Thread: Safe to say rifles have been changed??
Yes rifles are more long range single damage now, that is entirely correct.
What is incorrect is carbineers are the multi target damage dealers.
they are not.
they have multi target attacks, but they are not high damage attacks, they concentrate mainly on debuffs(crowd control).
the AoE damage dealers now appear to be commandos, and the ability to use rifle weapons with commando specials, and vica versa, would, to me, mean the ultimate AoE attacker in this system being commando/rifleman.

Yeah- it is changing. But it is going for the better I think. that was what it was meant to be, I believe.

And stop complaining and try ranger. Instead of giving us the kinetic armor (yeah, all we fight are kinetic dealers) they gave us Battle, and then decided we werent a combat class so we will eb running around being incapped by chubas.
When tailors tell you they cant make anythingstart complainign all the rangers packed their bags and left, well, you'll just have to run around naked or go harvest the chubas yourself.
rangers is a support profession...much like commando, bh and cm are
u go only with those on the field and u willdie 99.9% of the times...u have to have a pure combat profession back you or ur done...nothing to complain about.
rifleman,carabineer,pistoleer and fencer,tkm, pikeman and swords are the main combat professions in the game... commando much like bh has "add-ons" with extra mods and weapons...and rangers arent exactly ur run of the millwarriors or whatnot. in the movies the closest thing were scout troopers and they used pistols so i dunno.
ull most likely get the ld1 rifle tho

First off, I am afraid I only speak English, so in order for me to fully understand you're posts you will have to post in it 
And second of all, perhaps none of you realize this, but rangeris the most "screwed" of all professions so far. They expect us to fight and spend 2/3 of our skillpoints getting Master Ranger. We will be harvesting chubas because we won;t be able to solo anything- I am not asking for Krayts here, but I have a feeling that anyone who doesn;t play ranger wouldn't be able to understand. You can choose ONE combat profession, and that is all you have to take down anything. Our traps are crap, camps are worthless in combat, Tracking isn't effective since you have to have SPAWN something (been near it and caused it to pop up) before tracking, meaning what you are tracking is what ypu've already seen, and finally, we are being outharvested by "uber" pure combat players who get novice scout and harvest rancors by the hundreds.
Wait! I take it all back- Devs just went public with the news that ranger and scout WILL ADD to CL!

Well I got a hunch that Ranger + Rifles might be an awsome combo.. with the change to Ranger on its way I think the cammo kits might play a bigger role.. cover + cammo kit might become awsome. Guessing ofcourse
But I agree, a rifleman is the true sence of the word is a marksman, with precision shooting, sniping and covert ops. But damage and speed wise rifles still rock.. perhaps even more so now
Well Camo Kits right now don't work at all in CU. I'm assuming they will be fixed. They better be anyway.
For all the testing I've done with Cover and ConcealShot so far, I've found it to be utterly useless in PVE fighting. Hopefully that will get addressed as well.
