Rifleman Archive

Yes this is another, "I am thinking of becoming a rifleman" post. I have enough skill points to pick twofull branchesof rifleman and was wondering if you guys had to pick your two most important branches what would they be? I was thinking the Accuracy branch and Counter-Sniping.

Accuracy on the tree on the far right (that uses combat XP) are probably the best two, imo.

Conceal Shot would be a nice skill to pick up, but I don't like it that much because it hits random bars and causes agro in a social environment.

Accuracy gets you sniper shot which is cool in PvP (ranged deathblow) and the combat tree gets you more defense and an AE dizzy attack which I think could be handy sometimes.... like for guildwar style PvP.

Block doesn't seem to do anything and Cover seems pretty worthless too, so the two middle trees don't seem overly valuable.

My Rifleman skills are at 4412 right now.

I was just thinking counter-sniper because the defenses would stack with my currently planned pistoleer profession. With this whole update to armor though, I won't be able to hurt anything serious. I want the big guns.

If your not going master Rifleman, you probably shouldnt at all actually. The speed difference between master and special abilities 4 is huge. But if you were to only get 2 lines, I would suggest, sniper 4, special abilities 4.

Anyone have any advice on the best places to hunt/ gain XP with the rifle? Currently I am only toting Rifle Expert with a 100-200 @ 7.0 tusken.
