Rifleman Archive

Master rifleman. Got that already? Good, that's the hardest part. =P
Master marksman. Use the DoT trick if it still works. Now you have some pretty insane rifle speed.

What's next? commando! Ya, I'm sure you saw that coming. But seriously, think about it for a moment. We suck at sub 25m, commandos are pretty much gods slightly less than that distance. Someone is ALWAYS gonna close on us when they know we are a rifleman. Now we can whip out a thrower and toast them when they get there. The initial salvo should weaken them significantly (with rifle--strafe) and then the final blow should be a single hit from the thrower, unless we get really lucky and get them before they reach that range.

This is pending them fixing the "melee damage" flag on heavy weapons. Just delete your rifle tree if they don't do that. LOL.

No joke. I got hit by a flamethrower for over 900 damage in one shot from about 50m away.

Commando specials require a 20m range, but their normal hits work just fine from rifle range and hit harder than any of our specials.

Apparently heavy weapons are still flagged as melee damage right now. Meaning that they really only hit for 350ish damage. a ~1450 damage hit outside of pvp.
