Kel-jun uses Advanced Strafe on you for 8000 points of damage, but you block it.
You have been incapacitated.
THATS how it should look.

im really not trying to flame you guys just pointing out some facts about the situation with getting all emotional over it. CH is waaaay better and much more interesting to play now post "nerf" than it was when all it took was 3200 a graul mauler and the command attack and followme trained.

Fact: The original poster, rightly or wrongly, is "warning" the rifle community about the ramifications of SOE "balancing" basedupon his ownobservation ofprevious "balances" he experiencedin the CH profession. That's pretty much it.
All the material about how to utilize pets, BE pet problems, accusations of "trolling", "crying" and "whining", the infamous dabbler 3/2/0/0 Graul Maulerproblem and the lack of his doing "proper" board research -- as defined by you -- are all your additions.Your points areinteresting; I agree with some, and disagree with others. My point was -- and continues to be -- that through your additionalcontributions you have both insulted the original poster and placed him on the defensive by tacitly characterizing him as the antithesis to all the elements of your diatribe on thecare and feedingof the CH profession.
I sense...... a disterbance in the boards
A presence I have not felt since.........
Could it be maturaity???!?!??!?!?!?!?
Thanks What-not

i dare you to name ONE Thing that changed with CH that was for the worse. i dont think you or the original poster can.
In defence of Barb, she always adds good insight and is a pillar member of the rifleperson boards. She has always been helpful to newer riflepersons and is a cool calm head.
-My CH views are that currently it is ineffective in PVP. Maybe thecreature special commands are borked, maybe they overnerfed the profession, or maybe people are not using the profession to it's full skill-I don't know.
-About the "Balance". How can they balance combat in Publish 8 when they just fixed carbines? When publish 7 goes through people are going to realize what AOE dizzy and a AOE Posture Change down can do. I think Sony should first fix all the professions' specials before they balance regaurding PVP. I don't know, I could be wrong. Maybe Publish 8 will happen the combat system will be near perfect and you will see me post crap like"I was wrong, I love you Devs" & Maybe I'm right and I will be posting crap like "The whole reason I'm sticking around is to watch you fail dev's". Either way I'll be happy 1'st senerio I love Star Wars, 2'nd senerio I have some sadistic tendancies.

in reference your last post.
he came in here making wild claims without any substantiation, called me a troll etc. shall i just sit back and take it in efforts of "playing nice"??
i am not the one that brought CH issues into the rifle forums... i have merely used the balance and nerfs that CH has gone through and illustrated the general mentality of those that CONSTANTLY claim CH is broken have shown to be the root of their complaints. my bet is that he hasnt played the game long enough to even remember these issues. regardless do not for a second think that i am for nerfing CH into uselessness. however if something in CH or RIFLE is out of wack such as rifle defenses not working properly i will be amongst that those that want it fixed.
i am sorry but i just do not think that ANY profession having a uber facet to it is in anyway good for the game. all the changes in CH removed such things. i dare you to name ONE Thing that changed with CH that was for the worse. i dont think you or the original poster can.
my position in regards to CH and rifle is to maintain both professions at a level of power that makes sense in game overall when compaired to the other skills, the average player, and the monsters that we hunt, i seldom if ever comment on PVP except in cases where a "balance/nerf" in PVP affects PVE in a negative fashion. i want both professions to be challenging and involving for as many of us as possible. for the original poster or anyone else to make ridiculous claims that CH is useless and worthless or has been nerfed to such status is patently false, inflamatory, borderline on trollish, and does neither the rifle or CH professions any good to draw those comparisons.
New to the rifleman forum and was reading Barb-wire's post. srtange she has been trolling the CH forum lately too say ing we weren't nerfed along with Denzib (warning if you see this troll too)
what we were told about the super Nerf to CH is it was the first profession "balanced" as part of the combat revamping and that all other combat professions would soon be "balanced".
All I can say is if they truly "balance" the other combat professions as well as CH, be prepared for you mission times to double/triple and your PvP to go on forever till someone actually dies.
I would strongly encourage everyone who has a love of this profession to follow your corespondents advice and post here

if you have a chance to save this profession do it.
Personally As a new rifleman (4/2/0/3)I am greatly enjoying the benefits of it, and greatly looking forward to that new rifle.
