How is Conceal shot in group hunting situation?
Few Peeps kite or tank, you get some range on enemy and friends, cover, and use conceal shot?

why can't SOE stick to their guns and reenforce class roles, i.e. tanks are meant to TAKE damage NOT deal damage.........nukers are meant to DEAL damage NOT take damage, etc. Because these idiot players can't grasp that idea they cry until we are looking at a possible "slow down" of some sort targeted at rifleman. This is completely unacceptable response to an illegitamate complaint!

Well how about tanks that are mad that we do more damage then they do? There is a current Jedi thread about a bunch of Jedi defenders (pure tank no offensive skill) being mad that a person with a rifle could solo Krayts faster then they could group kill them. The person was slowing the krayt and rooting thekrayt constantly when running in circles around it.
basic concept of what a nuker and tanks role is:
(Nukers > Tanks when damage being done to target is concerned)
(Tanks < Nukers when damage being taken from targetis concern)
A few other things to think of:
1) we are not the professions with the uber snares and roots
2) we don't have terrain negotiation
3) we bring 1 thing to this fight... ranged damagebut even pistols can dothat (with less sac cost and nearly the same damage)
