Thread: A question for the veteran rifleman pvp'ers
Well if we want a dizzy/kd we have one, just not as efficient. Flushing shot 2 gives dizzy, and suppression fire give a posture change down. But then you need 4004 marksman.
Also, only bounty hunters and TKA's have a "real" dizzy/kd.

Itsa pretty hard to combat combo. All I do is spam stand.
I read somewhere that spamming isn't the best way to go. Better is to stand once, let the attempt play out, and if it doesn't work try again. With spamming if you stand up, then you have stand in your que, it will read as an attempted posture change and knock you down again. I don't know if this is true or not but it makes sense.
This is true. Spamming stand ques up more posture changes. It is the same thing that allows people to tumble to standing, while standing. Hit it once, if it fails, hit it again. Repeat till you are standing.

Not just Melee with the Dizzy/KD. BH Carbine makes life miserable with it as well.

Melee range is where the melee professions are supposed to shine and where riflemen are supposed to get knocked upside the head. All of the suggestions above are valid, but I think the most important one is to stay out of melee range. Save your burst runs, especially if you're flying solo. If you're in a group, let the tanks take the heat and tear it up from 64m.

flushing shot2 is a posture up + stun AOE attack
Flurry shot 2 is your AOE dizzy
Flurry shot is your single target dizzy.

I was originally just talking about single professions.
But if you're gonna talk stacked professions, then Rifleman/Defense Stacker (which is what I am) takes care of BH/Carbine pretty well.

I think you are a little confused. Shadowlith was just pointing out that a melee profession is not the only single profession that has a dizzy/kd. The bounty hunters also get one in the carbine line.
As a pure rifleman you get no defense vs kd. If you are a doctor already then try that macro that someone listed. If you are just a rifleman, pray that you stand up before you're dead. Otherwise you can pick up defenses from Pistoleer or Fencer, they each get +50 to def vs kd I believe, there's no guarantee that these defenses will work in the future though while holding a rifle, only time will tell.
