Rifleman Archive

Well, if your just going to grind village pts on lairs, etc.. then master rifleman/master ranger makes it pretty easy. You can trap even the largest critters in the game as a ranger and hold them in place while blasting them with your rifle. Get two or three large critters aggro'd on you? No problem, use a p-dart trap to hold two of them while nailing the 3rd one. Then move to the second one, etc... Master Rifleman/Master Ranger will get you to combat level 80 also. With double xp going on ramping up scout/ranger would not take long at all.

for FS stuff i'd say pick up MBH/Mrifles/Pistoleer 4th box-something. Allows you 3.3 million pistol/carbine/rifle and the MBH gives you a combat xp cap of 900k, so while you may not bring in a whole lot extra combat xp by the time you get to that 3.3million, you'll have a virtually limitless cap on combat xp (very hard to hit cap on it) and by the time you're ready to head into the village you'll have probably 400k combat (least i do with this style temp) and you'll have an extra 30k fs xp from combat,

for overall power? i'd say Mrifles/pistoleer 0404 and then either Master Carbineer or master Combat medic. With carbineer you get some nice snares, kd, and damage attacks, but you have to be *perfect* and not take dmg beyond what your instant stims can heal you up every 30 sec with ruby biel. With combat medic you sacrifice the kd, but you've got paralyze and improved electrolyte drain (mez and snare) as well as very nice heals, so if you screw up big time you can hold yourself up better. For straightout damage i'd say the carbineer combo is the better of the two but you may like combat medic better because you have the heals.

The key to the village grind is using skill points efficiently to get the biggest XP bucket, so you can carry the most XP at one time. Master Rifle can carry 1.2million Rifle XP per trip (plus combat XP). If you takeANY single 4thlevel box from another weapon class then you can carry 1.2 mil of that weapon XP also.

So... having said that... here's my recommendation.

Master Rifle - Pistol 0/0/0/4 (Gives Root and Defense) - Carbineer 0/0/3/0 (gives KD and more defense). Those 3 profs will allow you to carry 3.6 million weapon XP to the village and all of it will dump into either Combat Prowess or Enhanced Reflexes.

You'll have 76 skill points left at that point, so I'd add the Master Markman box (since you'd already have all the marksman boxes filled in) and Medic 0/4/4/0 to get some really fast and effective heals in case something manages to get into range on you (and not much will between those skills).

By this time you'll be all set. Good specials, good defense, good damage... good in groups or solo... Good PvE and good PvP... all around good to go.

You'll end up with 27 skill points to do with as you wish inside the CM prof, but plan on 24 of them getting used up by Force Sensative Skills... because you're going to fly through the village grind with this template.

Best of Luck.

MRM/MRanger......Period

With this combo, I can solo CL 84 mobs. Dangerous? Hell yes. If you are not careful, you will clone. If your are unlucky, you will clone. If you are lucky, but miss your timing, you will clone. If you phone rings, you will clone. If your girlfriend blows in your ear.... well, who cares if you clone at that point?

I will not fear, fear is the mind killer, it is the little death that brings total annhilation, I will face my fear, I will let it pass through me, and when it is gone I will turn my inner eye to see its path, and there will be nothing only I will remain. -Litany against fear
