Rifleman tank?

[BlazinWulf]

Just curious what you guys thing of this build for high end pve (NS and Krayts mostly):

MRifle/MFencer/Pistoleer xx4x/Pikeman xx2x/Medic 213x

Block: 135
Blind vs Def: 100
Def vs Dizzy: 100
Def vs KD: 110
Def vs Post change (down): 80
Def vs Stun: 60
Melee Def: 65
Range Def: 94

In 90% Armor you would have (I believe) decent heals, cure bleeds, and would have Melee/Range mig III.

Figured high end will always hit so didn't care much for the Melee/Range Def.

It's a good template similar to what I have apart from I have tk out of personal preference

Sorry made a mistake, that build had everything but the medic tree.

I built this once. It is good for making the pulls. krayts and such, since you don't get smashed right away. It is not super good for sustained. You still tend to take some burst damage. Not sure why.

[BlazinWulf]

Would it be better to give up some secondary defenses for some medic?

[Turin]

For me medic is a must for nearly all of the high end even if it's just novice medic with janta b's. Personally I prefer xx4x for stim e's.

True, but was thinking of mabe a high def rifle tank, with a healer dual box.

Trying for Krayt, at least up to giant ( though ancients would be nice) and maybe a NS too.

Was thinking Rifle Tank with dual box Rifle/cm or TK/commando/medic

[Turin]

I go my rifle tank with a tk/commando with medic, especially against nightsisters you need medic on both, krayts you'll get away with just one of them having it
