Thread: Rifleman = Gimped
Remember that this isent only a pvp deal, and calling the rifleman a "Support" character just dosent work as most people are dealing either health or action bar damage in a group, meanwhile the 1 or 2 riflemen in the group can **try** to do mind damage, but since Headshot 3 takes SO much mind pool, and no one in the group can heal the mind pool, its a battle we cannot fight.
Were stuck to using some of the other specials and overcharge shot just to near to equal damage to everyone else. And, i've I stated before, because of this i can listen of hte crys of excitiment in my guilds teamspeak channel as everyone is getting 2000+ exp from a monster meanwhileI dont say a thing because, wow, imagine that,I justs got 830.
The fact that it may be "Support" in pvp is a dead stick. Spice or no spice, medic or no medic, pvp battles will NOT last any longer then 15 seconds, period.
Someone said bounty hunters should be doing more damage as it takes more skills for them to reach it.
Ok justify the fact that a master rifleman will still get owned by a bounty hunter with only 1 skill of pistol.
Not only that, rifleman CANT hybrid to other classes, because there is NONE. All people who want to use the rifle are stuck with either marksman tree, or the rifleman tree. That dosent leave us with anywherenear the bonuses other classes are getting from hybrid'ing. (Not to mention skills
Now the T21 not doing what it should....thats just wrong, that should have been fixed well before release.
Now unless the rifle also pierces threw effectivness, i dont see much changing on the issue here.
This is intended for 1 reason only, a few ( or heck alot for that reason ) computers are set so low that spawns dont appear untill around 70m. In PVP if you had a +10m sight advantage and can hit for 2k damage in an area, that would not be too fair.
My fix? Fix concealshot. Hidden from sight and radar untill 1st shot (hit or miss).
Anyone who says Rifles suck, or are gimped, or are an underpowered class, needs to spend less time whining, and more time leveling up. I hunt with a Pistoleer, anda Carbineer, and you know who comes home with the most XP, 99% of the time... Let's try not to be like every other class who bitches constantly, "My class is so weak." Level up rifle is really, really good...trust me.
Rifle is good, we have issues, but who doesn't? This whole game has issues....
