It's the trade we make, don't like it? Pick up a class with good dmg along with fencer.

Problem with your agrument, we get the same defenses as you do vs high end mobs. If our defenses stayed good vs everything in this game, then I would agree with your point. But seeing how you as a Master Rifleman would have the same defenses (minus toughness)as a Master Fencer when fighting a high end mob, how is that fair? If your talking PvP, how is it a Rifleman can hit me more than 50% of the time even with CoB......maybe its because your accuracy is higher than any ranged profession in the game atm. So that means you hit me every 2 seconds with the most powerful gun in the game while my weapon bounces off the armor and psg. (I wont even attempt to explain how you have mind damage attacks and we have health). We get great defenses, but those defenses can be countered too easily and that leaves us with average defense/bad offense.
And I agree, if you do not have another combat Mastery in another profession, forget about doing anykind of worthwhile damage.

1. No, rifleman are missing one very nice defense that fencers get, melee mit, luckily, I have both 
.
2. I can't hit a fencer with cob macro at 25m more than 50% of the time. This is whyI chose melee for myself as well.
3. My weapon is also reduced by much, when it hits mind you, reduced by 40 stun armor, 45-60% psg and 44% synthsteak(yea people use it), toughness, and ranged mit. I look to dots now for a better offensive.
4. Yes, yes fencer does get a mind attack, called scatter hit.
Damn I need to update my sig, makes me look like an uber troll instead of a semi troll
