Rifleman Archive

I am interested in hearing what FS skills (if any) that all of us riflemen have and think are most important. For anybody interested in participating, please post your template, which FS skills you have completed (i.e., learned, not just unlocked), and what FS skill mod bonuses these give you(for your rifleman toon only, if you have more than one). Posting your template may help people who have similar templates decide what are the best FS skills to pick up. I'll compile and summarize the results when the thread seems to fizzle out. Any commentary on why you feel these FS skills are important for your templateis very welcome.

Here is the answer for myself (showing an example of whatinfo Iam looking for): I am Master Rifleman, Master Bounty Hunter, 4000 Combat Medic, and I have FS Melee Defense III, or a total FS melee defense bonus of +15. That's all I have the skill points I have available, so I can't add any more.

I chose this branch because my Melee Defense was the weakest stat on my control-C window (and also because I had already completed it pre-CU). I am considering switching these over to Ranged Speed or Accuracy, so I am interested in hearing what people feel is important. Unfortunately the bonuses for those branches are only +3 per box, so i don't know if it's worth it.

I'm concurrently running the equivalent survey in the Bounty Hunter forum, for anyone who's interested.

Master Rifleman

Master Bounty Hunter

2000 Combat Medic

FS Ranged Speed 4

FS Ranged Accuracy 4

Are they worth it? I dunno really as I've never been a hard numbers cruncher in this game. If I didn't have these FS trees trained up I would have 4000 CM and2 of my last 3 skillpoints in another box in Medic. To me, the additional gen ranged speed and acc were better choices for my role as a damage dealer.

As a note on my general overall insanity with rifle mods, my armor/clothing mods are +25 rifle speed, +25 rifle acc, +25 rifle defense, +25 ranged defense, +25 melee defense, +25 healing efficiency, +25 general ranged accuracy and i'm working on maxing TN and GRS now.
