Is there some kind of food you can take to make you super hard to hit? Maybe some sort of really high ranged def food? I fought several people and I've just missed them like mad, every 7th shot or so would hit (I was missing, he wasn't dodging or blocking or counter-attacking). One guy I fought was a master rifleman/master CM so I know it wasn't his skills, it has to be something he ate. I first though maybe ranged def food but the best I could find was like +30 ranged def. Would that really help that much? Could someone explain this to me? Thanks

I think there is a melee defense food, but I just use Synthsteak

It absorbs 46% of all damage taken, for 30-40 attacks

the 46% is on my server, i'm not sure on others

So, a Master Rifleman, Master CM should have a ranged defense of 78. With this template you really can't defense stack anymore, so here are the things that I know of which could increase your ranged defense.

Food +25 (this may vary a little bit, but I think the max effectiveness to this is limited to 25, can anyone confirm this? At any rate, the food that increases your ranged defense is not much more even if it can pass 25)

SEA +25

Grouped with a MSL +30

In a city with the Stronghold Specialty +50

Total: 208.

It is unlikely however that all of these things were factors, but just a couple of them may have made him considerably harder to hit. Someone with the right template, naturally at +125 ranged defense, could end up at +255. It would not take that much to cap at block either, and there is a food for that.

Also consider that if the guy was moving, and if you were moving that makes it that much harder to land a hit. Add in a not ideal range and a lower accuracy rifle and it is not at all hard to imagine that a rifleman with only a couple of the above could become very difficult to hit. And this is assuming you are yourself a Master Rifleman.

Just my two cents on the issue, hope it helps.

Dont forget the command /aim.. You can stack it up to three times.. hopefully you keep enough distance from them because I myself am a rifleman/CM and can win duels against most people (non-stackers) with nothing more than some ubese, brandy, canapes and a muon (backup)

For instance:

A day ago, a TKM came to the med center in coronet asking everyone to duel... now, he was fully buffed with composite, and I wasnt. I took some makeshift buffs from a doctorI was with and commenced the duel. Long story short, I won. But even though he used TK on me and had one of the fencer titles over his head, I stayed about 30m away and blasted away. Got knocked down a few times and he got my health and action pretty low, but with a few stims,I was fine. Kept him dizzy to keep him from burst running, and used supression fire to keep him at bay.

Just showing you from a different perspective.

Also, dont forget about sticking a stun state on them to drop their primary defenses.

Pikatta pie is one of the unkown secretsin PVP and I'm guessing it is the answer to your question, but the options listed above are very good also. Pikatta pie is described as adding 50%+ to your dodge mod. But, when the devs "fixed" defense stacking in order to make specific templates that were unhittable able to be hit, they removed center of being and dodge foods from the dodge mod and created a second defense mod that works for all professions. Long and short, any profession can use pikatta pie and will have very increased ability to have attacks miss them completely. It's a 30 filling food with about a half hour duration and is a mainstay for many PVP folks as it makes you very hard to hit. My $.02.
