzy. Plus in PvE it seems to be a one time pass fail soif he falls over the dizzy is lifted. i tryed this on hardstormtroopers and lowly plasma thieves.... This is a nerf and i want knownand our correspondent toadmit it.

Anyways, I went out and tested the dizzy on different level NPCs. It ranged from 10-30 seconds. Higher blues-white, it would last around 10 seconds, but on some it lasted a long time.

The problem I have with Dizzy now is that when they did fall over they would stay down for several secs. Enough for2 or3 good shots. Now it appears that when they fall over they can stand up again almost immediately. Is this just me?

No, happens to me, On mobs you wouldnt think have that much defense vs dizzy too. They need to reduce the defenses on some of these mobs.

When you stand up dizzy should drop off, it really depends on the mob, and on how much defense vs dizzy they have. I noticed on blue conned rebels, dizzy is lasting about 10 seconds, so they probably have alot of defense vs dizzy.I think they over did defenses on lower level mobs, I used to have them down for about 20-30, now its more 10-15. Ill try it on a even lower leve mob, like a hermit or something.

It was an un-intentional nerf, becuase they "fixed" defenses finnaly. We have a small defense vs dizzy if you notice, and counter-sniping 3, so now dizzy should last, a bit less on us.

Alot of people wanted defenses fixed, not knowing it would make it harder for them in PvE. They wanted, defense vs knockdown to work,ranged defense, ect.

Best tip I can give is to get a Rock Beetle. They're non-CH pets and with their resists they can take one helluva beating. I've been having a blast doing Pubam Camps (both small and medium) on Endor for some really nice xp. The 25k credits for mission completion can't be argued against either. : ) I average 4 camps an hour. Bringing in about 100k. Hopefully as I get better at it my time will drop.

Though I am also a Master CM so that helps out ALOT. Though a non CM could do it as well. It would just take a bit more time. Even if you're not hunting Pubams a Rock Beetle makes for a great tank if you're not planning on going CH at all.

My love for Endor has just shot through the roof.

as rifleman with 4 2 4 2 (a bug ate 22000 combat XP ) I feel cant do much in the terms of PvP Duels, Battles I can handle since I stay a bit behind the front and dont get bashed that much, or have docs/medics healing me.

But when it comes to 1 on 1, Since the latest patch with accuracy changes, its not uncommen for me to dont even hit the guy, I use a laser rifle, so what am I doing wrong, should I go back to my old dlt20a?

And another questions, Laser rifles are AP 2, we should get and 56% damage bonus, does that happen?

Well, LRI, to be honest I don't think Rifleman should be doing well in duels anyway. Rifleman is a specialist, somewhere between Combat class and non-combat class. If you can't get a first shot kill, then you're probably toast. Think on it: A Rifleman (sniper) is best (a) at long range, (b) when they can choose the initiation of hostilities, e.i. the first shot, and (c) when the target is unaware of our, er, theirlocation.

Otherwise, I wouldn't expect a Rifleman to do well against close combat classes (BH, Pistoleer, Teras Kasi Artist, etc.). Stick to Battles. In the chaos of a battle, you have a better chance of remaining relatively undetected as you pick off targets at a distance.

Now, if we could fix a vibro-bayonet to the muzzle....

What I do that seems to work well for me is get a GSP. I planned the skills out for master fifle/ranger and the rest into CH. Which is enough to have one GSP out at a time and like three more in storeage. I have no medic ability so i take a new one out then the other is used up. I shoot mobs and when the argo i send in the pet. most of the time the pet gets to the mob before i even have to get up from prone. When i get higher up in the rifle/ranger i will have to loose all but one ranged weapon support. I know i will loose warningshot. Most of the time ill use waring shot and one will run away the other will incap me and them they will both run out of range and bleed to death before i get up so i loose all that exp. These GSP's have 8k hp w a 60% vs kenetic.

I just send him in and shoot away. My main problem is with the prone/warp bug

i have a question...

1) i gain more XP with a small pet attacking big targets?

i

lol

2) i gain more rifle xp firing a powerful weapon? like a pre-nerfed t21, or t21 or laser rifle ???
