Thread: So what are they nerfing rifleman on?
It depends on if you want to trust the rumors or not. Plus it is taken out of context so if what xors said is trly what will happen it may not be as bad as we think due to the changes hitting other professions as well balancing it out but...
3 second cap, lowering our defenses (anyone could see it from a mile away), and lowering the damage done by strafeshot 2.
lowering our defenses or fixing the bug with being hit while holding a rifle?
big difference...in my opinion at least

Both.
Also the damage reduction isn't just Strafe2. It's all AoEs we have.
If the rumors turn out to be true, and the rumors originated the day they accidentally let everybody into the corespondant forums. Then we're looking at a 74% reduction in rifle DPS. Basically pistoleers that hit harder but shoot slower.
If this happens I'd rather be a pistoleer and keep up the rate of fire. Nothing worse than having to wait forever to get off that next shot.

Hmmmm... such a drastic change in DPS would make us all but fodder in PVP and fairly useless in PVE as well. If this profession gets gimped that bad I won't move to another profession, I simply don't want to play another profession. I'll just cancel my subscription and stop paying / playing Heh!
It'd be nice to get some official info on this from someone though.
The speed cap is friggin dumb and the Strafe Shot nerf is an added slap in the face.
Oh I'm aDeveloper and can't add two plus two and find out when rifles have a 3 second cap and carbines have a 2 second cap everyone will flock to pistoleer.
Reasons why:
-Gorax bone shards can enhance the Tangle pistol(Making it just as powerful as a Jawa rifle)
-Krayt tissue can enhance a geo pistol(Same as above)
