Rifleman Archive

Alright, so I decided to go Master Rifleman last night at around 11:30pm EST. So I started out on Tatooine (grouped with a guild member (Master Fencer)) and we took high level mobs there, mainly Banthas and Rontos. Seeing how he was a Master Fencer, he stacked HealthHit1/2 and all's I had to do was put in a few shots and get full XP. Did this for an hour and I received Rifles 1-4. Now seeing I'm a Master Fencer as well, I go to Dantooine this morning and take Bols/Pickets/Quenker missions... use HealthHit1/2 on them and they all aggro me... not a problem, in a few minutes they all have 1 health point left and one hit they're done... again, full XP. Did this for about 2 hours and now I'm a Novice Rifleman and I'm just about to hit Intermediate Sniping Accuracy. I hope this helps some up-coming rifleman or anyone whose finding it hard to get XP.

Good strategy if you have the help. Even better is to hookup with a Swordsman in that they can bleed mind pool, and their bleeds stack with ours. So if you have a Swordsman friend hit with Mindhit1 and Mindhit2, you can directly attack the bleeding pool with Headshots, and as soon as you get Mindshot1, you can add a third bleed to it. Mindshot2 (in Rifleman) will allow you to add a fourth bleed, and because you can use Headshots to attack the bleeding pool, you are doing more efficient damage since the damage is not being divided between the pools as it is with a random pool hit.

Of course, once you get Mindshot1 and Mindshot2, you can simply hit them with bleeds and either kite them or hit them with Warningshot to keep them off of you until they bleed down to 1 point of damage then finish them off without having to rely on anyone else. Obviously, you can speed the process by pounding them with Headshots as well.

The only thing you need to be careful of is that the bleeder needs to be sure to only hit them with the bleeds. This is because only non-bleed damage is counted towards the XP division. So if your friend hits with two bleeds and accidentally hits with a normal attack before he can go Peace, the normal attack damage will count towards the division of XP.

Feign death is your friend

only in 3 hours? i was master rifleman in 1 1/2 day lol jk good tip

Decease, i thought only wookies could use bowcasters?

Its a laser rifle, I just hate the laser rifle model, so I swapped it out with the bowcaster model.

And people complain that it takes too long to level .



I did this to help my friend when he decided to delete his wookie and create a human in his place. I'm Master Rifle TKA and I would put a 1200 mind bleed on dewbacks and peace and let them hit me. It took about 7 hours of work to get him to master marksman and the unarmed tree so he could pick up his fire stick again.



Another thing to help you with the hard to get combat exp is to have the person grinding pick up novice medic. I just made my friend hundreds of stim a's and he would heal me while the dewback was hitting me. You get bonus combat exp for healing injured players and he was getting about 1k combat exp per dewback with about 3.5k weapon exp.



This is a very boring process though and you will need a good friend to help you, even then they will probably get bored after one lair.
