I have the same fear.
Fear leads to hate, hate leads to suffering, suffering leads to the nerf-side.
Yes. However I do not have the power of the nerf. So I'm not to worried about going to the nerf-side. I'm more worried about being a nerfee.
I have been to the nerf side and back without even realizing it. Long long ago in a forum far far away(and now closed) I created a post comparing FWG%'s and post nerf T21's with out my knowledge I unleashed the power of the nerf side. Suddenly and uncontrollably thousands of pistolleers and smugglers were struck down by the powers I had unleashed. Unfortunately I had never intended to unleash these powers, instead I wished to realease the good power of "fixing", but things went horribly wrong. I have since put the nerf-side behind me, but in my wake those who I onced destroyed have been trying to summon the nerf-side against us. We must use the Fixing-side to combat these evil doers!!!!
All joking aside I seriously doubt i caused the nerf as the nerf went to TC less than 48 hours after my post. I have apologized to all the angry to pistolleers to calm them but to no avail..
IMO making the mind hit less decisive would be decreasing buffs and nerfing novice medic or stim b's hard. Medic in general needs a nerf ala CH, so people with just novice can not heall 500 dmg per shot.
Once you walk down the Nerf path forever will it haunt your Destiny, consume you it will

Macro,
I remember your posts about that. You didn't cause it. It was already in the works. As slow as the Devs make changes (aren't we 4 months behind on the combat rebalance already?) two days was to quick of a turn around.
Though you did get a lot of the blame.
I think alot is a understatement. I believe i had a 1 million bounty on my head though fortunately they never figured out which server i was on. Hehe I wrote up a long apology stating my original intentions and was flamed and called a nerf crier becuase i thought a 600 dmg un power'd up weapon was a little much shortly after the T21 nerf. Oh well it is all in the past, but some are still seem to be out for revenge as they flame me about that little episode everytime i argue against a riflemen nerf.
1 million bounty = create alt with the one-month freebie, use alt to kill main, collect bounty, /tip Main 1,000,000, delete alt
Yes Luke, you ARE my alt.

I just love how most of the answers TH gives are completely vague. Any questions related to combat professions always point to the rebalance, but he or they never give any info on it other than little snip its(ham change, mind not being special). IMO the devs dont even have a vision for rifleman currently, or at the most a bad view of what we are.
Another great example:
Can you fix or profession that has been broken since launch?
Wait for the combat rebalance.
How can you balance broken professions to working ones?
um...wait for the combat rebalance
That makes no sense and besides wasnt the balance supposed to happen months ago?
No....it was always our intention of putting it off this long.
Huh?
We had to make room for all the uber content that only working/uber professions can enjoy, and even then they must be grouped with 10+ of said uber professions.
Exactly my point we cant do any of that combat since our profession is broke
um...crap..........Your profession isn't broken
Yes it is
YOur profession is not broken(waves hand)
Are you trying the jedi mind trick??
(well you see where this is going)

The question becomes the, what kind of sniper? New thread and long disertation to follow later.
Out of curiousity did they ever give a reason for the bleed nerf??? and why CM's were not affected.
I mean hell a MS 2 bleeding for 100 is useless, but yet the DOT that everyone hates stayed the same and later got ubercomponents.
I dont mind CM poisons but if you are going to nerf most DOTs then why not nerf them all?
wow lame question Klaw.... Did that take all of 2 mins to think up. Way not to ask about speed cap, or specails that have been broken since beta
/award for lamest question to devs.

Oh please. He didn't 'think it up' as you say. It was a question from the 'Q&A with the Devs' thread that they never got around to. I for one am pleased with it (if not the answer) as are many others. If you want to recommend a question for our next week, please do. Keep in mind that we want to ask ones that won't be answered with "Wait for the CB"

Although Sunflower's totally wrong, he does bring up a point. How long ago was that Q&A list made? (Honestly, I can't remember: zombie mode) Perhaps we should make up a new list so the most important modern questions are asked.
my point is there were better question to have asked this one was completely lame. I am happy I'm not relient upon riflemen for fun anymore.
WHy dont all you new bandwagon riflemen look back in the forums here and see that our old correspondant had way better questions pendign to the devs then klaw presents.
Sad fact is these questions are all still unanswered where as klaw's amazing question of where do we fit int he revamp isn't one of um. Hell its not even a question of merrit when you consider the looming speed cap/broken shots.
W00t for all the bandwagon riflemen.
