no special damage type means exactly that, damage that specials can do. So you will still be able to hit mind like 10% of the time with random pool attacks like we do now, but you cant target it specifically.

I assume mind is going to become Stim healable, but that might be making an "Ass" out of "u" and "me".


Sorry old joke had to do it

I guess the only kind of rifle you've ever seen is a bolt-action then?

If they reduce our speed through Cap or Mod adjustment they will not increase our damage. They will "Balance" us, which means they will nerf us. They see a bunch of newer riflemen and say "Hey we gotta make rifleman unatractive so we can reduce their number" they don't say "Why do riflemen have an advantage in our system? What's wrong with our system that constantly makes one profession the strongest"- Thats all hypothetical if they reduce our speed.


If they act like smart little developers and just take away the power of mind damage and nerf armor so Stun is not the only viable damage type then they have proved that they are making steps to truely "balance" the game.

I lump Automatic assult "rifles" and Shotguns all together in a profession this game calls Carbineer. I have always thought this... when I see rifles, I think of slow sniper rifles... I don't think the T21 was made to "run and gun" with like an EE3 is. Carbineers are supposed to have the "machine guns" in this game.










Assault rifles are assault rifles, long barreled weapons firing high power ammunition. Carbines are shorter barreled rifles which generally use lower powered ammunition. An M16 is a Rifle. An M4 (looks like an M16, but smaller) is a carbine.

tometaophion has a very good point, especially about carbineers. And i really do think their specials accurately reflect it, they are good at medium range as they should be, they can apply several different status effect blind, dizzy and stun all from one special and dont forget their single and AOE KD moves.


The real debate has always been between pistoleers and rifleman. The main arguement being that we shouldnt be faster then them based on that fact that our weapons are suppose to be slower sinceour rifle speeds are slower then pistols. While us rifleman love to rub in the fact that in RL rifles are far superior weapons in most condition, it being faster, more accurate and deadier. I also think that the pistol nerf a few month back (the one that effected the scatter, fwg, and LP mostly) didnt help out either. Backthen some lucky pistoleers had some pretty awesome weapons (krayt / feed mech enhanced ones) and even your average joe had at least a weapon that was 50 damage higher then what it is now. With no damage nerf to the rifles this served to furtherincreasethe DPS gap. Now pistoleers argue we are overpowered, when in my opinion our professions is where it should be (minus block not working) and their profession is broken.They need to push for a higher speed mod bonus to make them self equal to us without having to resort to taking up Bounty Hunter. Oh yeah and the arguement about stun isnt really valid, since they do have 2 stun pistols now ( the tangle and the new geneosian ones).I seen some krayt enhanced geno pistols that are 400+ max damage. Also stun protection is available in the game so that's not really a valid complaint. Just add stun layer to any armor, use synth steak, or use a PSG (abeit when it's not shifting vunlerability).


The only profession that really should be complaining are the carbineers that only have 3 damage base Heat, Acid and Energy, are by far the slowest range profession and no range or melee defense bonus to speak of. But that shouldnt mean that they come to the rifleman forum to cry nerf when they should be aiming threads at the dev to get their professions fixed.

thats a load of crap, i mean both combat professions classes (brawler and marksman) have weapons that specifically (spelled wrong probaly) target the health, action, and the mind. well if they take away the mind part whats taking its place? a weapon that hits all three at once? but rifleman are SUPPOSED to take down people fast, hence the title SNIPER, for accuracy, correct me if im wrong but dont snipers take people down in like one shot? i am personally doing rifles cause i like rifles not because rifleman take people down so fast. in all shooter games i pick the sniper rfile over the machine gun because i like being the silent stalker and the one who will kill everyone without them knowing where i am.

Just thought i would share my perspective on this.

oh also, if a rifle is firing faster than a pistol it means the person is farther up the rifleman tree than probally the pistol guy is up in the pistoleer tree, or he only has pistols 4 from marksman and thinks he can take on a rifleman

It could be saying that the mind cannot be incapped, you could take away the specials from that person until he heals it.
