Hi Riflemen, This is in response to the post of socialconformer from a commando:
...snip blah, blah, blah...
A rifleman can master doctor or CH, as example......Hell, a rifleman can master commando.....lol.......(without exploration though)
In PVP, a master rifleman/master CH will own a commando (stick pets on us, we have no warning shot with a Flamer, they shield you while you take our mind out)
A master rifleman/master doctor will own a master commando, providing the commando has no doctor buffs (the rifleman will surely have them, because they do it to themselves.)
Master rifleman/big dabbling in Combat medic will be a very worthy opponent.
My advice to riflemen is this, I was one of yours for the first 3 months of launch, and a big problem rifleman have is they want to be equals to BH and commando by just being riflemen. Then they want to be able to acquire any other profession in the game they wish.
You guys are broken, sadly, and they should have never nerfed the T21 (one of the reasons I quit rifleman), but you shouldn't be able to compete with 150 skill points left in the bank against someone who has only 60.
When you are master rifleman, and bring your final 250 points templat, with your big doc buffs or your 2 grauls maulers against my 250 point commando template with a bit of medic and exploration 3......you'll own me as often as I own you.
That, in my opinion is balance....
That is just my opinion though......
Pet, doc bufs, et. al. would work for any prof except you can't heal mind, and the pets don't target that SO we are back to the original problem here. I find it interesting that you left after they messed with our "uber" for the prof that became "uber". You can accent all the other classes with each other except Rifleman.
Therefore, returning the T21 to "uber" again IS balance. I don't have Graulers and never will. I have to have a sword by my side because I can't keep the mob offa me no matter what I do (Warningshot? PULEEEZE, that always misses. Suppress, same thing. Dizzy? nope, misses too. Never succeded pulling off AoEs, NEVER)
Give our accuracy back
Take the foam-rubber off the T21
fix the bugs
stop the nerfs
You masters can fight against the 3-second bit, I can't get close to that yet...
You what to know why thereisseathing hatered over this? T21 was for a fleating moment the weapon that saved us, butis barely more usable then the Laser/E11 now... and then they finally fixed Commando weapons AND LEFT THEM AT THE DAMAGE THEY SHOULD BE. This ONE simple thing, they unnerf then re-nerf Rilfeman yet unerf Commando and say all is good? Sorry, all is most certainly NOT good.
I took Master Ranger out of an RP choice. I have 110 points left to figure out a good combat class. I would have liked that Ranger/Rifleman was a perfect hunter class. It could be, it is so very close but not yet there. Therefore, I dabble in others, have to keep that **edit** sword to live (eating up 29 precious SP atm). Otherwise things that con blue to me are instant death. Tell me, does a Commando have to worry about things that con blue? Or are you simple going FLAME ON and dropping half the wildlife on Endor, zipping through the exp? White cons I HAVE to finish with the sword.Yellow make me walk the other way. Red makes me run. I can't heal my pet (can't juggle all those AND have medic) so I have to be careful with it too.
I already know what you are going to say, and no, I will NOT drop ranger. If you say get pistol I think I have made my point (and I did have it at one time... I have thought about it but I want to fight for making Rifleman viable for me somehow... silly me).
Good post, Fred.
Do you guys think I went a bit overboard on my last post? Sometimes I get a bit fired up and emotional, and it drains me and I have no more will to argue.
Thanks guys for responding. If you don't make the points, I will trylater after my brain rests.

Disagree with original posting
Master Rifleman SHOULD NOT be as powerful as master commando. Pistoleer, carbineer, rifleman should be on one level, as we are a combat classes. But Bounty Hunters and Commandos should ALWAYS be more more powerful. They are frced to sink more points into combat skills than any of us rifle/pistol/carbine folks. I can become a master doc and a master rifleman. You master Commando, and well, you can dabble in some non-combat if you want, you wont get far.
Have you read any of the replies?
