No matter what way you look at it, it always comes down to this being the reason as to why rifleman suck:

Its all in the weapons my friend, and when our best gun has a max stat capped at 350, its a no wonder why we suck so much.
**edit** you smoking man i can get a laser rifle with over 600, and a t21 450
yea...with a delay of 6 seconds on your T21
and a delay of4 seconds on your laser rifle
Yet this weapon outdamages both and shoots at least 4 times as fast.
thats nothing, some weaponsmiths on Intrepid are making and selling 738 point FWG5 pistols.
check out the server board for intrepid and scroll down 2-3 pages to find their advertisements.
I dont believe we will lose our speed.
With the changes to defenses, specials will not be used as much for the plain fact that you will miss alot. With that said more of the fight will be about auto attack, with specials used only in optimal range. If they lower our speed our auto attack will be useless, our ability to PvP would be destroyed.
If they were stupid enough to lower our speed, they would end up having to lower our HAM use considerably, raise base damage on our weapons, and raise our accuracy. These are all things that would be very hard for them to balance out.
Right now we have the worst accuracy at our optimal range then any other weapon class. That is acceptable because of the high damage of our weapons, and the speed at which we fire. Take one or the other away and you get a very broken profession, why I think they wont do it.
Yeah
Yeah
You can but can you spam your eye shot or Fan shot every second?
If you can do that can your mind support that?
If it can, can you even get semi close to beating a master BH as a Master Riflemen?
With a good damage sliced laser and a max damage power up a master can hit everything in a area for 800 to 4800 damage every one to two seconds. That's 200 to 1200 PvP with which you can occasionally take out an entire group of masters by your self.
The journey to master rifleman does truly suck though, and we pay for this ability in many many ways.

Well our accuracy problem is solved on TC. Im pretty sure they gonna cap our speed on 2.5 or 3 soon.
They are working on 'combo' skills and lower HAM costs etc. They WILL cap us when they add those codes into the game i think.
If it comes to that we might have a chance of getting normal attacks capped at 1 with specials at 2.5 or whatever.
