Rifleman Archive

I am a master rifleman/master marksman/master doctor. It seems all I see around these forums is a Master rifleman/Master Bounty Hunter and some other ranged profession. Why is that? How do you heal yourselves?

(Note: I am not yet a PvP person, so forgive me if I'm not up to par with your effective usefulness of skills, maybe im just not using them effectively).

I am kinda let down by the amount of rifle and ranged skills I have. All it seems I am using is three skills - headshot, snipershot, and startle shot. Sometimes Aim now and then but not too much. (I havent used Knee-Cap shot too much, as I don't hunt much anymore, though i think I should for practice - and I will eventually)

With that said, It seems to me I do not have enough defense, or at least, i'd like to have more than I have. I'm just talking about skills and buffs you get from professions, I'm not looking into +25 tapes or anything like that. As it stands right now, I have the following stats under my character sheet, with my rifle out:

Speed: 100

Accuracy: 225

Melee Defense: 115 (128 with my shoulder strap)

Ranged Defense: 185 (198 with my shoulder strap)

In short:

How do you heal yourselves with just ranged professions?

What should I do to increase my defense, even offense if its possible?

What professions do you suggest that offer very useful skills?

Thanks alot for your time! I really appreciate it!

I recently picked up Master Doc, making me MDoctor, MRifles, 424x Medic, and xxx3 Pistoleer, and I'm loving it. Depending on the enemies, adrenal buff alternating placed and ranged shot with a SAC reducing stock leads to rediculous amounts of damage. If you start getting mobbed, it's always useful to throw the root on one enemy, snare on another, and kite the last one.

I was BH/Rifles, switched to this template, and swear I will never go back. Sure, you lost a little firepower, but play the attacks you have right with your heals, and you'll be hard pressed to go down.

CM's are like nukes. You have them just incase you need them, but as soon as you start using yours the other guys start using theirs and everything goes to hell-PyschoticChipmunk -The First line of the Riflenomican.
