Rifleman Archive

I am sorry we are Rifleman the baddest mofo's in this game, we do the most damage(even more then them silly jeedai, I have one so I know from personal experience, except on CERTAIN few mobs). Can you not be brave and learn to rifle tank an elder? Instead of running like a mama's boy! Get out there kill stuff but do it knowing you are better then an NPC, you can outsmart them you are human they are a machine they think in pattern. Conceal shot a juvie krayt???? ARE YOU KIDDING ME, its like 12 hs3 with dxr6b to a juvie, only thing I dont mess with is an ancient for the sheer fact that they have 95% resists and I will be there all day, giants dizzy/kd sure I get knocked down but guess what I earn my fight, not stand back concealing ruining my rifle condition(that is for people not using anti decayed weapons, I antidecayed my 801 t21). Just go up there intimidate it and have fun with it, you might die a few times but heck better then running, no better then FR3 jedi.

My toon Hawkke is made for big game hunting/pvp. Rifleman/TKM/xx4xPistoleer/41xxMedic. I can do anything I like with that, I still get dizzy/kd'd but combat equilibrium helps me get up faster. Novice brawler is an integral part to being a good slayer, now if you are rifleman/doctor get novice brawler it will help DRAMATICALLY.

this is pretty much what I figured - as a Rifle/SL and a Rifle/CM/DOC I really don't have the points left over for intimidate etc. You build is nice for this but not all builds will be able to do it in your manner. So conceal shot helps other builds more then yours (immensely so in some cases...)

If your template isn't designed for it shouldnt you get a guildie/friend or something to tank it goes so much faster with ss2, then concealshot's measly 2.5x dmg multiplier with random pool :/

Yea but Rifles are a ranged profession. With that in mind the last thing you want to do is have an animal and especially a krayt running up to you and attacking you with your terrible melee defense. Yes conceal shots hit is alot less powerful but it beats being sent the cloner. Rifles like most professions are all about knowing when to use each attack wisely. If something runs to a person I don't see how a running rifleman is a mama's boy. It's actually called kiting and it's just a given that ranged professions would do this. Just because you seem to like dying doesn't mean that the rest of us do. Personally I would rather live and keep fighting than die and have to keep cloning.
