Thread: Question about PvP for Riflemen.
Use this to determine your rifle speed:
Rifle speed equation: Weapon Speed * Delay Modifier * (100 - Rifle Speed) / 100
When you get to 1.0 or less, you've hit the cap. You cannot fire faster than 1 shot per second. To fire SS2 with a T-21, you'll need ~+7 in rifle speed tapes. Using a Jawa Ion Rifle and HS3, it'll be a bit less.
300 Mind damage per shot in PvP sounds good to me. 1100 Mind + Musician/Dancer buffs + Muon + Food/Drink + PowerBoost= 3500+ Mind. That is about the maximum I think you'll have to expect to deal with. Most of the time, it should be significantly less. Assuming the worst situation, you'll need 12 shots (12 seconds if firing at speed cap)to take your opponent down. However, that doesn't take into account Focus (if they are using Mind for specials) and Willpower (which hopefully doesn't regen the Mind as fast/faster than you take it out).
For the most Mind damage per shot, you'll need a good Jawa Ion Rifle sliced for damage (35% would be nice) and a 16%min/33% max damage power-up. This will cause your rifle to wear out fast however, so use power-ups only if you have an opponent with heavy Mind migration.
