Unless you have an uber krayt jawa, its just hard to take prepared people down these days.
Has anyone started going back to the t21 or dxrb primarily for pvp yet?

Well since you are in Web, use a DOT. Oh and you should be a MCM also, so just let your poisons do the work.
I usually can tell in the fight what the guy is resistant to, and since I have all 4 of my rifles on my toolbar, I can switch midfight. Usually start off with jawa, because without the psg, you can still get through that helmet of his. If you have a high damage sliced t21, like I do, and our close to the speed cap, I would then try that.

PSG's are vulnerable to acid - I'd recommend switching to your dxr6 if they have stun armor and a psg. If you have a feeling it's going to be a long battle, you can destroy their PSG in about 20 hard strafes with a T21, but that's a lot of direct hits - a normal battle won't allow you to hit someone that many times. All comes back to the floatie damage adn figuring out whatequipment they haveand what risks you want to take I guess.

I have been advocating a T21 for ages, AP3 high damage cuts through stun/psg/comp armour easily in my experience. Especially if you have intimidate and they aren't hitting you as much. Btw you can intimidate at 64m even while holding a rifle

I dont think AP has any effect in PvP. I thought it was only working for PvE?

How come I cant do it further than 25m?

LMAO **edit** N00b... is what I want to say... but since you can't say stuff like that in the forums, I'll just say, be happy you have stun damage and that armor has only gotten up to 45% at all... and mind damage is the only kind of damage that is worth anything in pvp... so you have the best of both worlds. And being able to shoot 2x as fast as a master pistoleer at 4x the damage is nothing to be ashamed of eaither. Not to mention your ranged defence vs pistoleer accuracy means you never get hit by a pistoleer anyway. I just posted a screen shot of a master rifleman wasting me with master head shot because he was shooting 7 times per second. Exploite? Bug? I don't know, but it happens quite often. I've yet to come across an honest rifleman who doesn't admit the class needs major nerfage.

Which rifle attack intimidates?
Assuming this is a serious question and not sarcasm (I can't tell 
), /intimidate is a skill gained at Novice Brawler. It isn't a Rifleman skill, butshould be useable while holding a rifle.

Yes, although I don't PVP regularily I just PVP friends and guildies and most of the time I know what they wear and I still go with the T21 or DXR6b, FAR too many PVPers/Overts these days rely too heavily on stun weapons like the Jawa and Sonic and they're going to start losing real soon.
And that intimidate while holding a rifle is interesting, I've never tried it but will.

I have two toons, one is a master rifleman/master doc and the other is a pistoleer. Yeah, I know how broken pistoleer is but don't call for a nerf because pistoleer is so broken. Stop asking for a rifleman nerf and start asking for pistoleer love.

O.K. you've "kind of" made your point. Now go back to badgering the CM's or learn how to play your own proffesion. No one likes a troll.
