, i hope you all are pushing to get the combat rebalance pushed FORWARD again, i think i speak for the lot of us in saying that it being pushed back at first in just balance but not skill fixes then fully in being highly disappointed with the developers.
I DO however see some logic to putting the Jedi first, not that jedi are more important but with the new jedi system you can have some force skills with other skills so they will need to balance with that. so why do two rebalances when you can do one?
however I think some of the simple fixes for pikemen, pistoleers and carbineers could be done anyway, like our 3x mod on PH3 (maybe get it not to kick people back up lol), get armor piercing working right,etc.
so on a side note: hows the community been since i left?
i aquired a 93-399 2.8spd 33/32/23 HAM, -24, 108.9% wound VL recently. (dmg/slice and powerup)

Not getting much from the devs at all, 4 of us are actively trying to change the new knucklers so they don't require the vibro units, but the dev response to it has been minimal so far.

And with that they have proven to me beyond all shadow of any doubt that they have no clue how bad this profession is hurting. To allow us to go this long this hurting and not do a thing to fix it is just plain discouraging.
The accuracy on the LVA was nice but it's a drop in the bucket to our real issues. I don't begrudge all these professions their new weapons I just want in on the pie. I have no realistic shot of ever getting an energy lance and the thing is so tough to get there is no way I'd ever use one because it would eventually break.
While I do agree with the Jedi revamp kindly remind them that the longer they hold off on the combat balance the longer we sit and wait.
They truly have no clue about this profession do they Gunman?

I think we're running out of reasons here, maybe some DEVs girlfriend is a TKM and he has to keep her happy or something, or maybe someone's great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandsomething was piked alive...

Not to mention the fact that we cant even damage the holder of our "uber" weapon. I do also agree that I have no resentment at all for the other melee classes getting new weapons and damage types, I just want ours also

The one point I disagree with: the longer they hold off on the combat balance the more time people not in the professions that work well(Rifleman, TK, CM) either start tothink about switching to one that does, or start to browse World of Warcrafts homepage and plan on switching games period.
Personally Im just bummed overall after trying out my new set up of Master Pikeman/Master Swordsman against Enraged Rancors last night on Dathomir and finding out just how poor my pike performs comparatively
PS - I think Gunman does all he can for us, I think its the developer in charge of us thats the main problem - we share him with Bio-Engineer and look at how well that class has its concerns/bugs/issues dealt with, and how well he communicates with them.

Ok now I'm truly at a loss for words.
Ask them then why they keep bringing out new weapons for everyone else but keep giving us the magical "combat revamp" for all our concerns.
Can they AT LEAST change Axkva Min's resistances so we can at least TOUCH her?

Please keep trying. For the love of God.
