Interesting to know (only 0/0/2/3 in rifle atm). Bit of a shame in ways - I was looking forward to being forced to take up position, use aim, etc like a proper sniper. Being able to run round and fightequally well takes the specialness away. For me, a big pull with rifleman was the ability to hit mind - not for PvP reasons but because I team up with a swordsman a lot. Even with mastered carbine I wasn't doing enough appreciable damage compared to her smashinga mobsmind pool in, so may as well hit the same pool on a target more of the time. Found states not too reliable (compared to my BH's carbine moves - admittedly he attacks NPCs more than my carbineer tended to) and the area effect not bad but not so good compared to say Fan Shot. Its a shame, I really wanted to like carbineer but it ended up dissapointing me.
Well, hopefully the combat balance will sort everything out, give each combat class a unique niche, bring world peace and save the rainforests.
Though I do take issue with your sig - Boba Fett was taken out by Han with a polearm. Sort of, Ish.
Eesh, I'm in an oddmood this week.
(apology to TAFirehawk, I mbe jumped to conclusions over some timings of markings and similar, thanks jfang for putting things straight overall)
