This is the the world of Rubi-Ka one on one with an NPC. If you have effective defense nanos, heals, DoTs, high/fast damge output, and the higher hped profession, if you have 2 of these qualities you stand several/most chances one on one against a similar leveled and higher NPC

FC this really needs to be changed

Hum...
A Ranee attack parried????

C'mon

[Intenseheat]

It currently uses melee init, and is thus thought of by game mechanics as a melee weapon (this will be fixed in 14.6 according to Cz and Cosmik), thus can be parried, like the BBI faithful.

Chinamon... it looks like the problem is in your gun. The fact that it's bugged and doesn't work properly should alone be enough to make you switch. The low clip size iand fire rate also makes it a bad choice. I would suggest swapping to a Tsaka or Stigma until you can find an X-3.

It makes me a bit upset how fighting work.

Firearms should not be allowed to be parried, and if you use a firearm you should not be allowed to parry melee attacks. If you are to parry melee attacks you should be attacking with melee weapons, martial art or carries a shield.

[Maddiganed]

Antiguardians talk about Ranged init and not melee init so it can't be parried (or enormous bug)

[Obit]

WTF? Ranee isn't bugged, it uses ranged init. Only the "new" guns are bugged, ranee has been in the game from the start.

ill relook into it, forget me FC

Well, it DOES yield a lower ATK rating than a pure rifle.

But I agree with the original poster. Being a non-melle weapon,
using non-melee attacks, he should not be parried.. and, really
I've had the same thing happen a few times, and thought nothing
of it, really. But, looking at what the skill is, it is indeed in error.

BTW, why are we using a Ranee, and not a QL200 X-3? Or even
a Caterwaul, or... well that's the only 2 rifles worth anything, now.

It lowers your ATK rating.
It is 2-3x slower, considering slow speeds, and constant reloads.
It has shorter range.
It requires a Dark Blue skill, which even at 120, you cannot afford.

....makes no sense. Come to the dark side, buddy...

Uses ranged init, as mentioned. I agree, though, that another rifle
is in order. But a Tsak or Stigma? No way. Sneak a decent QL, or
just buy them, they're cheap, Caterwaul... better than both of those.
