Well, I up an surrendered all my rifleman skills yesterday. I'm more of a solo player, and whilte trying to get rifle XP I'vebeen forced to fall back on my pistol so much that I've managed to reach BH Pistol 4 and save up an aditional 500k pistol XP, without even really trying. So I decided to free up some skill points by droping rifleand use my saved pistol XP to get a few quick boxes of Pistoleer. The only thing I'll miss from Rifleman is the high damage mind bleeds, but with the pistol skills I got, I can still light a target on fire and hit it with Health Shot 2 and Health Shot 1 all in only 3 seconds, and still get off another half dozen hard hitting Torso Shots before the MOB even spots me. So I guess I have officially joined the ranks of BH/Pistoleer power gamers. Have fun all of you.

Lettin us remaining few down man, lettin us down.



- As I see it, Sony has until July 31st 2004 to pull content, balance and most importantly "fun" out of a hat and into the game for me. I guess I can list "buying a non-refundable year's subscription" down as one of the dumbest decisions made in my life. Congradulations SoE, you took 200 bucks from me. -

well i made a character on another server...gearing him towards carabineer/BH, I also want to try for the holocrons with him (no way I'm gonna surrender my rifle skills with my main char when theyholocron tells me to master something stupid, the skillsthey took too long)


im having loads of fun with him.... good accuracy, can hit stuff in front of me... in grouping i get good, high damage random pool attacks like full auto so I can hit health and help my group as well as throwing on states like blind and stun.


its wierd, -50 accuracy with a rifle is completely different than -50 accuracy with a carabine. At3 boxes in carabiner marksman (!) i am hitting 1/2 of the time when I am moving and their near me (I have -50 accuracy). Try the same thing with a novice rifleman with 2 boxes in sniping accuracy as well a bunch of other skill boxes, and you're missing 1/8 of the time. Even masters.
