Rifleman Archive

Just a quick query as im about to embark on the rifleman profession.

Basically the way I'vestrolled through combat classes such as pistoleer and carbineer is to buy10 of the weaponswith a good damage rate and fairly decent rate of fire and med ham costs such as the dh17 carbine,have them all sliced, then usepowerups for speedand use overcharge2 until they breakwhilst in sharnaff groups not the most imaginative of waysI know but it gets the job done usually whithin a few days of play. Using this method has granted me around 3-4k for each sharnaff killedin the group while buffed of course.

As im new to this prof im looking for somone with a better knowlege of the weaponsto give me asuggestionfor a mediumrifle with decent damage/speed/ham-costs that i can use in a similar way to the dh17 as id like to get the weapons orderd/sliced/powerd and in service as soon as possible.

Bear in mindmax damage really isnt what im looking at but more of a smaller range between min and max with areasonable speed ham isnt really an issue as ill have master doc buffs and muon but obviously if theyre reasonable its a bonus.

Thanks in advance

T21's are great rifles. A little slow before the 4th speed box though.

I got one speed sliced and that helped for the first couple of levels.

Hmmm, Your plan sounds decent. I have ground up to 4244 hunting Torturs almost exclusively.

I just recently realized that I have some pretty wicked AoE attacks, startlingshot2 and flushingshot2 (you get this one at xx3x).

My new strategy is to get a couple of Tortur Missons, send the pet to attack the lair and AoE until there are about 10-12 corpses around the lair. You can 1-3 shot pretty much ever tortur that spawns, and you nail all of them at the same time. It's actualy quite fun.

I will probably do to Dant and try the same thing on Quenkers, the xp is supposed to be good there.

P.S. I used Combat Medic skills to do the Combat XP in a few days.

Thanks for the reply,

Ill get a few T21s so soon asI hit novice and just use a few generic riflesuntil then.

A plus point at the moment isI have combat experiance maxed from my previous profession so ill achieve x/x/x/3fairly quickly then hitthe sharnaff groups till i have enough skill to solo the missions as you say ...now its just matter of findinga master smuggler and doc online on the euro servers!

I might as well keep this updated asI progress

here is a good way even at novice........

Get buffs a couple crates of muon, fishak, and then go to dant and get savage quelunkers. you can take them out in 3 headshots and they are 3900 xp and they dont kill you if they do get close enough.
