Rifleman Archive

I have a question on what profession to aquire besides master rifleman. For the most part I enjoy soloing, so I decided to go Master Rifleman / Master Creature Handler. But with the upcomming changes, I was wondering if it would be better to take another profession other than creature handler.

For now, I plan to use CH until I master Rifleman, still have a ways to go, but after I do, I am not sure if I will keep CH. In the few times that I do group I find that either a ranger or a doctor is needed so I am leaning towards those, but I am not sure.

Should I stay with CH or should I drop it eventually and choose another profession. Thanks for any advice.

It really depends on what you are doing.

The most popular ones I have seen are CH, Doctor, Two-Hand Swords, and Ranger. TKA is pretty poppular also though.

I went with two-hand swords for a while but everyone would just kite me so I ended up dropping it. I hear there are some range extensions for melee fighters on TC though so it may be worth it soon. I am going for doc now. A lot of people go for CH though because of the ability to tank things. Rangers have mask scent and can track things which makes them great for comboing up with rifles. TKA is a pretty popular choice also. I have no idea why but I am assuming for defensive bonuses.

I probably left several things out though.

I almost forgot. Doc is great for buffs and two-hand swords has mind attacks also. Oh also forgot that TKA has a line of mind attacks as well.

i am going mst swordsman+mst rifleman but after seeing this i think ranger or ch might be cool,but ch is soo common its like pet wars

see my sig,

Now I picked up Master Marksman for the speed bonus and pistol skills (backup) and since I'm already a Ranger I need master scout so f-it grabbed Novice BH for LLC + Scatter Certs. Grabbed Novice Pistol for HS2 and Dx2 Cert

I personally am fed up with the wild nerfing crap. So I will stay a rifleman , Untill they bend that over at which time I just pick up Pistol or Carb. Or dump all but Master Sharp and rifleboxes in marksman and Re-Master Ranger.

One patch 3 month of work down the pooper

Well I was thinking about,

Master Rifleman, Doctor 0/4/0/0, and Combat Medic 4/3/0/4

Whenever I group it is always when hunting something big, like Kryats on tat. Now with this configuration, I can'tcraft my own stuff, which is acceptable, I can always just buy what I need and money isn't really a concern.

The problem I see is when I solo.With all the mob's being social, I need something to tank in front of me. Since non-ch pets are going to lvl 10, there is nothing that can really tank for me. Of course with the new fixes for rifleman, this may not really be aproblem.

I went Master Marksman- Doctor 0/4/3/0 - CM 4/0/0/4

Could probably drop the CM currently and still be as effective, but im waiting to see about this mind heal, if i could heal my own mind I will be unstopable. Not sure if SoE would allow a healing class to have basically infinate mind... Ive seen stupider things though heh.

With all my ham stats shifted to mind/focus/will I walk around with full buffs on overt all the time and have died very few times... Biggest issue with rifleman is mind, i use alot, only people that scare me are players that can target the mind pool... with buffs you are so amazing. I love being able to stack 3 mind dots and change to the next rebel to kill. In big battles all i do is mind dot people, watch my mindbar and dont drop below half, and heal myself occasionally as soon as they drop snipershot. soak up all the faction.

I used high CH till master marksman though, just send in grual and flushing shot 2
