First of all what's your template?

Remember to use the LOS as your advantage.If their out 40m spamming headshot, just run behind a building so they need to get in melee range. If your in the middle of nowhere I suggest running towards them and bursting away or the otherway to get out of their range or in yours. Make them come to you.

The only time I have trouble with Rifleman is when they are a CM also 40m out and I need to continually cure my poison while they headshot me.

Other than that just remember to intim and warcry when your in trouble.

*Puts Swordsman hat on*

Not unless the Swordsman's using anAcklay PH, we don't. And I'm talking about speed-capped MS vs speed-capped MR,never mind thefact thatthere's a LOT more speed-capped Riflemen out there, than there are Swordsmen.

A reasonably good slice on a T21 will take you, with 33%/16% max/min powerup, to over 700 max damage. That's about the same as a similarly sliced and powered-up PH (given we don't get 33% damage powerups). Add to that the fact that T21s are AP3 (if that works correctly ATM, not too sure) and Strafe2 is a 5x damage multiplier, and frankly, you're kidding yourself.

The reason Swordsman is better in PvE is because against some (but not many) of the high-end mobs, our damage types arebetter, and for mid-range stuff, our area attacks are FAR more effective than the Rifleman 'cone'.

If you've ever tried to get looting rights on an Elder when a Rifleman turns up and starts using you as a tank, you'd know what I'm talking about. With Acklay weapons, yes, we can outdamage a Rifleman. But then, what if they havea Krayt T21? With equal weapons, Rifleman outdamages Swordsman (with exceptions for certain specific mobs).

I'd Agree With This Healing For 1k+ Is A Big Help When Then Stop Aiming For You Head

Other Than That Keep Him On The Floor, Intimidate, Bleed Him(These Tend To Be Forgotten But They Help)And Hack Away At His Mind = )
