Rifleman Archive

I am currently a rifleman 4-0-3-2, master scout, master ranger and I am getting upset that my character seems to fair poorly in pvp. I think I have come up with a solution. I am considering dropping Ranger (almost useless class IMO) and all if not most of scout so that I can get novice pikeman and go up the tree that increases blocking skill. Currently my blocking skill is at +55. I calculated the numbers and here is what I came up with: By the time I master Rifleman, my blocking skill will be at 80. Add what I get for going Pikeman and then up the Polearm defensive techniques line and I've got a total skill of 165 in blocking. I'm not sure how good this skill is, but I have NPC's throw blocks on me consistently and I think that if my skill is at +165 I'm bound to get a lot of blocks in in PVP, and the best part is that it is totally passive, it doesn't cost me any ham or time to get more blocks. I'd like to see what you guys think of this. Is there anyone who has tried this? Thanks.

I've been a master for weeks and have never seen myself block an attack in the combat log...

block doesnt work right now. but counterattack does, a master carbineer counterattacks about... o... 1outa every3-4 shots.

Well that is bull crap that it doesn't work! Man it is really annoying seeing the potential that this game has and yet it doesn't get taken advantage of cuz it don't freakin work.
