Rifleman Archive

the only problem with moncals is they struggle to wear a full set of composite cause some of thier secondary stats can only be shifted to 450, but thier nice high mind is very usefull plus they dont look very intimidating, a big misatake when an impirial attacks!

ok so i should just keep my guy as a human then?

The human stat thing didnt start that way and will more than likely revert back to the orignal caps. Just some FYI for you.

Im thinking doctor (maybe combat medic ill have to decide), and mon cals are good at this due to the large bonus's to mind/mind regen bonuses. and from what i gather riflemen take alot of mind to be good so it seems moncals would be great for my plan but im wondering if theres something im missing?

I played a Moncal rifleman to mastery, and yes, the mind stats help out. Unfortunatly, humans are far superior because they can migrate secondary stats to 1000...1100? and this is better than any other race. I would reroll a human in a second if it would not bork my chance at fscs. Play a human. Be a doctor and migrate all your possible points into the mind stats, then buff the others, or get someone else to. A doctor is a great combo with any other class and a human doctor rifleman may be one of the most damage dealing set ups in the game. At master level, I could crank out 3-5k damage a second with specials, but my mind would be gone in 10 rounds, even with max mind stats as a Moncal. Human+buffs+food+muon gold ....I hope I never face that , or even try and hunt near by.

As a human I would like to remind everybody that our Max secondaires should return to 600 some time in the future.

So this 1100 focus, fun as it is, is a bug.

Our max focus will become 600, samewith willpower.

Also as a side note, the dev's don't advertise when they are going to fix bugs, this bug could last for months or could be fixed Monday. Sticking with a human for the stats is a gamble.If your going human, be one because you want to be an Imp.

Human riflewoman with 1100 mind, 1100 focus, 800 willpower. I couldn't agree more. Doc/rifleman is the only way to go in my opinion. when i take my ice cream, and some moen, i take no damage shooting headshot 3/strafe 2 while wearing my composite armor (350 encumb). I kill rancors before they reach me if i kneel first so that i get my free 3 shots. Doc/Rifle is just plain amazing.

My friend is planning a Master rifle/Pikeman/fencer. He is a human, and even though he is not a doc, he is going to put all his stats into mind, and figure he can find a doc to buff him (they are a dime a dozen on kettemoor). Now that is going to be bad news.

As far as self suficiency for a rifleman, human rifle/doc is the way to go.

Glad to hear you also think its a bug. psyco. A human with 1100 focus using musician buffs and/or foods can just spam rifle specials all the time, something really screwing up rifles balance.
