Pistoleer Archive

With the changes on test, Classes like Riflemen are going to be hit hard...Any class who relies mostly on High-Damage hits, like straff shot, is going to find out that they can not do much, if anything....

Im in a group of 4 and theres this overt rifleman. I have a TEF on him so im thinking **edit** lets kill this guy, so i walk up to him then use panic shot. Hes delayed for 10 seconds so im thinking....w000t this **edit**er is going down. So the other 3 in the group start spamming shots and im thinking **edit** why is this guy still standing. So I look in the combat que and guess what we are missing everyshot. Then once the 10 sec is over he hits me for 900 with strafeshot and all 4 of us are dead. I checked the combat que after and i counted at least 30 misses in a row. I am a master pistoleer with dirty fighting 4. Heres a screenshot of my combat que after the fight:

So im thinking....wow these rifleman are **edit**ing awsome with their ranged defense, and then i come across the change notes on test center and notice this:

* Rifle *

Removed old rifle crawl skill mods (unused)

Increased rifle accuracy

Increased rifle Aim Accuracy

Increased melee defense

Increased ranged defense

Increased block mods

Increased ranged defense mods

So now what i wanna know is....how the hell do we take out a rifleman. They shoot faster than us, they do more damage than us per shot, and we cant even hit them.

Something else is going on here... I say this because some of the shots that were missing this dude were advanced strafe shots too... ergo they were from other high level rifleman.

This guy had some serious mojo... almost like a jedi. Anyway, don't cry nerf on the rifleman too fast because some of your compatriots were rifleman and were missing just like you.
