Rifleman Archive

I want to become a rifleman and i was wondering what is a good HAM setup. I am currently a human and was thinking on 400/400/400/400/400/400 then a variation of 800/1000/1000 1000/800/1000 etc.

In your opinion what do you think would be most effective for a pvp build?

Thanks Alot

*looks around for suggestions*

I am aninexperienced PvPer, so take my suggestions in context of who they're coming from.

My idea is that the 400s for health and action secondaries should be fine--in general, you'll want to be buffed in PvP anyway and buffs will take care of these (doctor buffs can boost your secondaries by thousands, easily). However, you won't want 400s for your mind secondaries because any armor you wear (especially a helmet)will encumber these mind secondaries below 400, and even if armor didn't encumber, 400 is not an acceptable mind secondary for PvP if you're a rifleman. Musician mind buffs can increase these secondaries by a percentage, up to double--and that is another reason why you want them higher, because the higher your base secondary, the greater the increase you will get from a musician mind buff.

In my opinion, you want your mind secondaries to be at least 480 and your primary mind pool at least 900. You don't need 1000 health or action if you're going to be buffed (which I highly recommend if you really want to win). I think 900 for health and action would be plenty and you might not even need that much.

by 1100/800/1100 i mean mind attributes not health and action =P everything else was 400/400/400/400/400/400

Get your focus so that you can reach 1500+ by popping a muon and/or some brandy. At that point you have 0 mind cost. You heard me right zero cost. Befriend a doctor if you feel the other stats are way too low but if you can kill the mob before it reaches you who needs health right?
