Hey all, haven't seen me around much lately cause I dropped rifleman a while back to finally master dancer (yay)


After doing so I was quickly reminded why I mastered rifle in the first place...


TIPS SUCK!!!


So I grab my master artisan, merchant, and CH alt and tell her she's becoming a MRM/CH instead, cause I HATE crafting.


So I dust off my old rifles and root around in my bank account to see what skill tapes I have available to make it easier this time...


1 +10 armor

1 +3 armor

1 +1 armor


That's in addition to my original +7 rifle speed outfit. Unfortunately I had +1 rifle speed on a shirt, and needed to put that +10 speed armor attach I had on a ubese shirt, so I kinda lost that. Threw the other pieces on a padded glove and bracerI had and went out and killed stuff. I must admit its a lot easier with MCH and some uber BE pets (CL 31/32 with 11.7k H 9k AM light armor 60% kinetic hitting average of 480). Throw pets at piket lair, comence to HS2 from 60m until piket dead, repeat.


Oh, those new harvest droids are super too. Got a macro that tells it to harvest every 2 seconds so I don't even have to think about it, piket dies, droid goes off and harvests meat while I move on to next piket.


Only 0021 right now but with the speed tapes its like I'm 0023.


Oh, that also reminds me... grinding without an AE attack sucks... bad. Can't wait till I get flushing 2 tomorow and start really tearing up some pickets.

Hi,

Try - Throw pets at Piket or Rancor lair, wait for targets to group attack on pet - Advanced Strafe Shot.

You don't need +20 rifle speed. Currently it caps out at +97.

98 for really slow guns, notice I said GRIND rifleman


I was a novice marksman with +25 rifle speed, granted I won't need the full +20 when I hit master, but when you're 0031 shooting like you're 0033 it's kinda nice

What kind of weapon are you using?

I came in at 0003 because I had that 300K unused combat xp from mastering TK and Brawler (which was sooo much fun!).

I've been using a 3.5 T-21 with speedpowerups and a spraystick if they get up close. Compared to TK/Brawler is seems sooooo slow.

I love it just the same.

Anyway, I've been doing endless quenkers. What else is a fun to do?

I use a speed sliced laser (not the best but all the weapons I spent millions on when I was master rifle are all damage sliced). I don't use powerups cause I get tired of having to keep replacing them and I don't feel like searching for another speed sliced laser

I mastered Rifleman in 3 sets of buffs with time to spare from novice to master with my +23 speed.... First buy a crate of grenades you can use, get into a big group and get savage quenker missions on Dant. In a big group you get 5 quenkers spawning.


Throw grenades like a madman til a few of the quenkers die then pick them off, make sure you gotall of themaggroing you, hit the nest, repeat... You will get to 0004 and get the same speed as you would haveat master in under one buff.After that head off to endor and just headshot everything up to 4004(the accuracy helps a lot). After this you should get about 1 million exp per hour if you find decent spawns, imo Endor is the best.


So 3 sets of buffs including travelling to get training, with time to spare.
