I haven't really done any official testing yet but I've been meaning to test the differences. I'm MSword/MRifle so I'm quite curious about it....

If rifleman can stay prone and use sniper shot they will out damage swordsman hands down, no question. However if the rifleman is not using sniper shot then Rifleman and Swordsman do about the same damage.


Of course this is if both have around the same type of weapon spec's.

Is there anyway you culd post the numbers for the damage output of the two professions with similar weapon specs? Im curiousto seejust how equal these two profs are, since the devs said they would be about the same when in came to damage dealing.


Tks

Don't knowa bout you, but i think swordsman should slightly outdmg rifleman so they can hold agro and do some tanking because i know some TKM get swordsman jsut for the dmg.

from personal experience and a Mrifle/Mcarb i am taking 1k+ damage per hit from swordsman. cripple shot and the kd/startle combo dont seem to do squat either. they keep coming and get right back up when kd'd.

its kinda like apples and oranges. riflemen and swordsmen have different ways of dealing damage. but going straight head to head the swordsman should be able to do a little more damage with equal weapons on a stationary target. armor break and berserk (a little) help.

Un true, Sniper shot has charge up and a slow cool down, yes vs mobs my Sniper shot does about 2800 and i've seen it hit a lair for 14500+ but vs a swordsman, improved critical strike will outdmg a rifleman purely because it can hit so many more times.


In general i was able to get my TKM MSwords 4xxx Doc to do about a maximum of 1600 dmg with powerattack/ improved critical(when critical hit stuck) using armour break VS Mobs (903 max dmg Powerhammer)


My rifleman does about 900 with improved head hit, ( i have MBH so i can use advanced critical which lands for 1600 when i get critical) and this is a pretty fast combo because the cooldowns work when together. Ranged shot does about 550 dmg VS Jedi, (1009 max dmg Adv Laser rifle)



It all really depends on what your fighting.

I tested it and my verdict is don't even thibk about going against one. With a decent rifle and enough distance away from you and you have only mastered swordsman, you get koed with one or two shots. Im waiting till im cl 75 or higher until i try that again!

ummm.... armor break only helps a little?? what game have you been playing. From what i can see it doubles your damage output. Try fighting a mob w/o armor break on... then put it on and see how much damage you do then
