And don't say that lowered posture counts, because if it does, you have supression fire.

The fact that one special attack requires people to pick up defense to it or else stand no chance is the definition of "overpowered" and only proves our point.


Thanks.

OH PLEASE. I am talking ranged combat. Melees are already screwed over in PvP most of the time. I am saying as a ranged profession we are singled out as not having a knockdown. Hell I don't even think ranged knockdown should exist in PvP. And as for Lobo, I still don't see Pistoleers, Carbineers, and BHs taking other professions with the sole purpose of counteringONE of our skills. We SHOULDN'T have to in order to counter one of theirs.

Silverdumbo, I don't need to call Miss Cleo to know you are a bounty hunter in rifleman's clothing.

I love how you equate what we have to do to defend against the attack as being forced, while on the same hand a Master BH takes 227 skill points, and Master Rifleman takes all of 93. Under your thinking you should with less then 50% of used points be able to hang with that class, remarkable, and you call me a idiot?


Who ever said I "redisigned" my character? See that is the issue you still think you should be able to make master and own every class in this game regardless of how many skill points they must give up in the process. Well if that is the case I want a Anti pet attack, let me press a button and the pet dies,cause they areway over powered. I want a anti healing skill, I mean being able to heal durring a fight, that is BS. I need these skills and many others because against me they are way overpowered, I shouldnt have to spec outside of my chosen path because of these abilities.


So just continue to ram your head against the wall their taco, shut your eyes and cover your ears in the hope that SOE will ignore the fact that they have already put something in the game to stop KD and give you and all the other whinners a free ticket.

I believe what most people are trying to say here is that Master Rifleman get OWNED by almost every other elite tree. If a commando can blast me with a Rocket Launcher, I should be able to shoot him in the face with a T-21, which doesnt even exist in my server (Radiant) yet by the way. Although I really cant talk about how the T-21 isnt over powered yet, because I can't yet own one, I still see a VERY stong resemblance between the new T-21 stat ideas, and my Laser Rifle, with one difference. The T-21 fires even slower. So PLEASE fix the game, so that I can at leastUSE the T-21 before the changes are made.

You shouldn't have to grabRANDOM skills inRANDOM professions to JUST have a chance at defending against ONE SKILL.

You are right baron you should just whine about the attack instead. Great concept you have, if it takes to much work just whine and whine more tell you get your way. I thought most people grew out of that by the time they were 2 yrs old.

Dizzy posture change thing only works on moronic pvp n00bs like you. You only fall down if YOU change positions, not if someone else changes your postition.

Well... to be fair, if I dizzy them then posture down, and they just sit there kneeling to avoid falling down, I am still going to win. From bleeds if from nothing else. In practice I have never seen a person NOT try to stand back up after I have used posture down on them, even highly skilled players. It's just human nature.

Highly skilled. BWAHAHA. whatever. there is no skill in this game, merely learned responses. And that's a very easy one to learn.

Only people who lose all the time say there is no skill involved. As a rifleman I have beaten groups of5 or more on many occasions. It's not luck. It's not a "learned response".


That's just... stupid.
