Rifleman Archive

said Master Rifleman. So... here I am seeking some advice. I was a BH as you can see by my tag and I'm not sure what skills I should drop/pickup to be an effective rifleman. Do I need a pet?

Any other advice would be much appreciated, I was never a rifle using type of person, but oh well diversity is fun I guess.

At novice rifleman, a pet to tank is a definite bonus - a rock beetle or something of the like will do great.

Start with the sniping accuracy tree - get the second box, then begin moving to master counter-sniping for flushing shot 2 (and the Gunner title). After that, you have two choices. For PVP, finish the sniping tree for Sniper Shot (ranged deathblow), otherwise you might get more use out of the concealment tree. The whole time you'll be getting combat XP, which is a huge help, since every box in special abilities adds +10 rifle speed.

Yes get ch a mauler can tank all the good high xp hunts with easy. The farthest i would go on snipping in the begging is the first box, then do counter snipping and master that now you got powerful aoe attacks which means the xp will be rolling in.

yeah and flushingshot2 is random pool so it hits health mostly which is what groups and pets usually hit

thanks for the input guys

get flushing shot 2 as fast as possible then get a mauler and send it in to attack lairs. once the mobs agro the mauler attack the layer yourself with flushing shot 2 at 55m out. this will take down multiple targets at the same time while not getting agro and the pet wont steal any xp. I believe the days of kiting are over sadly enough.

do AoE attacks do reduced damage to non-targets?

why woudl you attack the lair with your rifle anyway

Actually since they fixed conceal shot that is also one of the best skills to have now. Works on just about everything.
