Been playing with my master rifleman for a month now. Over all I have to say it been great, except for the fact I can't find a good single target attack to use. It really don't make sences to me our best attack is Strafe 2 cone dmg, but we don't have a single attack of that power. I understandHead Shot 3 does kill single target faster but really not by much, and when you are in group it become pretty usless since health is what you need to target. I bring this up because everytime I amin Corvette or DWB I am stuck using the broken Surprise Shot when I know I can do so much more with Strafe 2 to speed up those long drag out fight. Yet I can't unless I want to just my group wipe out. I wish they will fix this ormake it so we can't shoot through wall.

Whenever I find myself Surprise Shotting a target in a cave, I always or near always just run through the battle to the other side and then Strafe2. You have to look for ways you can get those AoE's in there.

Surprise is the best single if you are capped with it but you may get better DPS out of Flurry1 if you are like me and sometimes don't always cap (Suprise Shot has a longer delay). If you have Master Marksman you are probably fine (or have SEA's enough)

I am speed cap, but the fact Surprise Shot is 3.5x dmg vs Strafe Shot 2 is 5x. That's a big difference.

heh even worse 
The more I think about it the funny it seem. We are call rifleman; the first thing that come to mind when I say that is a sniper or a hunter. Someone who is expert at taking down a single prey with least amount of risk, but in reality of SWGI feel like Rambo charging into fights with a60mm auto chaingun mounted on my arm wasting everything in front of me without even aiming.

Well if you want to get right down to it. a Rifleman is simple a normal infantry soldier. he would not be a sniper and he would not be packing a m60 more like a gerand rifle or M16 toss in a gernade or two ect.. but in this game that type of combat is given to commandos I,E Gernades. nad Carbiners I,E assult style weapons. full auto ect.

/agree i must admit my time so far i have felt like a 'machine gunner' more than a rifleman, but hey i dont expect the names to be completly accuarte for the proffesion.
for example, 'fencer' think long thin blade, game. rusty stick or police baton. but all and all i love the proffesion even if we're not ture 'riflemen' IMHO
oh btw i believe it is an M60 machine gun Rambo carries. hehe gotta love the bow and arrow with exploding heads though.
