Thread: Which level should I take next?
Okay. I'm new to the Rifleman business so bare with me..
Does "stacking" mean you do MS 1, then MS 2 and so forth? Does that mean you can't keep bleeding with MS 2 over and over? Does the MS shot only work once, hence the need to stack? Pleasae clarify this for me..
Thanks,

If you use the same bleed twice, say mindshot1, then mindshot1 again on the same mob, the damage value of the bleed is reset. If you use differnent bleeds, say mindshot2 then mindshot1, they both deal damage.

hmm not true..
ms1 has around 7 ticks of damage
ms2 is around 9.
The tick is started after the first ms is laid on the target.. any subsequent shots will change the value of the bleed tick - BUT ONLY - if it is higher than the previous tick.. you cant make a bleed worse by repeatidly shooting the target. The tick counter will stay the same untill it runs its original cycle of 7 or 9 ticks. So you cant keep adding ticks by shooting lots of Mindshots. Hope that helps.
Okay, thanks for the help. so I "Assume" that by 'ticks' you mean seconds before you can use bleed again, much like the 5 second pause for my TKA Unarmed Knockdown. Moving through Rifleman pretty quick as is---for those that need a combo suggestion---Master TKA and Doctor skills help a lot. Power Boost of TKA boosts HAM stats 1000 each, including mind, plus Doctor buffs make a Rifleman pretty lethal---far away and up close and personal.

nah, ticks is the occurances of bleeds.. ie i shoot a greater treewomble for mindshot1 666 pts.. it takes no initial damage (dont be alarmed.. this is normal).
after 10secs of hitting with the mindshot, the first tick hits and the womble takes 666 points of mind damage - this continues every10 seconds for another 6 times.. (for a grand total of 666x7=4662 points of damage, over a space of 70seconds).
whilst this is going on you are able to shoot with your other attacks. the trick is staying alive whilst your bleeds slowly eat away at the victim.. you can get 2 bleeds going at the same time by hitting with both mindshot 1 and mindshot 2.
