Thread: If you could pick one tree in rifleman....
Personal preference would be in this order
1. Rifle Special Abilities ( rifle speed, melee defense, FlurryShot2 )
2. Counter-Sniping ( block, FlushingShot2 which has been my special of choice lately )
3. Sniping ( Rifle Accuracy, Aiming, Mind Shot2, Headshot3 which I hardly use anymore )
4. Concealment ( Conceal Shot and bonuses can be very nice for solo'ing, but not worth filling a whole tree for )
Im usually grouped so I prefer the heavy hitting AOE attacks over the mind shots. Your mileage may vary.
Being ins agroup I would recommendcounter-snipingthe defense bonuses you get from those plus the Area Effect Shot is a plus. When you are in a group usually you will be with carbineers or pistoleers and they will attack health and action.
If you are going to solo I wouldsay the Rifle Special Abilites would be the one to go to get the speed from the rifle. Also though getting going up the sniper tree would alos be good so you can get mindshot 2. With Mind 1 and 2 you can get some good bleeds, plus if you have an pet to tank, you can finish most mobs off with Headshot 2.
