Rifleman Archive

I've been playing since launch, but only now have I started checking creatures' stats before attacking and choosing my weapon accordingly. Wow! Why didn't I do this before!? You'd be amazed at how many creatures are vulnerable to stun (at least on Dantooine). My jawa ion rifle is much easier on the HAM and does a great job against these mobs, compared to my laser or T21. If you have enough scout skill to see it, get to know the weaknesses of your targets before you go into battle. It really helps, and it will get you out of the rut of using the same weapon all the time.

lol then ya retarded lol.

ya it is grate also remaber gaud0 if its vunrabel that meens you cut threw any armor + do 2x the dam vunrabilaty is a wounderfull thing expt in pvp if some one is wareing comp armor thats stun vunrabel that meens your jawa iron rifle will do 2x the dam to them cool ant it

its too bad ions suck on damage

My Ion is good, and loves to rip everything apart on Dant.

These days in PvP you have to watch out for Mitigation 3 on Master level players. I've found if your weapon has a high range you end up doing almost no damage.

Yes, always /examine your Targets... Even, ones of Different types. Like Pickets, Picket Long Horns, Fierce Picket protectors.. all have different resistances..

I always examine targets and Equip the best weapon for the Job.

And, yeah, with Damage Mitigation... that low spread E11 or Ion will out damage a Laser Rifle in PvP...

Good stuff guys..

Too bad good E11s are a pain to produce, or so I hear. Haven't seen an E11 on my server that compares to those shown on the boards from other servers. On the other hand, jawas on my server have only gotten better. Many weaponsmith know how to get advanced components in them without affecting the ham costs.

see on naritus getting a good jawa ion depends on the weaponsmith and how long they have been around, on my server a good weaponsmith can hit 5.5 spd and 120's to 230's damage base, however seems with all ionns i have ever had a damage slice is rare. Like i spent 200k just to get a good damage slice, took 10 **edit** ions to get a damage slice, however prolly my crappy luck. wilth the 32% damage slice it was at 5.5 spd and 303 damage. with a powerup i make at 33.16% max and 16.33% min damage it is like 190 to 402 damage i think. at 5.5 spd. just thought i would let you know that a jawa can be a good rifle with the right equipment.

Ions can be sliced and poweruped to some good damage. Seen some with 200-400 min-max damage, not that bad IMO.

Don't forget our cold damage riffle SG82. Really blows up some creature.

Im taking up Rifleman after mastering carbineer and pistoleer. So far it is a lot of fun, and im lovin having cold and stun damage (well decent stun... the stun pistol blows IMO). it is just roxor. However, it is unfortuante that our primary rifles (t21, laser, e11, and dlt20a) are all energy damage. However, the Ion rifle and the SG82 seem to make up for it fairly well.

most of the mobs on Endor are vunerable to stun too - the ion rifle cuts right through them

shame my ion rifle is rubbish
