I would keep it as long as I can still use the marksman specials. Specifically the suppression fire. All those fireballs flying at the target is just so cool.

I care about it. You want to balance it out so it's fair we have rifleman penalties? Fine, let me do mind shots with my flamethrower. I'll climb the rifleman tree as long as the specials work with the heavy weapons that are now being given the negatives of rifles, but not the benefits.

Seriously though. If you want to do a bleedshot with it, run in, hit the special, then equip something else like your LP. After the flamestrike, you can't do anything else anyhow. If you want to run around and fire the FT normally, you can still stay ahead of the melees and not get hit, so the damage modifier is not there either.

I don't really like it, but it doesn't bother me. I don't try to bean the mobs on the head with the FT, I stay away from them.

Trystan, what mobs do you fight? I've been getting one shotted by level 15 critters for the past 24 hrs. All it takes is ONE hit to nail us, and starting from within 16m virtually guarantees that yes, they WILL get that one hit. I don't know about you, but I fight more often then I have burst run available to use.

Riflemen get cover. Riflemen get defensive mods. Riflemen start from 64m, not 16m. We have none of that.

hey i've been taking out the same mobs as pre-patch last night.. except i take2x the damage lol...

LMAO. Up until this wretched patch, I could take on 3 to 4 stormtroopers solo and kick their butts soundly, no problemo. How? Not too difficult really: good composite armor and quality stimpacks if I needed it. Imagine my chagrin when I faced five stormtroopers and a high-ranking Imperial officer last night and was owned in two shots, all the while wearing my fancy armor and a juicy C stim on the quick bar. Hahahaha, cloning center for Ladigo.

To rub salt in the wound, I was being one-hitted by bolmas mobs on Dathomir all night long afterwards. Yep, that's right. Bolmas.
