It is that time of the year ladies and gentleman. Combat Medic has received its’ nerf and now there is nothing more to /cry more noob about --- except Rifleman.
Tell me, a Combat Medic applies poison that ticks every ten (10) seconds. No matter the strength, effectiveness, potency, there is always a ten second delay and then damage. Why are Riflemen doing damage every second, not on a non-healable pool (Combat Med heals mind), equivalent to Combat Medic poison and allowed to persist in this?
I find a great disparity between the damage times and complete similarity to the damage. With speed tapes and range, aiming mods, Riflemen can deal out roughly the equivalent of 2-3 CMs if there was no speed cap.
NERF!! Rifleman must be nerfed as I was killed in 2 seconds by Rifleman using a Krayt Ion Rifle. This is a form of griefing. This is ridiculous. I demand a nerf to rifle speed and damage.
I want the Devs to address this. Rifle last as long as CMs on the battlefield up close but, like poison and disease, at a distance they can hammer the mind away at insane speeds. I demand a nerf. I want a nerf.
I am crying more as a Nubzore to get a nerf.
The end, more to come

yes its every 10 seconds, but they can also be a master rifle with speed cap, which would give them 1 extra dmg per ten seconds making mind shot equilavent to a 0.9 speed shot.

I always love it when someone gets beaten by a profession, then comes to their boards and cries nerf. Happens in every MMO with pvp in it. It's almost funny. Then what happens? The nerf-monger gets beaten down on the boards too. It's a lose-lose scenario. Too bad people can't figure out to move on after they get stomped.

I'm assuming that this is a joke post. But in case not you have my responses.

Probably the same reason any combat profession can. As for hitting the Mind pool. That is also targetable by TKA, Swordsman, Commando, and BH. One thing to strongly keep in mind here. CM isa support profession, it isn't suppose to be a direct combat profession.

However there is a speed cap. Also most professions can rather easily hit their speed caps with tapes or stacking.

I doubt you were killed in 2 sec in PvP unless you were completely unbuffed and probably unarmored. The PvP reduction alone makes this scenario unlikely.

CM's bypass armor/resists completely. Other weapons do not. Also a CM can effect you long after they are killed. No other profession can. Also in the past they had 100% accuracy. They also ignored your ranged/melee defense and any secondary defenses. I'm not sure if this was changed recently but believe it was suppose to have been. Also until the recent changes the CM had a range of up to 90M or so. So please watch what you mention about distances or accuracy.

LOL, I give up, was a tkm, go to the board there, somebody crying nerf, nerf, nerf, I'm a rifleman now, nerf nerf, nerf, I'm a creature handler, go to the boards there, just crying. How about dancer? anyone crying to nerf dancers?
Mondo lines up on quenkers and breaks into ...... POPULAR DANCE !! qnenker goes down, 5k damage, stunned and dizzy from trying to follow Mondo's new moves.
Next day there's a bounty on Mondo from the dancers guild because of crys of NERF NERF NERF because a troll spyed this new move and deemed it unfair because his chef could not match this damage with his Krayt spatula.

That was a pretty bad joke post I must say. A tad too real, yet notidiotic enoughto be a satire. Perhaps if you had brought up child sacrifice orthe delay of the combat revamp in favor of a merchant nerf to somehow effect our role in PvP...
