Use area attacks, they don't seem to suffer short range to-hit penalties that we suffer with other attacks under 20 or 25 meters.


Havea hotkey for your gun, take your gun off in between shots. Hit the hotkey to put on your weapon, hit your flushing shot 2 (or whatever) macro, hit your hotkey weapon to take it back off. Helps avoid the 2.5x multiplier.

Ok, so I'm a 2-0-0-1 Rifleman, very early I know, but I can still hold my own pretty well. Give me some distance, and even large stuff go down to my T-21 (its like... pre-pre-nerf, but not quite pre-pre-pre-pre nerf... or something...) I live on Talus, so its mostly Torturs and Huf Dun. No problemo. But, when it comes to VYNOCKS, then I'm screwed. Those little buggers get me every time. I just can't hit them! Point Blank Shot helps, somewhat. Are there any rifles that are descent even at point blank range? I seem to recall Spraysticks being the best choice for that, but I don't know for sure.


Ideally, of course, I learn to fight with a pistol, but the way my points are spread out, it won't happen, so don't suggest that

PVP I'm less worried about, because if I involve myself in it, it will be with large groups of people, so I will be providing more support than assault. I simply can't take on little creatures, and I'm just about out of skill points (rifle isn't getting any further). Ah well, I'll use Point Blank Shot with my Spraystick and pray...
