Wait! b4 u say anything i am a Master Rifleman.


I think its not fair all these dabblers, and noobs are jumpin on the Rifleman bandwagon, cuz we are semi-uber now. Ive been here since launch and i remember when conceal shot brought the whole crowd and a incomming rockbeetle meant instant incap. However i stuck threw it and made master anyway by using "threaten/warning shot" I would like the 2.5x multiplyer returned so that we dont get NERFed to hell. We have too much that is broken (cover, surpiseshot,) so if we get a nerf it will RUIN the class. The 2.5x makes us fair and balance. It also makes reaching Master that much sweeter. I hate seeing 100 rifleman noobs running around with out fear of attacking a lair, its a slap in the face to all the rifleman that had to struggle hard to reach Master.


By reinstating the 2.5x multiplyer we will :


1. avoid nerf bat


2. Thin out the class (only those that truley want to be a rifleman will join)


3. Make reaching Master a Long and challenging journey AS IT SHOULD BE!


If I wanted to master an ez class I would have gone CH.

And we preaty much all agree that it is a good idea to have a melee damage multiplier brought back.


My only two extra thoughts are thus:

1) Be shure we don't get paisted by BH and Commando weapons like before.

2) Maybe only 2.0x dmg?

NO


What is "flavor of the month"-ing us it the stacking. DESPITE what you have heard this has still not been fixed. Focus on that first please before you crap-load us into dieing in one hit. There are other, MORE VIABLE, things you can do then that... increased damage as a function of the weapon you holdis the DUMBEST idea ever concieved.

I would prefer it, if this was brought back, to only become active at mastery. Leveling rifles up is hard and time consuming. No two ways about it, and back when we had the 2.5x it was almost impossible at times. I really don't think the newbies should be forced towade through all that again. Also 2.5x is a bit much in my mind, maybe 1.5x or 2 but 2.5 just makes it an insta kill for no real reason.

Have to disagree..........we should NOT ask for the damage multiplyer back. At least not the full 2.5x. Devs made other changes to compensate or removing our damage multiplyer..........not to us directly, but to other professions and npc's. The latest one being the bleed nerf so we can't stack them any longer. I'm just saying if we go back to the multiplyer, then they would need to reverse other changes they've made since then too. They should look into some other form of handicap to add, but not the 2.5x damage multiplyer for melee...........I never liked getting killed by 1 punch even though I can't kill in 1 shot with a freaking gun.


oh, and 1 more thing..............the dabblers are here ONLY because of the bonus stacking mods. Once those go away, so will a lot of riflemen dabblers.

the people asking for the 2.5 multiplier all have something in common. they have been rifleman since the beginning of the game. they are bitter at people who haven't been rifleman since beta or whatever and want to distance themselves from everyone else cause they are special.

They need to remove the defense stacking if they want the Matrix style PVP to stop. Everyone should pick a toon and name itfrom matrix and just become a stacker and then we can call it "Matrix Galaxies:The Game where you dodge/counter/miss everything" and everyone has the same template and fights last for 40 minutes because you miss 95% of your attacks.



The Matrix Has You...



Everyone just go this template and then it will sure to get nerfed we just need more people to see how badarse it really is.



Go: Master Rifleman / Master TKA with fencer 4/0/4/0 and you are NEO. Godly. Unstoppable. You will NEVER have to fight using TKA stuff. Just hold that Jawa rifle and watch and be amazed. Everyone I know in the game **edit** about these template everyday. SWG will either force everyone into one of these templates or nerf it.

My problem is that I am already fair and balanced. I am a wookiee. I already have the effective 2.5x modfier by not being able to wear armor. Bringing back the 2.5x multiplier will KILL ME. Making it more lik 5x!!!! Its all well and nice to want to avoid nerfs but don't sell me down the river too! Rifleman is just fine the way it is for me. I die plenty in both PVE and PVP, despite being master ch/master rifle. If you are a human with 1100 in all mind categories and 90% resist composite it is a different thing. LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!!! I agree that any severe nerfs will kill the class but take into consideration other races in this. Wooks get penalized enough already...

My vote is NO. I don't want the multiplier back. I don't get damage mitigation when fighting at close combat so I take plenty of damage. DOTs don't stack anymore, specials cost a ton to fire, and it's just not worth it.


I say let them hit us with the nerf bat. It can't be much worse than getting incapped all the time when the multiplier was around. (And yes, I did make Master Rifleman before they took away the x2.5 modifier.)


It's good to see more riflemen (and women). I didn't see enough when I was leveling. I had to pay for training for half my ranks in rifleman because there weren't enough. I would encourage every rifleman to go out and recruit 2 others to the rifleman class. Lets make this the most common class in the game.
