shameless bump...cmon people, help a fellow BH out here...

rifleman is the new uber profession with CM and DOC

Combat revamp ?? where ??

I only have expereince with pistoleer, Improved stopping shot is VERY useful as you know. However reading about rifleman crawling up and front loading thousands of points of damage sounds fairly exciting. You also get ot use the T21 as Master Rifleman, a pretty good weapon.

I respec'd out of pistols to rifles, but I like rifleman...cover is a fun special to have, and sniper shot does sick damage. I do miss stopping shot, but meh...if you prefer to deal damage, i'd so go with rifleman. If you would rather be the "puppet master" so to speak, you may be better off as a pistoleer.

I personally love pistols, but i know im at a disadvantage with them. I'm stubborn, and ill keepcomplaining about them till something gets fixed. Considering ive been doing that for almost 2 years now im not sure if theyre listening. Rifles is better from what i understand, but it depends on if you want whats best or what suits you. If your lucky, its both.

Forget your current template...drop all that crap and go Master Slingshot/Master Name Calling with 0400 Smack Talking...it's the best!!

Now, seriously, here's what to consider..

Both rifleman and pistoleer utilize Recon ( high energy) armor, but, in the long run, pistoleer gives you more "anytime shots", whereas alot of rifleman shots need to be set-up ( correct posture, distance, warm-up, etc..).

Pistols is great attack, with AE variety as well, and has better overall mod defenses and is generally faster than rifle. Now, major downside...need to be a hell of alot closer than rifleman.

So, playing style?...close and confident, or distant and deadly...
