Hi all, im currently a master doc, master tka and im thinking of dropping tka for rifleman mainly for pvp, do you all think this is a wise choice? Is there any other pvp or pve advantages to being master rifle over master tka when being coupled with master doc?
Thank you for your help ....
Currently I would say both rifleman and TK are on par with each other for pvp ability. In pve there is an advantage to going Rifle over tk in that Rifleman have a greater range of damage types and can single draw targets (rather then fight the whole lot). AP3 also helps in pve a lot... a rifleman will have an easier time on krayts, though a tk will have an easier time on Night Sisters.
You will need to learn new tactics - better to be at range and kite (especially if you give up TK) then let the npc/creature get close same in pvp... kite kite kite (though this may (will) change with the upcoming combat revamp)
much of what we know currently may change with the coming combat revamp so this is dated material ^_^

Ok thank you for the info. I have been reading your guides today alot, is there any links to hints as to what changes may come to the class?
-speed (may or may not drop)
-movement penalty (may be given to ranged professions if they have a weapon equipped)
-ham penalties will apply again but in a modified unbuffable form
of course those are just guesses and hearsay - they are nothing but rumor and should be understood as such
