Thread: power of a rifleman
when is the last time you have seen a tka or a swordsman asking to be able to hit at 50 m because he cant beat a kite fighting style? NEVER... riflemen have the benifit they can hit at ANY range..

Boo Hoo all i hear is cry's ,nerf this nerf that,then lets go to the nextclass that "cry has the upper hand" *cough* and nerf them to ,jeese just shut up and play the game ,you pay to play ,not whine ,we do not own anything in this game,it can and has changed at moments notice.

You are snipers hence the take cover and conceal shot which u can solo elders, krayts, GDK, and what ever you have the time to do
you have the only ranged stun dmg with armor pierce, not even a geo stun pistol (near impossible to find schematic can compare to a Ion Rifle).
Ever try to take cover and conceal shot in PvP? Ever see anyone do that?
Geo stun pistols can compare to Ion Rifles, in fact they're pretty damn good. Most armor doesnt have stun resist anyway, so the AR piercing isn't even a factor then.
Go bother some other profession's board

If they are at 40 meters orthe players you refer toare defense stackers I'll agree with this statement. Otherwise how do you explain me dieing to melee professions practically everytime they get to 20 meters (excluding ones who didn't master brawler and I kited to death which is no different then what any other ranged prof would do) While true I do everything I can to prevent this...not too much room to employ range gaining tactics in Theed/any city be itNPC or otherwise. I just don't see why melee profs should expect to win in any fight that takes place outdoors. It's just common sense.
I wish the devs would look to them and make it more realistic even though it involves nerfing them to hell...this is a gunner's game not a brawler's. Making it somewhat fair for both just ruins the immersion and reality of the game. Lower their skill point req to even it out but I really don't see why someone with a big staff/a sword/fists of furyshould have any sort of chance while running at me from a distance. Look at the ending of the last samurai for a glimpse at what I mean. And for thelunge attack, welldo you know anyone that can jump 60 feet? I don't so it really makes no sense outside of balancing the game for melee'rs. Oh well, people want their gameplay so let everything work out to make people happy I suppose.
A TKM = Master of MELEE
A MRM = Master of RANGED.
See the difference??
You play the melee game, tkm will win almost EVERY time.
You play the ranged game, mrm will win almost EVERY time.
If I get into melee range in PvP, I know I'm a dead man. If I can keep a melee past 30m, I'm gonna win.
Make your opponent play YOUR game. You'll win.
