Marksman

[Balandar]

is it fun?

LOL!!!! Its a blast man! Getting to master marksman is a BLAST!! Its too bad my char gets wiped when we go live, but it'll be fun getting the skills back again.

how long did it take you to master marksmen.

Ohhhhh lets see..... If you were to go to endor, get a pretty big group hunt going, (10-20 peep) and you get 1 group per day.... 4-7 days? I didn't really time myself, thats just an approx.

Rapsca:A marksman fencer would be a good combo, you do go into commando like that.

Duke: An average rifle would be 4-6 seconds.

Damion: Which is better gamewise is up to what damage you want to inflict. Carbines are very good for killing action pool, pistols for health, and rifles for mind. I personaly like doing health damage, so i use pistols. I also like pistols because, they fire more quickly than other types of weapons and they can do alot of damage.

Duke

1 quite a few hits if its equal skill. Dont know exactly

2 The avg damage for a newbie rifle (yea ya had it right, CDEF) is about 12-50 and the damage USUALY makes up for the slowness.

Delwen You have to become a master of all weapons in the marksman skill tree, and yes bothans make good ones. Any species can be very good in any profession.

Molikore Thats a great idea if you have enough skill points for it, which I think you do.

Jerik The carbines are very good, they are my 2nd favourite weapon. Their special attacks do primarily action damage, and a lot of it. E-11's are pretty good.

How many hits with the (plz tell m if Im wrong with the name) the CDEF or something like that will it take to bring down a creature around your skill lvl, and how much Dmg does the averagre rilfe do. Also does the dmg make up for the speed of the rifle.

greedo:

1 I would probably keep the startings stats or maybe lower your health a tad and add to you action pool.

2 same as above

3 Good rifles... Jawa Ion Rifles, Laser rifles, DLT20a's, etc, etc.

4 Depends on who your fighting, and how much mind pool points they have.

GENERAL BALANCE:

PvP Balance? Strongest? Weakest? Dominated by ranged? Stealth? Melee?

Best mob solo profession? Skills? Why?

Fastest form of exping? Desired or best classes for it?

Pistols hurt body, carbine hurt action, rifles hurt mind, correct? I read that melee "Lunge" drains your own action pool? So if a martial artist if fighting a carbineer, both his enemy and some of his own actions will drain his action pool, which will leave him KOed once it reachs 0?

With the above considered, what other skills drains from your ownaction pool, and what drain your body pool, and what drains your mind pool?

VISUAL:

Is there any armor like that which Boussh, the Ubesian bounty hunter wore?

Any details on how to get Mandalorian Battle Armor? restrictions or requirements for it?

Anyone got lots of bothan, zabrak, and wookie screenshots?

Specifically equiped with cool armor and weapons, and with a variety of faces?

GAMEPLAY SPECIFICS:

Any form of stealth to prevent a character from appearing on the radar of enemy gamers? Or appear at all? (eg; invisibility)

Or do they only work against mobs?

When and how do you know you have a Forced Sensitive character slot?

Does the slot itself become FS? Or does a character become FS after it's created?

Can anyone elaborate on leaving a Faction?

PROFESSIONS AND SKILLS:

Can anyone comment on Flame Throwers, Rocket Launchers, Lightning Beams, Acid Beams, and Acid Rifles? Commando Heavy Weapons in general?

How effective are they? Which are mounted? Any games flaws make this path hard or not worth while?

I'm curious about a "heavy gunner" type character, wielding of gattling or machine guns.

Is there really no point to Master Rifleman if you Master Bounty Hunter?

Are all the Rifleman skills in the BH line, or just the best/useful ones?

Which does the most overall firearm damage?

Which is more dangerous at range? Rifleman's rifles, or Bounty Hunter's lightning rifles?

Master Marksman Master Rifleman, a higher and better damage dealer than a Master Marksman Master Bounty Hunter?

Why? Better bonuses? Better firearm skills? If so, which and why?

To become a Bounty Hunter, you need to be a Master Marksman and Scout. So a Master BH would have three professions mastered? Is that a general possiblity for any character? eg; Master Marksman/Rifleman/Pistoleer, or Master Marksman/Carbineer/Commando possible?

Kyan WOW nice questions... and a lot of em. Ok here goes:

PVP Balance seems very good to me, every combat profession seems very well balanced.

best mob solo profession I would say brawler/teras kasi, they have more health and tend to do better soloing in my opinion.

Fastest form of xping in my opinion is a large group on endor out hunting large creatures. probably best class for it is marksman, they can sit back do tons of damage without taking any themselves in a group, unless you take on something over your groups head. (Ie an entire village of ewoks!!!! Trust me its bad, its happened to me =\)

Correct with all the weapons damage. All special moves drain a certain pool, most commonly the action pool. Yes that is correct.

Yes I saw that armour a few days ago. VERY RARE THOUGH! All REALLY great armour is kind of hard to find. (tip, go into community window and search for armour smiths in your area.)

Yikes mandalorian is SO rare I have no clue.

Screens shots are going to be coming out like crazy, I don't really have time to post em though, I'm too busy answering questions.

I'm not sure about stealth, I haven't really experimented with any of that. I understand there is a sort of mask scent ability for scouts, though i am not sure what it does.

Becoming FS is random, caused by some random event that is differ for every player. If you get FS you get another character slot on that server, thus you CAN have two characters on one server.

uhhh I'm not sure about the faction question.

Ummm, Don't know about that either, sorry.

Mindshot I think does the most rifle damage. Rifleman has some special attack that bh's dont have, and vice versa.

Both should be quite deadly, i'm not sure which is better.

Master marksman master rifleman would be impressive, but I don't think you can master both, maybe master one and half the other.

He would have 2 BASIC professions master and one elite profession mastered. It's POSSIBLE for you to master more than one elite profession I think, but no more than 2, you wouldn't have enough skill pts.

Hope to see ya in game, and thx for the great questions
