Ok, so we had 7 level 80 master rifleman. we all spaced out and covered. (we were rebel special forces). then we had our rabbit, a level 80 pistols/doc find an imp SF and lure im to where we where hiding. we all di our cover shot at the same time and it dropped the imp with one hit. you can also do sniper shot, because if it kills him with one hit it doesnt matter if you uncloak or not.

We had a good 30-45 min stand off once in a mass pvp battle with rifleman dominating. There were several rifleman on each side, with a narrow gap for the attacking force to squeeze through.Whoever came within 60-80mof that gap from either side were completely lumped. Obviously roots played a big role.
I was proud to be on my rifleman char that day. Was really good fun.

That would be cool to do. Unfortunately it is much, much easier for me to group with 7 Jedi then to find something as rare and obscure as a rifleman.

i fail to see how 8 riflemen would be more effective than 8 jedi... sure 8 rifleman can 1-shot someone if they all get off a snipershot at the same time, but 4-5 jedi can do the same thing, with advanced saber throw... and they don't have take all that time to set it up. As far as rifleman being dominant in standoff PvP... when turrents are involved, this is somewhat true, but since turrets are only a factor on PvE bases, this isn't an issue in most situations, sure you'll take out 2-3 targets coming in, but the distance *will* close, and then the jedi and melee will make up for the losses very quickly by killing the vulnerable riflemen in 2-3 hits.

rifleman can cover and shootfrom 64m before the jedis start noticing
and yes 8 powerful AOE'rs should look quite nice too

yup one shot, then the jedi's heal thier fallen comarde, force run, and close the distance before the riflemen are able to fire a second. =)

Only if they know where its coming from. And in the time it would take to heal, they would be incapped too.

There were no turrets. Only 2 largeforces with experienced rifleman. Once off thing, where the situation determined what was going on. The battle obviously developed and a massive rush from the imps broke the stand off. It wasn't a case of 8 rifleman vs 8 jedi. Obviously a wide range of multi skilled temps in *mass* pvp battles have no bearing anymore??

are you kidding me? the firing rate of conceal and snipershot is horrendous, 3 jedi can instantly bring 1 jedi to full heath.. As far as figuting out where it's coming from, you only need to look in teh direction the bolts are coming from, worst case scenerio they'll figure it out after two volleys, thenforcerun will close that distance in seconds.

i understand that, all i'm saying is that the side that has more riflemen has a very small, v ery temporary advantage, and the side that has more jedi has a significant longterm advantage as soon as it chooses to close the distance. the difference of 1-2 players in a large group battle won't mean much, but if one side has say 5 riflemen and 15 jedi, and the other side has 10 riflemen and 10 jedi, the side with 15 jedi is at a distinct advantage. Yes, i'm aware there were probley classes there besides jedi and riflemen, but there presents is irrealavent to the point i'm making.
