Whats funny is the carbineers. They have posts on why they are not going to be the next FOTM. I used to have sympathy for them, but have noticed a good number of them have joined the pistoleers in asking for a speed nerf.


If you call for the nerf may FOTM status be brought upon your profession!(My curse)

and i admit i called on nerfs galore on the BHs. They never ended up getting nerfed, they were just overshadowed by better classes. Now us riflemen are really going to get the nerf... right when I get master, after i have been grinding since game release dealing with all the disadvantages riflemen had as a gimp class before their improvements.

I'll see you there then. I've made up my mind. Squad Leader (yep first holocron suggested it I needed some kinda direction- although if it had said anything entertainer I would have bitten my own head off and fed it to my gurreck) and Rifleman (made it almost to marksman 4 before giving it up- helped a lot while mastering swordsman- mind damage is a wonderful thing).


And yes, I remember when Tusken Rifle was the baddest rifle in all the land. I hear you folks have these new-fangled thangs now. I'll just have to see.


Seriously, I was looking forward to getting back into the marksman tree- never mastered a profession in it. Rifle was just so much fun before it's time to go home.


Which follows my pattern of mastering a profession just in time to greet the nerf fairies coming in.


Sigh.

Even assuming you get max efficiency from apprentice pistoleer onward, earning (a generously-estimated)200,000 XP per hour on quenkers would still mean over 25 hours of pure, robot-like, no-waiting aroundgrinding. Odds are, it'll take even longer. 2 days? pssssshhhh


Riflemen, pistoleers, and carbineers should be even in power. It's simply not the case at the moment. IMHO they should pump up pistols and carbines, but they'll probably weaken you people. Enjoy your power while it lasts







Actually, im getting about 250k an hour doing savage quenkers as a rifleman and considering i could kill them faster as a pistoleer with last ditch and a krayted prenerf fwg5, i would think it could be even higher for a pistoleer.


2 days is totally possible (although it took me about 3). especially if you a) have some combat xp saved up, or b) have pistol xp saved up from BH or smuggler . both of which i had.


Also, he never said he WASNT a hardcore gamer who put in alot of hours to do it in 2 days. He would obviously have to be, just like 99% of the other FS people.
