Rifleman Archive

it is a very popular combo and fairly effective in pvp and pve.

for a good overview check out the stickied basic rifleman templates thread at the top.

Would a Pikeman-Rifleman template be good for Pvp-pve both?. I just want like the def facts and specials details that would make it good or bad. Besides the fact that they are both awsomely cool professions styles and weapon wise I would like to know if it's better than fencer rifleman?.

its is VERY good in pve and ub3r in pvp if you have some nice mind fire to go along with a nice jawa but for pikeman to be truely ub3r you must speed cap it and get a nice pike 900 dmg + around

Was a really ncie template before they capped defenses, but is still nice. What i did when I had it, was use the rifles strafe or flushing shots at range and then when breaking into the base or unable to get out of melee range I would switch tothe pike and rain dots on them. Its also very good if you start out with the pike (using dots of course since dots are kind of nescesarry now) and when those fires start getting kind of bad on your target and they break and run, pull out the rifels and kill them before they get out of range. I really liked this template before they added the delay too.

I enjoy Pike/Rifle along with TKA 4 0 0 0 and 2 0 3 0 Medic well until the CU anyway

Mpike/Mrifle/fencer 0400/medic 2130 would really ROCK in PvE and PvP if u would have speed cap on both and some accuracy tapes on pike. Thenuse somegood mindDoT pikes and after that equip a rifle andspam headshot in PvP . That would be so ub4h

Gives you very good defenses: Defence vs. knockdown +70, defence vs. dizzy +50, DEFENCE VS. POSTURE CHANGE +110!!!!

Okay now, I just recently picked up this combo and I love it. My variation is Mpike/Mrifle/Pistoleer 0040/Medic 0040. I find it to be indeed uber and in PVP and PVE. I am capped on speed with pikes and just use a 158 str mind fire and 166 str mind poison in PVP then I switch to the jawa if the opponent does not have a PSG on, if he does I switch to my T-21 and SS2 the PSG to death then switch to the jawa and blast away what little mind the person has. In PVE I find that pikes is amazing, i can take on a crap load of NS at once, which is something I could never do with Fencer or TKA.
