the 2.5 dmg modifier was taken out in publish 5. however in publish 7 they are adding a modifier that makes it easier for melee players to hit a player using a range weapon. Not sure if it applies to creatures or not.


Currently at master you have +160 accuracy/+170 with master marksman. If you tell me that within 50m you can hit anything with a rifleman, that's just telling me you havent gotten very fair with rifleman. I have absolutely no problem what so ever hitting anything from 1m to 64m at all, unless they are defense stacking players.


I reallly dont think we need a stopping style shot. Our starfe 2 shot is awesome, especially when paired with a good t21 rifle. You can just about kill any mob from the 10 to 15k ham range with maybe as high as 50% energy with light armor from 60m and stop it dead in it's track before it gets melee range. I can spam strafe 2 with a laser rifle on a piket lair destroy it in 10 seconds and all the mobs will die in the process charging at me because of the AOE effect.


Getting a KD or delay still move would just bring on more cries of nerfs, not like we dont get enough of that already. Oh and on my server i see rifleman everywhere. Especially the people that do alot of PvP.

another balence for us poor rifleman is that we need to migrate our stats to as close to 400/400/400/400/400/400/1100/1100/800 as possible.


its embarrasing that un buffed you can get your arse kicked by a pack of kreetles.

The Rifleman Knockdown should be the buttstroke. That would be awesome. It would give us a chance to run away.
