#1 for PVE and #2 for PVP

#3 is a bit of a waste of points unless you are short on cash, get a couple of +2 rifle speed tapes from your local server trade board and save those skillpoints.

I actually have a lot of fun playing aMaster Sharpshooter and TKA ( Not a Master yet ). The Defence isn't as high as some other Combo's but It's the fun factor for me that outweighs the numbers.

But yes, definitely don't bother with Master Marksman, get the + Rifle SpeedSkill tape and spend those points in Scout / Medic or other Defensive Skills.

Hmmm... with the new combat ner.... eerrr i mean balancing those defenses won't stack...

They all seem good for pvp though

Well.... with the new combat ner.... errrr i mean balancing defences won't stack so if you want the melee defences you'd have to pull out that shiny VK or Power Hammer

#1 - I wouldn't get master brawler... it gives you lunge2 and all those super ranged attacks, but why waist the points if you have a rifle?

#2 - Good template, but remember that you won't be able to stack those 4 bleeds to the mind that master rifle/swordsman give you

#3 - /agree... I wouldn't waist the points to get master marksman. Just go out and buy a couple tapes.

All 3 are good templates and are great for PvP and PvE. I like #2 the best, but the choice is yours and yours alone. (I always wanted to say that )

Option #353

Master Rifleman/ Master Combat Medic

You will destroy all things at range, and keep the true nature of being a rifleman....and not to mention completely tick off everyone by using your God given skills of poison and head shot mwhahahahahahaha..ha

anyone ever think of master rifleman...master fencer...that would make your melee defense around 200+ or so...and Fencers are melee Gods anyway...so...youd have the best of both worlds...cause Scatter Hit 2 owns TKMs

Master Rifleman + Master Brawler + Swordsman + TK 3-0-0-0

Master Brawler is actually quite nice for the Intimidate/Warcry 2. Not letting someone do anything for 20 secs is a nice way to escape, or get that final hit off.

Also remember that very soon you will only be able to have 1 bleed on any one pool at a time, so Swordsman and Rifle won't be quite as effective a combination. No more Mind Shot 1+2and2h Mind Hit 1+2 stacking.

#1- there's really no point to get master brawler... you get the lunge2 and all that super ranged melee stuff but what's the point if you have master rifle?

---

The point would definately have to be Warcry2 and intimidate 2....both of which you can use with a rifle equipped and are essentially ranged skills....30m i believe? Some one correct me on this if im wrong....

Anyhoo.....Master Brawler will help you pull out the win against those defence stackers out there.....Warcry2-20sec delay no brainer there.....An intimadated foe is easer to hit not to mention they will hit for alot less dmg.

Lunge2 gives the rifleman the ability to KD/dizzy.....

All very fun stuff!

Thanks
