Thread: New Master Rifleman (any tips?)
First off, just want to say Hi to all the other riflemen out there and to all the people who have helped 'Laffers' get there 
.
Just wondering if anyone could help me with things like good rifle weapon shops, best tactics for a master, holo loot places etc.
Im by no means a noob (honestly 
) but im sure there are a lot of things that i could learn from a few people me thinks.
Congrats.
-Group PVP raids are really fun
-Make sure you get all the Stats(including secondaries)you can doc buffed and eat corellian fried ice cream
-Don't let a TKA sneak up on you, thats bad
Remember to keep moving. TKMs and commandos are pretty easy to handle if you don't let them get close. Otherwise you'll get knocked down or flamed, both of which are very, very bad.
You'd be surprised how many rifleman think they are better off by staying still. In PvP, kite like a madman if it means keeping those melee guys at range (and as far as I'm concerned, having mastered it and dropped it, commando/flame single 2is really a melee profession).
Make friends with a doc so you can put all your stats into mind and get buffs for the other six stats. If you can't geta doc friend, consider becoming one yourself.
Save every penny and get a killer boomstick. Your goal should be to have one of the best weapons on your server.
Lastly, think long and hard about your other professions in terms of how they complement rifle. Study the templates of other successful rifleman.
Don't forget about alternative weapons to the T21.
Alot of folks have uber composite but most forget to get stun protection. So while an Jawa ion rifle doesn't hit hard it is stun and bypasses the composite. Right to the head /headshot3 and a good /mindshot2.
I believe it is the SG82 that does cold damage.
Enjoy the new found speed.
thanks for the tips so far, very much appreciated!
just wanna /bump this too.
