Rifleman Archive

Hi Guys,

I have just had a thought for a rebalance of Master Rifleman. First of all, I am not a Master yet, so all of you Masters that are totally closed minded can stop reading. Now all of you with an open mind might like this idea. Read this whole thing if you have stuck it out this far. I think that some of the higher items should be given to lower rifleman, not all but some to balance them with other prfessions. Here is what I would like to see added to Master. A reduction in mind cost useage for shots. Make it .75 or something to that effect of the HAM that other riflemen use when taking shots. Let the Master keep Strafe2 (I think that is that shot they get), some extra speed and some extra accuracy but give them this in addition. That way the title Master is still special, but this would allow the some of the accuracy and speed to be trickled down a little. I won't ramble on, but this is just a thought.

For all the Novices like myself. I have just recently reached 3,0,3,2 and am almost 3,0,3,3 after giving up Master Ranger title. It was not until I reached this level that I started to truly feel like the rifle was worth much. At this level there are still querks but it does get much better. I do feel that more needs to be given a little lower though.

I think pistol, carbine, creature handlerand commando should be knocked down a level for novices and boosted for masters much more in line with how Rifle is set up.

I agree with the 2nd poster.

I've said it before, but I think the basic setup for rifleman is the template they should use for the other combat professions. Our progression is laid out extremely well (though for some reason I can't help but thinking that just happened on accident =P )

I agree. I think master should be a BIG reward. when I mastered pistoleer I was thuroughly dissapointed by how little I improved, basicaly the speed bonus was just enough to make bodyshot3's DPS finally higher than bodyshot2's, I could spam stopping shot at 1 second, but so what? kind of a letdown. I got the dumbest shot, disarming2, which doesn't even work. the only thing you get really is a little speed, which is not even CLOSE to the speed difference of making master rifleman.

that sucked. I'm really looking forward to master rifleman, I think there should definately be a huge bonus to making master. rifleman is layed out in the right way. also nice because it keeps the popularity down a bit, as opposed to pistoleer, which is saturated because it's good early (but doesn't really get much better).
