I am a 3-3-4-3 rifleman. I want to know if/how a rifleman can do KD's.(PvE)
If you dizzy then try a posture change will they fall?
That aksed, i have tried many posture change shots and have never seen them being successfull. I use a krayt T-21 orKrayt laser. Is there a working knockdown type combo? I am tired of dying 10 seconds after getting aggro'd.

Do a flurry2 until they're dizzy
Fire a suppression fire (from marksman) to force them to kneeling - When they stand up, they should fall down.
If they dont stand on their own in a couple seconds, hit them with a flushing shot, and they should fall down.
(only works on NPCs, incase you didn't know)

Cool, thats what i was looking for. By NPOC only do you mean that it wint work on monsters? How about Tuskens? or does that mean only on the human type destroy missions?

It'll work against human npc's like tuskens, jawas, ewoks etc. I know krayt weapons are nice, but when you're trying to stick status effects, use a gun that has higher range mods - goes for pvp also. E11's are easily experimented up to 120 ideal, lasers to 114, dxr6's are all across the board (I've heard up to 179?). Like the first poster said, dizzy first then posture down, but sounds like you already know that. Once they try to stand back up they'll be wriggling like a fish.
Cheers,

By NPC's I believe he just means human types. That is because they tend to change position several times of their own accord, and usually you will see them KD themselves before you can put a posture change on them. This tactic can work in PvP but only if the person posture changes on their own, and how often do you see someone kneeling or prone in pvp? Suppresion fire can force a posture change on one person and if they are not paying attention might stand up on their own, but do not ever rely on this method. If you start reling on this psuedo KD you will find yourself dead before you ever get one in PvP, just thank the Force if you actually get one.

If appropriate, you can also Dizzy/move out of range. This works best for prone NPCs (not recalling too many that kneel). When they stand to chase you, they drop like said fish. It's fun
