Rifleman Archive

I hit Master Rifleman last weekend. I am playing a Zabrak. I am playing a Zabrak because when I made the char most people agreed this would be the best choice for riflemen because of the high willpower.

Apparently they changed something (october patch?) for Human chars. They can migrate their secondary stats up to 1100. My Zabrak is maxed at 500/900 focus/willpower. As other Masters will know, this is not enough to shoot at the high speed we attain with the last box. So, either I kill my target in a few shots (wich is very possible, I have to admit) and then rest some time to regen, or I have to use spice, foods/drinks or musician buffs.

Now I am thinking - if my rifleman was a Human with 1100/1100 focus/willpower, would I be able to shoot my specials significantly longer? So that I might be able to play without buffs? Or would it help, but I'd still have to rely on boosting myself?


So, can any Human Master Rifleman with amxed secondary mind attributes let me know how he does mind-wise? Or is there some formula which I can use to determine how good or bad my mind usage will be? Like, does 1100 instead of 500 focus mean half the special costs?

Thanks!

1st kazzx (or however you spell it) is lying me thinks. It is possible that his hams look like that, but he would have to be a wookie, which he did not state. Considering your question is aimed at humans he must be lying b/c I am human and I ran out of migration points at these stats:

health:400
strength:400
constitution:400
action:400
2ndary action1:400
2ndary action2:400
mind:1100
focus:1100
willpower:800

The lowest my health and action hams can go is 400, which leaves me 300 pnts of maxing all mind stats. With my acid visor on (80% protect against acid) my focus drops to around 950. With focus at 950 I can spam around 15-20 strafe 2's before I drain myself. I've once killed 6 ppl with 7 strafe 2's. I was fighting all 6 ppl at once, however only 3 of them were aware of my presence. I was using a 812 dmg laser rifle, which usually kills in 1.

If you took 100 points out of Mind and 100 points out of Focus, you'd have 200 points to put into Willpower.

Which would give you 1000/1000/1000, as kazzx claims he has.

So he's prolly not lying about it.

Yeah, 1000/1000/1000 is quite possible. I'd probably even go 800/1100/1100.

I'm just curious how much difference it would make. Probably not enough to make me create a new char and go through the rifle grinding again, but still... It looks like a pretty big advantage. Maybe I'll relocate my stats to 800/550/550, then get a Musician buff and give it a try

WHAAAA,im a rodian,ando proud of ir(check sig) but my mind can only go 1000/500/500 max.i want more mind stuff

I'm a wookiee and my stats aren't anywhere near that high on mind...and they're maxed...the substats are 650, and 600, and my mind bar is at 1100...I tihnk I'm not home so I can't check for sure.

wookie here as well - I took this race because I thought regeneration andmore ham I could put into mind will be more importantto me as a rifleman than armor - apparently not - human is the way to go

I guess human doc is the best way to go - 800 / 1200/1200 - sweet

Humans used to max at 600 focus and willpower, and I envied Zabraks soooo bad. Now that I'm the one with the mind points to spread around, I feel pretty bad for the other professions. I don't see why they've got to limit the stats in the first place.

1000/700/1000 for me by the way.

That's bullcrap. Zabraki are supposed to have the biggest mind pools in the game. It is unquestionable that we have the biggest willpower. Now humans, the jack off all trades, come along and have a beefier blue bar? Whatahell!!!

i am a doc/rifleman with 1000/1000/1000 mind/focus/willpower

i can almost always kill a whole lair on dantooine without running out of mind using head shot 3, i dont know the exact numbers, but it made a huge difference.

put it this way I'm owning eye spaming BH 70% of the time.
