Rifleman Archive
Thread: I have a few questions...
I've accually been a rifleman for a very long time... I've just taken it very slowly. (I've fought exclusively with a rifle since day 2 of the release... i'm currently 2.0.0.0 LoL.)
I just got head shot 3. I just learned Bleeds can Stack, and just learned that e11 have mid ap, and i JUST figured out what that means...lol.
Now you may be wondering, "is this guy slow on the uptake or what?"
Well you see, rifle has always been my secondary skill. At first, i was a crafter... for about a month and a half...but i just couldn't take the grind anymore, so i shifted my MAJOR as it were, to ....(plz don't hate me.) CH. Why?My name, KingSnake, may giveyou a hint. I love animals, i rasise snakes, own dogs, cats,turtles...ect, so it just kind of seemed to fit...
Anyway, my basic tatic has been tosend my Grual orDesert Vesp to tank, and i shot the crap out of the enemy. Lately, with stacked bleeds, and AP rounds, i've been doing some truly impressive things, but i feel i'm missing out onwhat myrifle has to offer...SO
I was wondering, what do the rest of the SP attacks DO exectaly, and how do i use them effectivly?
I have maxed out guardsman skills. (Ranged Support) Is that helping me any? I think so, for the Def, and extra allertness...buti'd like youroption...
My guns are a good DLT20A (2 of them)an okand a really good E11. and a sweet LR. I'm working up the cashtoget a T21...
Basicly i'm looking for advice on using the rest of my Rifle skills. Basic tactics. I'm going for rifleman master,so idon't want to waste all the other shots i have to use, but i'm not sure how or why to use them..
(I'm basicly looking for general advice...)
I'm set up like this.
MMrifle, RS 4 CH 2 2 2 3 RM 2 0 0 0 Medic 3 2 3 0
And advice will be muchapprecaited.

Hmm. Well you already know that Mind shot 1 and 2 stack, and you have the full 4 boxes of ranged support.
There are a few things you can do.
For your mind shots, you can either use your laser rifle to gamble at getting those nice 1k bleeds (or thereabouts), or you can use your dlt20a to make sure you at elast get about 500 for MS2 and 300-350 for MS1.
Use warning shot against meleers, especially if you get a fast spraystick. (2 seconds or less)
Head shot until dead.
Recently I found ravenous Tortons on Rori, where I would Mind Shot 2, Mind Shot 1 with a laser rifle, hit itonce or twice with a normal or head shot, then as I lay incapacitated, I would watch is slowly bleed to death, giving me nice xp.
You really just have to try everything out, then try out combinations once you know how specific things work.
Also, read this board, lots of great stuff.
