Okay I have a question mainly about the state attacks. Basicly how good are they?


Does the dizzy and stun attacks stick well? does AOEshots 2 states work better than the singleshot 1 states.


How well does surpressing fire work to get a player down on his knees?


I use to be TKM and basicly the only way to win was with states so is it better as a rifleman to attack with states or just go stright into mind bleeds and head shot 3 being speed capped

aoe stun sticks very well for me so does dizzy, but not as well, I can't seem to get suppresion fire to work on stackers.

I basicly tried to intimidate them, thje stun them (flushing shot2), then Headshot3 until there dead. Althought I haven't done lots of PvP with my current template.

I've never noticed that the AOE state attacks work better than the single target ones. On the other hand, it's rare that I've ever had to use the single ones so some testing might actually be in order to figure that one out. I'm of the opinion that it's always best to stun your opponents immediately. The damage reduction and attack speed reduction can give you a minor edge. As for Dizzy, if you have melee people tanking, it can only help them.


I have played around quite a bit withSupression Fire, but I've had a heck of a time getting that one to stick. When you do though, immediatly follow it with Startle Shot to make them stand back up forcing the KD. The best bet is to use this against ranged/doctor templates, BH's and other non-stacked combatants. Try to do this on a stacked template and you're usually just wasting your shots (just try to stun the stackers a couple of times then go to your high damage attacks while trying to stay out of Lunge ranged).

You can't force the posture change into a dizzy/kd, once they change posture down, they have to change posture themselves (not forced) for the KD to work.

It's worked for me, but then again, there is a very good chance they were spamming /stand when I did it and went down anyway.
