Cause that wasnt a one i got hit for

2846 one shot

Cloned rebuffed and thought hell that must been a lucky damage hit

2304 next round

Clone rebuffed thought well happens again then i out here

and 3079 at which point i decided a little break from pvp was in order. I dont mind dieing but lets just say seem a little too much bull**edit** when your getting hit for 2000+ damage per shot from another player. Esp when it been happening for over a week yet nothing has been done aboat it.

Just a give idea i was buffed on hps to 2.5 k action and health doesnt help much as i was incapped on first shot . Now even if those hits where 3x due to being lighting rifles which i heard do melee damage> Devide that by 3 damage he is doing is 750 to 1000 average with a weapon he was shotting twice as fast i can shot a 4.2 second jawa ion rifle. Ow couple other nice facts those shots hit my compersate armor which prevented 33% damage.

Anyway thats what happened you can judge if its balanced or not. Basicly the Devs new content going destroy this game if they presist with introduceing new and improved ways to powerup weapons to extreme damage.

Example is kyrate tissue giveing +30% to +47% damage. Now add in slice and Damageing enhancer and suddernly that weapons doing 90% more then normal weapon. Which will quickly throw balance out window.

Anyway anoth whineing on issues devs need take a good look at damage being delt. Sure a rifleman with pre patch T21 can hit average 400 damage but big deal if he dies one hit EVEN when doctor buffed.

Goes up higher then +37 for further information i refer to the weapon master boards - http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=weaponsmith&message.id=12880

Still i have killed a few dragons with friends and only seen +33 damage ones but have heaps fo kyrte tissue +4% all defense and lots kryt comp pieces.

Problem is armor is woofully useless. the ham penalties for wearing a few pieces of Comp such as helmat and chest are crazy. And fact is untill armor pieceing is fixed vs naked targets people actualy worse of useing armor. Btw i was also useing an energy shield which gives +10 energy protection 7% to other protections. Dided mention this cause it never went of.

and before you reply. . .

yes this was a special

The text "concentrated blast of lightning" only accompanies the LLC specials lightning single 1 and lighting single 2 and they have a range of less than 20 meters.

Flamethrower and LLC specials have a max range of 16m. This isn't the real issue - the real issue is that LLC and flamethrowers are currently bugged as -melee- damage. So you immediately take extra damage while holding a rifle, even if they aren't using specials.

What's funny is that you don't even have to be a rifleman to take the extra damage.

I say, pick up a melee class, be covert, go to an overt enemy BH, give him a rifle and say hey, check this gun out. When they take it, wield your melee weapon and beat them senseless

There's more than one way to gimp a BH. There's 3

Ok, so you're staying out of thier range and you're thinking to yourself "Yea man.. I'm actually living for a little bit, could I win?" And then the BH just pulls out a pistol and eyeshots you to death.
