---some quote from some guys saying damage mitigation would be pulled out---

TH:

My bad. The HAM was pulled, not mitigation. I apologize.

Sorry about that. But remember, this is all going to level out with the upcoming combat changes..."

So, let's start by making the Laser Rifle worthless against Ranged professions. Then in the next months we might balance things. I'm not happy.

I hate to be a pessimist but this still really scares me. I know it will be a boost to the novice and levelers but what will we lose? How will we be balanced? I'll say it one more time, I don't think they are telling us everything. I smell a nerf. A big wet smelly one.

So great.. instead of a boost we now get nerfed...

Yep I think we are going to be getting a nerf also. With TKA now being the flavor of the month, commandos and bh's getting a melee one. When they attack us they are going to do little damage to next to none if we kite them. I try and not let them get close, still die alot I suxxor

That and I am seeing alot more rifleman on my server, which is not a good sign.

Which is why Klawlegna said there is no more 2.5x in the TC. This is a result of no more 2.5k melee.

Exactly with the Melee hurt gone we will be good from any range at master. That was a balance for us, hardhitters at range but deadly vulnerable at short range. Now I think everyone will cry for a nerf against us whether it be the AP thing or the 3 sec cap or the conceal shot dissapearing. These are the good times for us rifleman, enjoy it while it last.

And hope that I am wrong.

I'm still waiting on my range argument and the 3 cap rumor. They should respond soon.
