starfire3810 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Anybody know how the game calculates combat rating numbers after the CU? You know, that number that appears to the right of the character info? I haven't seen any character with a number higher than 80. I play a crafting character with a combat rating of 20 as a Novice Rifleman, Marksman 4/0/0/4. I'm wondering what is the best way to increase my combat rating, taking up Brawler, filling pistol or carbine boxes, or advancing in Rifleman? Anybody know how the combat rating calculations work? TIA, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranre Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Yeah, It is getting up your combat stats. Brawler, Rifleman ect, anything that has to do with combat. But thats for certain things. Such as if your a TKM, then you change it to Novice Rilfman it will be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starfire3810 Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 Yeah, I understand generally that combat rating is related to increasing combat skills. I am wondering more specifically how CR is calculated. As a Novice Rifleman and Marksman 4/0/0/4 with a CR of 20, I filled the first pistol box, but my CR did not go up at all. So, I am wondering how the calculations are made. Would I need to make Master Marksman, or would advancing Brawler increase my CR? Or, having started an elite combat prof, do I need to advance in that to increase my CR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranre Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Every 2 boxes you fill, you get 5 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starfire3810 Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 Ok, though I don't get any CR points for making Novice Rifleman? (with the additional pistol box, I oughta get another 5 points) Also, what about the redo of the weapon certifications? Any idea when I'll regain certifications for E11 and laser rifle? Will I get them by continuing to advance Rifleman, or can I gain them merely by getting my CR numbers up? I hear that T21 requires Master Rifleman and Power Hammer requires Master Swordsman.

Rogue15 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 cr numbers up, plus novice rifleman i think...the laser rifle is for level 54's. the proton carbine requires master bh.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranre Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 The t21 cert used to be for Novice Rifle. I dont really pay any attention to Rifleman anymore but I think it is Master Rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue15 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 riflemen do ALOT of damage though!!! i prefer crowd control of the carbines though...so im master carbineer, trying to get master bounty hunter....and go for some rifleman as well. carbineer rules though, cept in some quests, like when you have to talk to an informant, and use improved full auto area on some of the thugs that attack you, and well....the informant gets shot in the face.
