Heres my idea. i am sure it has been mentioned before, but i was thinking about it the other day.

its obvious the weapon speeds in the game are out of wack. so why not just cap each professions speed with a weapon, instead of an across the board cap at 1.0?

cap pistoleers at 1.0

carbineers at 2.0

riflemen at 3.0

isnt that how it should have been from the start? wouldnt that solve a lot of the problems? I dont know if it would even out the DPS of each profession, but I suspect riflemen would still be doing the most, and pistoleers the least. but we would be putting out 3 times as many shots as the riflemen. i think that would go a long way to balance things out a bit.

ok, tell me my idea is stupid.

no it wouldnt work, you just have to have hard caps. There were rumors that they would be putting a slower hard cap on rifleman.

Well I think if we should not have more than AP1, a rifle should not be able to fire once a second since they look at rifles power for AP to where pistols dont get it.

Yeah, it's actually been brought up by a developer in the past. Very publicly, I might add. That was many months ago and we don't know what's going on with it.

Personally, I would favor a reworking of speed and speed mods as a whole (obviously) to achieve these ends, with hard caps as a secondary measure. A sort of "okay, players should never hit these speeds with this weapon anymore, but just in case they do, they won't fire any faster thanX - guaranteed."

i totally agree, Randon....... i was entertaining the notion of the speed equation equal at most 2 or 3 seconds off your current weapon speed..... meaning at our 74, there should be very few weapons that would need that extra 26

i posted it in some other thread (the equation) but it was just pulled out of my head /shrug
*edit and here is my proposal:

speed = weapon speed - 3(speed skill/100)
with a hard cap at 1 for pistols, 2 for carbines, and 4 for rifles..... not sure about melee or heavy weapons though

idon't likethe fact that if there was no hard cap, we could do infinite damage
