Can anyone tell me if they ever (even once in the game on any target PC or NPC) changed target's posture???

I'm rifleman 4-4-3-3 and in my playing time as rifleman (one month)I didn't ever even once change target posture

I tryed many diferent ways flushing shoot, flurry shoot.......whatewer

Why is this not working?

I mean.....what good is dizzy shoot (don't get me wrong, it's good if target is stupid enough to change posture himself)

if I can't change posture? In PvP dizzy becomes obsolete.

This is leading to standard PvP fights - Mind shot, Head shoot and sniper.

And then people tell my that I'm lame with that sort of fightin?!? What can I do? Get myself killed?

It's good I'm not complaining about Rifleman I love it, but it would be more interesting if I could use more specials shoots.

Pleasereply if enyone sucesfully changet target's posture.

Live long and prosper!

Dizzy alone is useless in PVP and only slightly useful in PVE. No one changes posture in PVP so they won't fall down unless someone hits them with a posture-down or knockdown attack. Gun-using NPCs like to go prone a lot so you can dizzy them and then move out of range so they try to stand up and fall over from the dizzy.

I assume that rifleman dizzy is only good for support in a group battle.

I have used it pretty well with npc's some things have more immunity than others seems that rebel npc's are suseptible to dizzy and then they switch positions causing me at least 2 extra shots and much enjoyment of watching them fall over and over and over again. It works on tusken raiders and commoners too.

Look close at our change posture shots, they are all up.

You have to have ranged support 4 in marksman to tree to get a change down, and good luck getting it to actually force something to change posture.

Do you know about the dizzy out of range trick on npc's?

engage Npc at 60m, If they go prone , shoot flurry1/flurry2 at them and step back 6m. and wait. they will stand up and most of the time fall down from self posture changes. If you want to you can posture up them and sometimes that works as well, but I find its a better use of ham to step backwards. Works good on Reb npc's, maulers, Nym's and others as well.

For PVP the Rifleman Dizzy is one of our best shots when grouped, Since I never PVP Solo. A flurry2/flurry1 with any melee class or carb/bh is great. it allows the melee to focus on the kd Kill and you on the clean up.

just my observations ..

LLJK_Griz...

You don't need a Dizzy shot... just flash that Signature gif at them! Jeez... I was rolling on the floor holding my eyes closed screaming for 60 seconds... KD and Dizzy all in one Gif!

(Of course, after you change it, this post of mine won't make sense to anyone!)

Off topic:

LLJK_Griz, just fyi...

Take the pictures out please, pictures in sigs are not allowed and will be removed if you do not do it yourself. If too many people start doing it we will have to disable any sort of html in signatures for EVERYONE. (that does not mean just getting rid of glows, that means no colors no nothing.)

I find it Very usefull in faction missions weither your are rebel or imperial. But that is really the only area that it seems to have much of an effect.
