I think all the idiots calling for us to be nerfed are missing the point of our profession... Patience, stealth and smarts. We can't go in blasting like some of the other ranged guys and gals, we need to calculate what buffs and food to eat for which battles. And because so many things are energy resistant we need to draw from a few different weapons to be truly effective.
So the next moron who yells NERF THE RIFLEMEN just remember that they are probably about as smart as a rock. Just HS3 the **edit** and move on. 
Being in a profession that forces you to use tactics has it's perks....

i've seen advanced strafes for 900 damage, and HS3s for 500 damage.
500 damage a second to an unhealable pool in pvp is just too much. especially when the rifleman is running away from you at 10m.

HS3 for 500? In PvsE we can do 5000 damage with it and HS3 can do like 600 in PvsP

I'm not defending anything. If anyone who claimed we need to be nerf played as a RM and saw the HAM drain our weapons use and how much money we spend on buffs/food/etc they would see its proper use of materials that makes us better. The profession itself is working and there are many other broken ones that need to be fixed but if someone is going to b**** because they lose to a master rifleman while using crappy tactics then they should be silenced.

I havent hit a 500 strafe in I dont know how long. Anything less then 1k and I consider it a loss of condition with no pay off 
I love my "Baby Blue" Oh and speaking of blue....I was on Endor lastnight and was soloing Bol Stompers, I took down 4 glass's of Blue milk and a shot of brandy /flex

We aint overpowered, Mind damage and Armor are overpowered.
-Mind Damage is only healable by food and CM's and has a cost that limits the number of times you can heal(You can heal Action and Health indefinately)
-Armor that protects 85% effectiveness against everything but 45% effectiveness verse stun is overpowered IMO.
These two factors make us Stand out in PVP, nothing really to do with our profession. Lets say Heat was the Vulnerability to Composite armor, everyone would be a BH/Pistoleer to get eye shot and the FWG5. Or lets say action was unhealable, everyone would jump onto Carbineer. Our so called "uberness" is because the system is imbalanced not our profession.
