How do you get that the speed bonus is a bug?

headshot2 + constant miss + 4 to 6 second attack time = pick a new elite profession

heh - i dueled a Pistol user today and lost. I got off fthe first shot for 750 mind damage. But since the AR mechanics are hosed, 750 is all I got instead of the 750+156% for him not wearing a hat. So the first shot didnt kill him. I never got to fire the second time because i got hit by 3 stopping shots for 1100 damage EACH. I actually survived the first one but the second on incapped me and the third landed anyway this took about 3 seconds. So a pistol user with stopping shot does about 1000 DPS. That's just plain ludicrous.

Oh! Yeah! I almost forgot! This took place at a range of 57 meters. WHERE IS THE FRIGGIN BALANCE??????????

more detail - the second shot DID NOT INCAP ME. The first shot hit my health pool and i survived due to armor. The second shot hit my actiopn pool and i stil lsurvived. The third shot hit my health pool again and that was all she wrote. Why is it that a pistol user can hit me three times for a totla of 3000+ damage at 57 metersin the same span of time that I can only him once?

Master the profession and that speed delay goes way down, u fire at a 2.0 clip or even less/ straff shot 2 does 2k+ damage as well even as high as3k with a high damage rifle.

Jobu, that speed we get at master is a bug IMO... it shouldn't be like that. Don't try and take advantage of it because i don't think it'll be there much longer.

Fuzby, That was clearly done with a T21 - a weapon that is not available on MY server. Also, once the 75% damage reduction kicks in, that 2500 will become something more like a 600. If the 2.0 speed IS in fact a bug and gets nerfed, i will nOTbe able to get another shot off like that, and WILL SURELY be killed due to the much higher DPS of pistol weapons.

Droid Engineer for teh win!

You think it's a bug? I don't think it is... I haven't gotten there yet, but I think we might need that extra boost to use our specials mosteffectively (or maybeI don't know what I'm talking about).

I'll have to throw Squad Leader in the heap of profs Rifleman is better than... I'm a Rifleman/Squad Leader so I have a good basis for comparison.

Let me put it this way... I met a Master SL the other day and asked him how he likes it... his answer "I NEVER use any of the skills. Period."
