Rifleman Archive

You really should master the profession before going out and PvPing, you'll notice a huge difference in your DPS and accuracy. After that a good Jawa Ion rifle and T21 is all you need in your arsenal. You'll want a T21 that's stocked for PvP and sliced for damage. Your Jawa will need to be the same. When you go into PvP agianst stacked defense junkies use Flushing shot 2 until their stunned then break out with Adv. Strafe or continue flushing shot. If you have Brawler dont be afraid to get close and personal. Warcry them or intimidate them (intimidate kills counter-attack, dodge, block. )

Hopefully this helps some, and good luck!

Yeah, that Master box is killer...4444 is like half as good as when you get that Master box

how come riflemen have it much harder at PvE than other classes so XP is slower and they also have to wait untill master to PvP unlike the other classes?

Why? I honestly dont know. Perhaps it's the speed factor. I guess they think everyone couples Master Marksman with Rifleman (and that dont even help much). Once you hit master though you'll outdo a Master Pistoleer and can pick off Carbineer's if they're not buffed and stacked with 2 handed swordsman like all of 'em on my server are. I understand your pain, though. Tuff it out though, it's worth it!

As a wookie I can't wear armor wish i could but then again i have great hams and being a doc i can buff myself or 2k or more. I was spaming the headshot3 so that may be my mistake there. I will try the flushingshot2 that I have and flurryshot2 as well.

I can buff myself and take bradny with baviliro however you spell it lol it stacks and there is no downer if i get hitting in my mind I down a gold which brings it back up but the downer is non exists because of the food and drink

Thank you all for you support and help

It looks like you got a good start with your mind buffs icetor, buffing the mind is key to pvp. I'm a human but still haven't taken advantage of armor so I'm in the same boat as you there. I do fairly well in PVP without it. If you pick up some medic skills so you can use stim c's or D's you can get stims that will heal 1k+ health and action and that comes in handy.



The only other advice I have for you is to not rely on your T21 too much for pvp. Sure it packs a nasty punch to people not in armor, but it also makes you a huge target and is very inacurate. Even with all my accuracy bonus I have a hard time hitting the high ranged defence characters with my T21. Try switching to the jawa or e-11 to put a stun on before going to the T21. Once the stun sticks switch to the T-21 if they don't have armor. You won't miss at that point and can dish out some serious dps. A rifleman and a BH/carbine or BH/pistol hybrid are the only ranged professions that have enough accuracy to hit those high ranged D characters so your whole team needs you to stick that stun asap. Toss some aims in there for added accuracy if you need to.

Thank you all again I have never had this much response on any other form you guys rock!

Also is Wookie Roar the same as warcry or does it do the same effect on the double stackers

also I already been killed a couple of times that way so yea I do stay away from the blue dots and keep my eye out for more as well I trun my overhead map on too

I can take a person down pretty quick with headshot2 and or 3 if they don't know where I am sniping from and come looking for me lol loI

I have a pretty good idea on how to plan my attacks thank you all so much I made many friends in PVP and I made a few enmies too lol those who cry wolf causethey die and not take the time to learn what their professions does best and how to work that skill to their advanges

I glad I took the time to post here and see what is the best way for a rifleman I been reading up on all forms as much as i can and talking to others in the game

Thank you all again

Thank you all for the advice and help I hope to get better in pvp i don't want to rule i just want to last more then 2 seconds lol lol

I was also told that the doulbe stacking professions are goin to be changed I don't to see things get nerfted cause i know how it feels to be in a profession and it gets nerfted so bad that i gave it up and was one of the best at it for a long time till it go nerted then it was not enjoyable for me to play that profession.

I feel like SOE should fix what is not working instead of nerfting however in extreme cases i can see the reasons for the nerfts but in extreme cases thu.

I agree with the suggestion not to put too much emphasis on the T21, but I disagree with the contention that you should not use HS2 or HS3.

If they are unarmored, the T21 is almost always going to be the better choice. If they are armored, the Jawa is usually going to be the better choice. Keep the E11 handy for when you are running low on HAM. But even then, do not get fixated on weapon vs. apparent situation. Check your damage. If it seems low, try a different weapon. There is no magic weapon that works in every situation.

But to limit yourself to just using random pool attacks is not wise. Yes, hitting someone with HS2 or HS3 will alert them that they are being attacked by a rifleman, but all it takes is a quick look at the combat log and a little knowledge of the names of the variousattacks, and they will know that anyway. Besides, random pool attacks are mostly healable, and hitting multiple targets means you get whole crowds of people chasing you rather than just one. Yes, you can incap people other than your target, but you can also be attacking highly buffed pools rather than the most neglected pool in the game.

Just like with the rifle selection, choose your target, assess their HAM setup, and attack accordingly. And even if you are going to use HS2 or HS3, it can't hurt to Stun them first.
