Thread: Holo, Vass, Q, Someone... How could you let us get stabbed in the back like this? PLEASE respond!
Sorry for the dramatic title, but I really hoped to get your attention to get a response.
As Holo stated, our T-21 (the only weap cert that Riflemen get) was nerfed because he was horrified that we could do 3000+ damage in PvP.
Yet, as of yesterday, you just upgraded the BH LLC to do an immense and insane amount of damage!

This shows a BH doing a 10,000+attack! And that's with a 729 max damage LLC too. I know someone on Bloodfin who just had his LLC sliced to over 900 max damage with means that his concentrated blast attack would top 12,000+ damage!
Keep in mind that this is combat spam, so the add in AR1 to get even more fun numbers (12,500+ & 15,000+ respectively).
This is insane! That is instant death to any target for a mere 160 HAM cost.
How could you do this to us after stating that 3,000+ was horrendous?
Now BH get the most uber pistol in the game that can do lots of mind damage in exchange for a low action cost and they also get a mega-super weapon that blows away any PC in 1 hit and just about any mob in 2-3 hits.
Another person I know bought a cheaper LLC and was pulling off 1,200+ regular shots at 4.4 speed! That kind of DPS is way faster than the T-21 that got you so upset.
This is, in no way, fair to any of us riflemen... we had 1 weapon and you nerfed it horribly.
Something should be done to make this up to us... a few ideas:
1. Un-nerf our T-21 and make it more powerful
2. Give us another weapon that high level riflemen can use that bridges this power gap
3. Bring the LLC in line with the rest of the world
Devs, please let us know what you were thinking behind this!
I really want to know what it is that made our 3,000+ dmg 9.9 speed, high non-healable mind drain weapon so horrible that is ok for a 10,000+ dmg 4.4 speed, high healable drain weapon ok.
Please, we have to know what you were thinking as our class continues to get pushed to the point of being useless.
