im giving up. what are we realy supposed to do against BHs spamming eyeshot, combat medics with poison and disease, commandos with flamethrowers, pistoleers with one-hit kills?

im lucky to get off a decent hit with my t21 every 3 seconds. by that time, im dead to any of the affore mentioned attacks.

im done with rifleman. time to join the masses and go BH. is there a reason i shouldnt?

dont drop all your rifle skills

im just grinding for master, waiting for the one hit strafe shot 2 kills (its happened to me alot)

make a new character on another server, gear him towards BH (or commando)

you wont have as much money, but you can set him up right (and set your stats, less into mind, more into quickness so you dont drain so much action, and more into strength if ur commando cuz they drain so much health) and when u get bored with playing the BH after a while or theres a lull in your attention, go back to your rifle character

you're rebel, its not half as bad as being an imperial, because we are outnumbered atleast 2:1 on all servers

well im 3/1/4/2 now. next step is ranged DB. i might actualy be able to hide and just sit back and get faction points in a PvP fight.

lol yeah right, like ill be able to resist shooting at an imp and gettin dead.

no way

a CH will see you and lick their lips and go "mmmm a rifleman trying to hide! Fresh meat! Timeto administersome 2.5x melee damage one-hit loving from my Graul!"

one hits in PvP????

ahhh those were the days. till the decided only riflemen shouldnt be alowd to onehit in PvP.

i want some o what these devs are smokin. its gotta be good shn1t.

nah i ment that we get one hited by every CH pet due to 2.5x melee damage when holding a rifle

yeah i remember when pvp damage was 100% instead of 25%.. was about 2-4 months ago.

I could one hit people with small mind pools, or even 3 hit them. The devs were nervous about one hit kills, so they scaled down pvp damage to 25%.

But while everyone was effected, pistols still shot much faster. So now pistoleers/BH pistols/smugglers could just charge you and kill you without geting scratched becuase they cant get one hitted anymore. They shoot you 4 or 5 times for one time you fire, and then you miss becuase you have -50 accuracy modifier.

And then the devs added in commandos with one-hit kill weapons and mass wounds. And one-hit-kill LLCs. Right. That makes sense.

And lets not forget that pets still hit for full damage in PvP.

I feel I do more than ok in PvP. I currently get about a 10 to 1 kill to death ratio with my best being 140 - 7 in one night.I sit around50/50 solo against Pistoleer / BH pistol people,howeveronce I finishdoctor I expect to do better. (If they ever fix mind buffs while being doctor buffed that is.)

Having said that it's getting a lot harder since overt Imperials are becomming about as common as Holocrons and everyone has started wearing high quality composite.

id do better in PvP if my guns didnt drain so much mind. i find i hurt myself more than i hurt my target.

why did they not scale down HAM costs along side damage in PvP. thats what broke it for us.

Whats all this about composite? Get a good jawa ion cannon <5 speed 250+ max dmg Mind shot stack with a T-21/lsr rifleat range and lay into them with the jic. Sides jic only takes about 70ish mind when I dont wear a helmet. Not bad... for a rifle =|
