Lo everyone!
Im currently tkm and going for master rifleman. Everyone say that once you master rifleman it will be a completely new proffesion.
My rifleman sheet is 4X14 right now so i have max speed and accuracy for a non master and still i find the rifle very slow. I get 20p more
to speed once i hit master but im cant figure out how it could be much faster with just 20p more.
The weapons speed equation we are using now is silly. That's how 20 more points makes all the difference. Then, you get to experience that same astonishment again with another +5-7 points.Weird, huh?
Im using a 6.5 speed laser rifle atm.
As of now im getting very frustrated when using a rifle, it takes me 10-15 min to take out a quenker lair compared to maybe 2 min when
i play as tkm. Don't compare TKM to non-Master Rifleman. You'll lose less sanity that wayAm i really going to do this faster when i hit master? YesAnd also, what special are you using when you taking on the lair it self? I tend to autofire most of the time, but if you're in a hurry, I guess SS2(at Master)or FS2(Counter-Sniping II)is the way to go. At your current level.....I think FS may be the best thing for you(try it witha speed sliced rifle or even a spraystick). Don't use Headshots or a Jawa Ion Rifle
It takes forever on auto attack and using overcharge just destorys the rifle way to fast for my liking.
Could always get a Laser Rifle just to use on lairs so that it's no problem to spam Overcharge shot
Can a master rifleman deal the same amount of massive destruction as a tkm when it comes to pve?
Much more
I really enjoy playing rifleman its just the slow rate of fire that makes me insane
I think that's by design. Due to the horrible speed early on and the overall weakness of Riflemen at the pre-Master level, most people never bothered with it in the early days of SWG. Even then though, we were quite powerful once you got that last box
Do you have some general tips for a new rifleman when it comes to pve (i never play pvp)?
Armor is good. Composite tends to be what most people use. Ubese is a close second for its high Kinetic resists. Padded can get some good Kinetic resists as well if you wanna be different. Myvote for best-looking Kinetic armor goes to Chitin even though its resists will be lower than the others
Vasarian Brandy(drink) is a must. Get some with 50 filling and you'll be spamming specials like nothing for nearly 40 minutes. Vagnerian Canape(food) and Ahrisa(also food) are nice to have as well. Muon Gold(spice) is emergency use only.
Speed/Mind cost reduction power-ups will help a lot as well. If you're using a rifle with low speed already, you can opt for the 16% Minimum/32% Maximum damage power-ups.
Grouping with a pet(whether it's with you or not and whether it fights or not doesn't matter) should get you 10% or so more XP. I don't usually do this(laziness/forgetfulness/other), so don't quote me on that

Thanks m8!
That answered all my questions
Guess i just have to continue to smack those little quenkers up until i hit master.
