Thread: Beating Ranged Combatents: Help
COB + Sword Flurry + Parawan + Action Foods of your choice + Booster Blue + Health Crystal + Buffs + Adrenaline + GOOD Adv Rifle + 1100 Stims + Ruby Drink + Dodge Pie + Defense Food + 2k PSG
Do all of those, the SECOND his first root drops, eat the parawan and run at him for a good beatdown, when he roots you and runs away, take that opportunity to pull out the rifle and heal while he smacks you. By this time, your parawan should be near to expired (good 69% will allow you to burstrun again shortly), rinse repeat, even if you have to stand there and use stims while your stomach clears, KEEP cob on, and sword flurry if it gets hairy (extra defense bonus). Keep him AB, and KD if you are close when he roots, nothing more suprising then them on there back right after they root you.
Good luck with it, a master ranged is difficult, but without him healing, should be much of an issue. Pick up a scythe as well, he probably has one of those uber energy suits, or kinetic suit, with acid elemental protection around 4k.
Thank you very much. Oddly enough he has a sad armor suit the last time i checked. He looks well... He has Katarn boots and gloves, wookee recon chest, and leggs and a shoulderpad of some sort, but you have been if great help, i need to print that out to make a macro or two for it as soon as i can. Thanks again.

have to agree with that, burstrun on ranged is about our only counter to root snare attacks.
btw, use /follow right before you duel, will save you some concentration on finding them.

Im not sure if my last message made it so ill make this small one. I need to beat my ranged friend in a duel to prove to him that melee can beat ranged as much as it would be vice versa. He believes that melee combatents are nothing to ranged and that he could never be beaten by one. I aim to prove him wrong. I am TKM, M swordsmen, brawler 4/4/4/1 Medic 0/0/2/0 and ER 0/2/0/0 in FS. He is a major rooter (Master pistols, master smuggler, master marksmen, 0/0/3/0 carbs.. or somthing like that.) Please if you can give me any good foods, armor defensive range (like 5600-5800 or 6000 and up?) and most definatly stratagies. Thank you in advance.

advice, drop 0001 brawler its doing nothing, and i dont know if im missing something but it seems to me like you have lots of skill points left over, causei was tkm/mswords/brawler4440/med4040/doc4000
your friend knows nothing, melee will win duels most of the time

I use corners and other obstacles quite a bit. If you can set it up in a bank/bazaar area(for some reason I get challenged the most when I'm on the bazaar) the entryways are the perfect foil to his ranged attacks. I just run around the corner into that enclosed area just inside the entrances and the only way for him/her to get a shot on you is to come around the corner and into the area with you. In order for them to get away from your attacks the only option is for them to sacrifice their line of sight. It seems to work pretty good. Running around a house or rock works too...it's kinda chickensh*t but hey-that whole "take ten paces" garbage will only get you killed...just ask Alexander Hamilton.
QFT. Use LOS to force your opponent to get in your range
Also, if they circle kite ya, cut the corner, and you'll gain range on them

Thanks all, ill try and not use alot of foods but ill use the parawan the steak.. i think i have some from long ago.. probably pre CU though... anyways ill keep the l"line of sight" in mind, he will probably want to have it at his house, or in Moenia (starport near his house.... 700m from the EMp's retreat... even if hes rebel). I believe hius exact words where: "You of all people should know that you cant beat me as a ranged vs melee". Also about the SP. I do have alot, i was planing to drop the lv one in brawler and master swordsmen in my tolken respec ( i have max swords xp so i should be able to get it back via trainer) and get the medic and doctor. the 4/0/0/0 doc. Same temp as urs, and if i can the rest will be in FS melee and ranged def. The deul wont happen till i complete my template so it would be a "fair" fight so i should be well equiped by then.
On one last note i have a fairly good Scythe and a 540-1098 or 1100 somthing PH... which should i use? no rush, wont get a new comp for another.... 3 weeks or so.
