Thread: THE VOTES are in: Summing up the Riflemen.
I am glad that I stopped in here.
Before I was nailing every first shot. Now I cannot hit the broad side of a Fambaa.
I am not one to bitch but this sucks bad!
What do we need? We need something compensating our Melee Penalty. What would this be? Yes: Reduced long range aiming penalty. We need more hits in long range combat. Heck, we have to have a chance fighting BHs spamming Headshots from 60m away, getting hardly to-hit-penalty because of their skills, while we get full penalty for them while they're moving.
The key must be range. However they make it: On long ranges wo own. On close distances we are dead, but on long ranges we own.
I just dont understand how we can expect to do anything in PvP when a rifleman with ALL FOUR ACCURACY BOXES misses 75% of the time with a T-21 at ideal range while standing still and aiming.
I know the problem doesn't go awayat master either. We have 3 master rifleman in our PA and every single one of them is having the same problem. I'm not even talking about run and gun, im talking about standing still and shooting inside their IDEAL RANGE and missing more than HALF the time.
Meanwhile a 0/0/4/0 Bounty Hunter who spent 1/5th the combat xp and 1/3 the weapon xp as a master rifleman can run around doing cartwheels while burst running at max range, spamming eyeshots that do 250 dmg per second, and landing every one of them with 100% accuracy.
BS? I think so.
Will it ever get fixed? Hell no. We've got a rifleman correspondent who really plays a Bounty Hunter.
Sorry, were not the worse to hit class.. there is one that is far worse, and this perticular class is far mor broken than we rifleman are.. its my other class.. Pikeman.. hahahaha.. out main weapon has a -50 to -55 to hit at all ranges and is slow as hell.. leave it to me to pick a busted melee class to back up a busted marksman class.. hahaha.. as for Rifle.. i took out a group of 6 bynire (sp?) pirates last night when they spawned on me.. but im also a doctor and could heal myself.. that the only reason i survived..
later all
