read the numerous threads in here about progression-- nearly every one has a master rifle talking about how fierce strafe2 with +90 (or more) rifle speed is.

i sometimes help guildmates with scout harvesting (for armorsmiths, etc) by running piket missions on dantooine with them. I can take out 3 pikets in under 15 seconds. an entire lair takes me at most 2 minutes.

yes, master sharpshooter is highly effective. there's not a whole lot in the game we can't take.

It depends on what the Ham setup is on the melee class or ranged fighter. A master rifleman shooting at a 700 mind bar is 4-5 shots with a jawa ion. Melee classes just kite em and watch out for lunge2's and Warcry's. ya they are hard to hit with defenses and center of being. but if you keep em out of 35m you'll win a large amount of the time.

Ranged classes it depends on other things, like what template your facing. What weapon are they using, what armor you have on etc.

Remember smugglers/carb/bh's have a ranged kd, Pistol users have a Melee knockdown. Bh's also have Eyeshot, which can be covered by a good Comp helm.

Any ranged class can take on any one of the other ranged classes. It all depends on armor, food, spice and buffs.

This is a statement about your average rifleman without buffs and or light armor (bone/tantel/ubese)

To win vs a rifleman

as a Pistoller, close range to under 25m (our accuracy goes down the drain), KD's and special of choice with what every pistol with do the best vs the targets armor.

as a Carb, Charged shot, counter attack and full auto (blind can be nasty)

as a Rifleman, it depends on who has the better gun and mind setup.

as a bounty hunter, Eyeshot, LLC, carb firekd, confusion shot

Hybrids, Expert BH+Pistollers, Pistollers+Smuggler, Carb+BH Carb they have a variety of ways to kill rifleman with a wide range of attacks.

Now if your a rifleman Fully buffed in some 80% composite. Moun, Glucose, Fishak, Chadel, Ice cream ready with Dancer/musican buffs.

Your alot harder to kill. Because your ham costs are lower, but your still vulnerable to status effects (stun/dizzy/blind) as well as kd's. Anyone fully buffed and ready in Composite is alot harder to kill.

note that to my knowledge there are 3 stun weapons in the game,

Jawa Ion Rifle
Stun baton aka Pimp Stick
Tangle Pistol (all pistol users cert at pistol 3)

Comp armor is vuln to stun. do the math on this

Do I win every time in a duel, Oh h3ll no, do I win every time in pvp, ditto no.

I am a valued member of any pvp group. Ranged db, targeting Mind, Area dizzy/stun strafe2. Am I fragile yes.

Rifleman fit well with all other combat classes, From Combat Medics to pikeman.

No group is complete with out a rifleman

solo anything, own everyone. just go up a defense tree like trickshot on pistoleer and youre a god in pvp.

i was gonna drop rm, but i just sat outside bestine and coronet starports yelling to for fun duels. I got a 9-0 in bestine and 10-0 in coronet. never dropping it! these guys are newbs either!

melee and range. for the meleers i just do my

/unarmedknockdown1;

/unarmeddizzy;

macro the moment they accept, walk 2 paces and advace strafe them. Range I either do advance straffe or master headshot depending on if theyre buffed or not. sometimes a mind bleed or 2 as well.

my weapon of choice is also nothing special

laser rifle: 58-500 dmg, 5.7 speed (no pwrup) and a jawa 122-285, 5.8 spd. Before I duel i usually powerboost. The class that gives me HELL in pvp is those **edit** carbineers and their range kds that they spam with firekd to make u stay down. Bloody painful.

I pvp all the time, and fear no single melee class. the defense dabblers can be tough, but that's it.

in pvp, i die to

a.) master combat medics who poison/disease from 80m and run like chickens

b.) TKA w/grouptef (the absolute cheapest)

c.) other master rifles with better stuff than me

d.) and occassionally max'd defense dabblers
