I would like to know some things about Rifleman.
1st off, what is the MAX dmg that any rifle can have.
2ndly, assuming I was a MBH, MRifleman + something else... for killing jedi, should i get a MBH Qualified Rifle? Or a Mrifleman Qualified rifle? Which do you think would be better for jedi hunting and why...if at all?
3rd...is there a "best rifle in the game", if so what is it? stats? Keep in mind..im a jedi hunter =)
I know this isn't easy to answer, but i am wondering...
Here are my respective answers to your questions (just my opinion, others will undoubdetly disagree):
1) I don't know of any rifle that has a max damage cap higher than 1184.5
2) Neither! The most powerful rifles in the game don't even require Master Rifleman. I'd go with an Advanced Laser Rifle or a crafted Trandoshan Hunter's Rifle.
3) The best rifles I own are my crafted Trando rifles, though I've seen Advanced Laser Rifles than come close. Including slicing, you can easily cap the max damage on on of those (at 1184), cap the SAC (at 82), and get very decent speed, and sometimes a hefty accuracy bonus. For kinetic damage, I think the best rifle is the LD-1. It doesn'tfire nearly as much damage as an energy rifle, but it can be better against kinetic-vulnerable targets.
2) i would go with a ld-1 becuase the LD-1 has kinetic that is most effective against jedi's
3) i use a ALR with 1048 damage but i have one with capped damage tough :/. and there is no best rifle in game.
The LD-1 comes from a quest you do on Kashyyyk, assuming you have the ROTW game expansion. LD-1 isn't an abbreviation for anything--that's the name of the rifle (I think it just shows up as "LD-1 Rifle" if I'm not mistaken, but I'm not in the game at the moment to check).
These rifles cannot be crafted--you can only get them from completing the mission (see the Game Guides forum for more info--I think it started with the chief at the Kerratamba Village if memory serves), or by buying them from somebody who did the mission. They are pretty rare on vendors on my server, and quite expensive when you can find them.
