Hi all, I was told since i don't do much PvP to go up the whole countersniping tree first before I get anything else. What do you guys think? Thanks alot!

Yes counter-sniping line is awsome. It has great PvE attacks that are AoE and do very nice damage. I would recommend getting sniping 1 first for the Mind Shot 2 tho.

i agree countersnipe 3 changed alot of things for me. you got to watch it though if you attack a group then ALL of the crap you are attacking (unless already attacking something) will come after you!!
so be careful


ALSO i am not sure if its an explot or not but flushingshot2 WILL work on liars so i can take out a lair in about 3-5 shots (with prenerf T21 and powerups)

I actually find that Counter-Sniping is very NERFed since the last patch. . . I never really used the UPWARD posture changes and now the effects from the AoE shot don't seem to land or else don't seem to last long enough to do me much good.

Anyone else having this problem since patch?

Wow, I have heard alot of bad things about rifleman... At master we still do around 5k damage every 2-3 secondsright? Or is that gone as welll?

The posture changes we dont need. The counter-sniping attacks do A LOT of damage and they are AoE. I never used Flushing Shot 2 for the posture up attack lol.

Also forgot to add, the AoE shot doesnt do damage to the other mobs on the first shot unless they are aggro'd on you. It will agrro them after the first shot tho. I haven't noticed any difference in the AoE hitting. I like to hunt in groups and I let the pet tank and kill everything in sight. The lowly pistoleers are sittin there doing their stopping shots and body shots on one mob, while im doing 1-4k on 3-4 mobs. The only problem I have now is cappin on mind pool so fast heh.

How is the squad leader/rifleman combination working out for you Cydonia? I was thinking about doing something similar.

Another question, I have been using strafe shot 1 and I now have Flushing shot 1. Should I continue to use Strafe untill I get Flushing shot 2 or use Flushing 1? And should I go all the way to counter 4 before I go up the other trees or just go to 3 and work up the other trees from there? Thanks again.
