You know what? The other day I was using my rifleman on Scylla. T21 rifle, good, non mind restricting armour, and nice abilities.


I see a womp rat, a blue indicator for me. I get into +25 range, lie down, take aim and fire a mindshot


Whoopee. I missed. I am now helpless. The womp rat has killed me. Great balancing!


Riflemenneed


a) all the rifles to have a faster fire rate. Maybe have a new Sniper Rifle that has a slow one, but right now we're useless.


b) Some way to prevent the enemy simply running to 2m away in less than a second and killing you. Slower enemies perhaps?


c) Better accuracy. Missing a shot from perfect range lying down (repeatedly) is not right.


d) fewer nerfs from newbies who say 'HEKILLEDMYBRAWLER WHOWASDUELLINGHIMANDIWASNOTABLETOKILLHIMINSTANTLY!!!!11111111'


e) Attention from the developers, who by the way are probably worse than plumbers and electricians for laziness and not listening.


f) Longer range.


This applies to marksmen rifle specialists also.

First of all.. you fired a DoT on the womp rat which wouldn't do any damage for 20 seconds anyways.. 2nd of all, if you really did do that, and were lyingprone the mob doesn't come to you after 1 shot unless you are really close to it. Here's a better strategy.. go prone ~55m away, fire headshot (or headshot2 if you have it.. whichseems doubtful) and keep firing

I got more than headshot2. I'm a rifleman. Not just a marksman.

My advice if it kills you, find another mob. Plenty of people have made Master in this profession using the same skills you have available. If you wont use them, then that is your problem, but dont expect any simpathy.

No. If it's because of the register date, I shall explain it to you in short words or phonetically.

Learn to play your class before crying about it ok.


a) by master you will be firing everything at 1 shot per second. Before master I never had a problem with the speed I fired.


b) Teleporting enemy bug asside Enemies follow the same movement rules players do this includes Hills and scout levels. It takes you longer to move 60m than 2 seconds.


c) This NEVER happened to me. Only time I ever missed at optimal range while prone was against a moving target. (wait till the target stops moving) by Sniping Accuracy 3 this wasn't even a problem anymore.


d)There has only been one Nerf to riflemen and honestly doing 7k damage with a laser rifle to a group of targets at 60 meters firing once a second, I don't really care.


e)IMO the Dev's are doing a pretty good job. The game is playable they are making good additions. Things take time especially in something this complicated SWG is 1.77 GIGS of code. Think about that.


f) range is fine we do have advantages at range that other classes don't.

ROFL, dude this is one of the worst complaint threads I've seen. Why would anyone use mind shot on a womp rat? Lets see, kill it in 1-3 shots depending on skill and weapon with one of the HSs or wait 20 secs for a mind bleed to kick in? Even if it did come at you just get up and run away while shooting, I can take things that con red to me this way. How does your mistakes make our class screwed?

Umm actually I have missed three times in a row from ideal range with a rifle while prone and using aim on the first shot. It is not that hard to miss several times in a row on a non moving target -
