Speed with Rifleman.... Ok i am now a 4104 rifleman...I have +75 as my rifle speed. Can someone do the math for me? I am using a speed sliced T21 that has 5.3 Speed. (3.5 with powerup but i don't need them anymore.) Since i got xxx4 my speed has hugely increased. I am also master marksman. It seems even with this slow weapon i fire every second or 1.5 seconds. (even with HS3). How is this possible? what way does the +10 etc work. What does +10 actually do? like +0.1 of a second faster or something? What does my +75 speed do? make my gun 75% faster? I'm confused. And second question is this. I am going to be hunting Krayts as my main aim in this game as a master rifleman. What profession should i use to back it up? (Not Master Doctor)... Thanks

speed works as a percentage speed reduction of (the time delay of a special x the speed of the weapon)

so 75 means it takes 25% of the time it normally would, 85 speed would mean 15% of the normal time.


no flames here but you really should read the Rifleman faq and the New Rifleman Faq as this is explained in there.

The speed mod you get from the profession is a percent reduction. So you have a 75% reduction in the base speed. However when you use specials they have a delay modifier that increases the time it takes. Delay mods are listed in the FAQ.


For your weapon you have a modified base speed of 1.325 ((100 - 75) / 100 * 5.3). HS3 shows a delay mod of 2X. So you should only be firing that weapon at 2.65 seconds with your current mods. If you have SEAs I'm not sure if they show up under your skill mods so if you have them your actual Rifle Speed mod may be higher. Also do you have FS Melee Speed mods? Those are also effecting FS Ranged weapons (last I checked) so that could account for the discrepancy also.


I've heard Swordsman is good for Krayts. Plus both Swordsman and Rifles have Mind targeting abilities so they compliment each other well.
