Rifleman Archive

Ok, in the last couple of days I've had a few runins with various combat medics, in most cases the CM ended up looking down upon me.

I find it rather hard to land three or more good shots on their mind pool before they take out my mind with their poison, sometimes also dotting me with health poison ... in which case I am a sitting duck.

I've looked at some of the posts over at the CM forum, there they say that they are still able to apply their poison at range 64m? So what should my tactic be when encountering one? Normally they do not have their CM tag under their name, so until they throw something at me I have no clue what class they really are.

I've tried to switch to my laser rifle and shooting without specials with 0 mind on me, but that still doesn't do enough damage to drop them.

Any useful tips you might have?

Become another combat medic

the trick is to Muon yourself and pump every headshots you got out of your body into that combat medic.....I killed a combat medic that way even while a TKA was still chasing me.......The Combat Medic first..rest later

Yeah CM's get me more than any other profession now. I use /equilibrium as I'm zabrak and muon gold. Kill the CM then as many others as I can till I'm just out of mind and I finally die.

aw crap, I always forget I have equilubrium just no free slot on my quickbar, hmmm

CM Here

I have a friend that I convinced to be a Master Riflemen. We duel sometimes.

The trick to fighting a CM is knowing what they are going to do. If you are aMaster Riflemen (and no other secondary combat class)and you are fighting a Master CM (and no other secondary combat class) then here is what you do. Something to remember is your MIND DPS is always going to be higher then his. Another thing to remember is they are going to try to get out of 64 meter range of you. Lastly don't try to kite the CM if you are already poisoned.

For 1 on 1 pvp

1. If you are *not* in a city you need to attack him first. *Hit burst* and thenheadshot 2 until he is dead. Have amuon gold and/or a /equil hotkeyed.

2. If you are in a City find a corner maybe in a building and make him attack you really close, then when hes really close just move back a bit and kill him. Remember that your DPS is still higher then his.

For group pvp

3. Take the muon gold and chef mind buffs with you and leave your group at least 30 m behind you.Hitburst andtarget the CM first.Do a mind shot then head shots. You will most likely die but even if you dont incap him you cankeep him from healing his group and/or poisoning your group because he will have *low mind*. He will be useless then. After you die or incap him, bring the rest of your group up.

This is only for pure Master Riflemen vs Master CM. If you have a specific build then vs another specific build thats more complicated but still doable.

tho i am only a novic riflener i have found that finding food that puts up your focus can make it to were you have no mind ham cost at all

so just find some good food and you should be in god mod as you run arond spaming mind bleeds and finishing them off with a nice hed shot for no ham cost at all

it fells good to finly not have to wory about ppl kiting me (iv ben melee almost my entier game time max saposed rang attack that did any decint dam was 16 m flame singel 2 )

thanks, I'll try and remember that, problem is most don't have their CM tag out

if they are master, just examine them, they'll have the Master Combat Medic badge =P

along with maybe 20 other badges ... so checking that could take a while. If I got the time, sure I do it, but if not ... bugger
