Thread: Nerf/quit... A serious question for the dedicated rifleman..
I'm hanging around until the Space Expansion comes out. If it's okay (no massive game destroying bugs, plzkthxbai), I'll stay in.
The SE sucks, I'm gone.
As for any Rifleman nerfs.....We'll see when we find out exactly what it is they're going to do.

I can't understand how some of you can sit here and contemplate quitting because they are nerfing your precious "broken" rifleman. Personally, it's stupid that a rifleman can fire as fast as a master pistoleer, and be just as accurate from point-blank range... and not to mention having standard 700+ dmg rifles with heavy AP
You're lucky, I don't feel like diggin up all the points nor spending the time to have a conversation with you over how your points are wrong or simply taken to an extreme or simply misinformed. I really do need to get working on polishing up my english paper and this would just rob me of too much time.
Wow... do me a favor, and please find time. This ought to be good. I've been both professions, believe me, riflemen are over-powered.
And what's this someone else is saying about HAM costs? HAHAHAHAHHA, please, with buffs and brandy, how can anyone **edit** about ham costs anymore.. give me a break please.
Lets recant the pistoleer whines-
Why are BH's better with a pistol?
Why do I have to pick up smuggler?
Why do riflemen deal more damge quicker then us?
Why are Commandos so powerful?
Why did the Carbineers get fixed in publish 7 and we got nothing?
Why why why?
HA HA HA AH HA HA HA
Oh and you heard Yachew, Commando is working as intended, don't ever ask for any fixes then. Keep that Shotty ass HAR and Kiteable FT because your comparing your profession with a profession that functions and has no bugs.

I don't know. I think I'd just beextremely dissapointed if they nerf us. First off to compete in PvP I have to be buffed a lot. Even with Muon I can drain my mind easily if I take a shot to the head. Not to mention our buffs are expensive. Not 7k creditbuffs from a Doctor that last for 3 hours. Our mind pool cannot be healed unless a CM is feeling extremely generous. I've only had my mind healed by one once or twice, andthat was by a good friend. Not only that, but if you look at some of the new guns from this publish, I'm scared. That Geo blaster.. Krayt enhanced.. smacking me aroundwith over 500 max damage. Ouch. I can't always afford to heal myself either. Only if I'm buffed well. Or if you get mind wounds, you're out of the game for a while unless you can heal yourself with /meditate. Instead of trying to get us nerfed, the nerf herders should be trying to get their profession working completely.
Why not work on dual wield for Pistoleers? I know Carbineers are getting some love this next Publish, but I'm sure they could also use a tiny decrease in HAM costs. Every profession needs some love. Nerfing the ones that work correctly are only going to make this game less fun.
Just my 2 creds..

BH's are better with a pistol? I don't know what's wrong with the pistoleers on your server, but on gorath a master pistoleer will destroy an expert BH.. just FYI..
The only good thing out of the DF tree is last ditch
It should be more balanced.. pistoleers,carbineers, riflemean should deal the same DPS.. pistoleers with lower dmg @ a faster speed.. riflemen with more dmg @ a lower speed.. etc
Commandos suck too, the only ones worth fighting are the ones wearing armor, haha.
Carbineers deserve to get fixed, I had to master it, it was terrible.
Anything else?

Can you give one good reason for this other than you say so? Is it so unfathonable to have classes that do different DPS but have other differences to ballance them. Ballance can in fact exist without everything being the same. Why can't rifleman do more damage but have crappy defenses both ranged melee and def vs. status change, pistols do less damage but have defenses out the wazoo and are not only hard to hit but are next to impossible to land status changes on, carbineers do moderate damage, have moderate defenses, but have a lot of status change attacks. So what we have is rifleman beats pistoleer, pistoleer beats carbineer, and carbineer beats rifleman.
Oh wait, you don't want to be beaten by anybody, you want your class to be the best, so that won't work will it.
What you suggest will make everybody pistoleers since its often more important to get that next shot off sooner than it is to hit harder. Also in order to give us the same DPS you would have to give us the same defenses, otherwise as it stands rifleman are at a serious disadvantage here since block may or may not work, we have decent ranged and melee defenses, but our status defenses suck to high heaven. So again, everybody goes to pistoleer since we do the same damage, but they have better defenses.
I don't want to be a pistoleer. I don't want to play a game where everybody is a pistoleer.
I'm staying as a Rifleman. It's what I signed up for, it's what I like doing. Not to mention I'm gonna enjoy being the only guy in Coronet with a Rifle again.
Oh and the big nerf is scheduled for Pub 8.
Been rifle since the beginning (though the dlt20a only era like many others here).. i wont change.. no matter what the devs do.. might rethink what the best secondary class will be to compliment rifle however 
The devs will have to pry my T21 out of my cold dead hands....
