This class needs a nerf badly. At master you are just as fast, if not faster than a master gunfighter. that is just wrong, on top of that you have the jawa ion rifle which slices thru comp armor if there is no stun layer, and the t-21 is heavy armor piercingok, flame away

I think you pretty much made an ass of yourself without us having to say a word.

if you actually looked at how overpowered your class was you would agree. i would probably be saying the same stuff you guys are if i was a rifleman just because i dont want it taken away. but it needs to be nerfed some

Does your mommy work for SoE? You are crying to the wrong crew... btw NerfHerders Suck. We should just all talk it out instead of fighting... Maybe we can get our best chefs to have a Bake off? I'll remember how much we are overpowered next time I am set ablaize by a Comando that can spam his specials at 6k damage, with No HAM costs at all. Or the Master Carbiner who knocks me on my ass from 68m and I cant get up.

Go cry somewhere else Troll

the t21 a heavy repeater rifle should actually be faster then a pistol technically

Riflemen are way too powerful because of the human and zabrak races. Humans can have 1100 mind, 800 focus, and 1100 willpower, or 1100 mind, 1100 focus, and 800 willpower. As for zabraks......just get buffed and use equilibrium. Riflemen shoot too fast for as much damage as they do.Riflemen also get more melee defense thanswordsman and pikeman. This class is nowone of the big 3 in PvP: Rifleman, Combat Medic, and Teras Kasi Artist.

There wouldn't be too many cries against the Riflemen if they add the 2.5x melee defense penalty back in. Face it, there is no way that a guy with a rifle should have more melee defense than half the elite brawler professions.

That is thanks to a bug that was in the code. Oh but I guess we should all just ignore that and promote nerfing professions for being better then they actually are. If they fix our defenses (make block work and make melee not broken) I would bet 10:1 that we would loose the FoTM status and people like you would simply leave us alone and let us enjoy our class working. God commandoes have been fixed for how long and they haven't been nerfed, we finally get fixed and it is the word on everyone's lips it seems, and is destined to be.

Yep... Im a MCH too, that profession was nerfed to very near uselessness, because nerfherders cryed we were too powerful. So I master rifleman, because CH Sucks in combat and is Useless in PvP. Now there are people saying we are too powerful... **edit**. oh and btw why should we have the same range as the rest of the combat professions, to answer the Melee defence troll arguement. BTW everyone can get buffed...

The problem is not with riflemen, the problem is our ham target which is the mind. The whole combat scene badly needs a revamp. Buffs are too good, mind is too hard to heal... We are not really overpowered, it is just a stupid design that made mind damage too good.

one starred because the original post is a just a troll.

This is forums topic is idiotic at best. If people would just learn to play thier characters and abilities there wouldnt have to be cries of nerf there would be hey we need to fix this or that. And if your get owned by another player find out what they invested their skill pts in. Nothing like a master tailor pistoleer crying because Duvat cover 1 doesnt do enough damage in combat.

I'm not making an uber PvP character I know I am going to get killed in certain circumstances, and I AVOID them. Don't get close to a tkm, Don't get near a commando of the enemy on tatooine, see a combat medic have a doctor.

And If the human mind stats are a bug they better give us something in return we have NO special abilities or bonuses, even worth mentioning. In order to get those mind stats that high you have to sacrifice EVERY SINGLE BIT of health, action, and all their secondaries. I have done this, And i hunt like this also. If im lucky i get a doctor to buff my action and health bars. But more often than not im in the wilds hunting with only 400 health and action. Now talk to me about how uber i am? I have to play smart you freakin retard. If a animal aggros on me if i dont run i am incapped worse dead. I can't wear any armor worth mentioning and one hit will do me in. My only hope! ONLY HOPE, is to kill the creature before it sees me. In order to save my hide, in those instances i have a melee defense shirt that anyone else can buy. To give me some ability to get away.

I dueled my pa leader before he is a TKM in both an unbuffed and buffed fight. Unbuffed 1 hit incapped me, shots i fired at him 0. Buffed i stand a chance but the last time i did this i was fortunate to be able to get him tied up in his screen. He still landed 4 400+ hits on me before i incapped him. Neither of us were wearing armor, the only reason i won was because of the Fast acting damage of a spraystick spamming headshot3 and the fact he lost me for a second.

Fix the game parts that are broken. I am all for a partial damage modifier to be restored to give us even more vulnerability to melee attacks. So shut your freakin trap and learn to play the game. If you think we are too uber come here and find out. Play rifleman, choose all combat professions to become even better. But all these people with artisan, entertainer, medical skills, scout skills, complaining cause the get owned is BC.

Get a clue moron.

I know real life experience has no bearing on this game but I find that I'm much faster at acquiring aiming and hitting targets past 30m with a rifle than a hand gun. If anything is unrealistic in this game it's how fast gun fighters can hit targets past 30m.

A Master Rifleman gets the same melee defense as a Master Pistoleer.
