Respec to Rifleman today and was testing out some of the shots. One of the first things I noticed was there appeared to be no root attack. Am I missing something? Kneecap slows a target (but not noticably) so I was wondering if I just missed it?



All three accounts canceled as of January 2006.
Lagofar Refunds Requested.

So long and thanks for all the fish!

Kneecap shot needs looking at, as it is totally ineffective at the moment. It needs a slight increase in duration and a substantial increase in effect.

You can gain roots from Pistoleer(xxx1 or xxx3 for the Improved version) and Smuggler(I forget where). You can also pick up an area root in Carbineer and KD/Dizzy shots from BH(dizzy currently does bugger all).

If you want a rounded character, your best bet is MC/MBH, Carbines give you great area damage and crowd control, and BH gives you some nice 1v1 damage shots and the defense Carbineer lacks. MRM/MBH gives you decent defense and access to the best PvE armour(Assault), as well as all of the best 1v1 damage specials ingame other than Jedi, but you lack severely in Crowd Control unless you also dabble into Pistoleer.
