I know my fellow riflemen are losing their patience with the constant nerfs of our profession. But remember one thing, unlike Pistoler and Carbiner, Riflemen drain a bar which can not be healed in battle. It's also the metal attributes which most characters don't strength cause they think that a large health bar is all you need. Also many NPCs have their Metal bar the lowest.


Keep that in mind. Combat medics got nothing on us.

Well that small mind bar thing helped alot before the 75% nerf of pvp damage, where you could one shot people like that. But now it doesn't matter since they just close on you and theres nothing you can do to stop them because they take too many shots and you fire too slow.


And the mob HAM pools are about equal, sometimes theres more mind that the others.

Something that has worked for me for awhile now is...Flurry shot so they are dizzy and then supression fire....they ethier A:Get up and fall down and nice and easy target or B:Stay proned and then go into rifle to whatever they us again a rifleman which is always tipped in your direction.

Whats with all the drama queens. I predict the rifleman to be the top dog in pvp after the KD nerf.

i have to agree with tazei. as in all other mmorpgs pvp chances are greatly increased by buffs so get yourself some muon gold and shoot away.

our being able to deal mind damage is a double edged sword since it takes mind to pull off the attacks. This negates the benefits of it. On top of that BH or pistoleers with BH skills can do mind damage with an effect that dosnt hurt there own mind bar.

What Harpoon failed to mention is he is not a Master Rifleman and has no experience to back up what he is saying, because if he considers 1-2 shots "alot" of shots to kill someone then he cant be helped. With a delay of 2-3 sec. most one on one engagements can be ended very quickly by a Master Rifleman. Only thing we lack is staying power we can not keep up the massive damage for very long.

I'd agree that rifleman look great after the knockdown nerf...



If BH and CM weren't better at dealing mind damage than we were.
