Rifleman Archive

Currently there is no skill what so ever in pvp all that matters is your prof/armor/food/weapon and thats about it.So if a master rifleman fought a master carbineer and they both had uber armor/weapons/food the rifleman would win hands down.Even if they tried to balance the prof they cant its impossible there is ALWAYS going to be a prof that is more powerful you just cant make proffesions even without human aiming.

Well,I have to admit I thought the same thing for a while and still kind of do. But I noticed there is some skill in PvP. The other day I was on my MWS who just picked up novice marksman and had pistols 1 for bunny defense at my harvestorswhen my freind who has some pistoleer and smuggler skills decided to duel me to make for my other character constantly pounding the crap out of him. He has a better pistol and better skills but almost no PvP experience and I managed to beat him. However, if it was someone who has some PvP skill then my pistols 1 from marksman would have gotten me laid out with a quickness.

True profession balance in an MMO is a myth.

Eh be careful what you wish for. Every time the game gets just right they nerf it. Pretty soon they'll nerf Rifleman and Combat Medic to some uber low level where the pistol outmatches us.

"Balance" is not based onequality but on their value.

Rifleman, Carbineer, and Pistoleers DPS should not be balanced, what should be balanced is each professions overall value. Rifleman should do something worthwhile really well that carbineers and pistoleers can't do., Carbineers should do something worthwhile really well that pistoleers and riflemen can't do, and Psitoleers should be able to do something of value really well that carbineers and riflemen can't do.

That is true balance every profession doing something diffrent that is worthwhile when it comes to game play. This is a hard goal to achieve since they have 34 professions to work with, every profession has to do something unique that is valued.

I doubt the Combat Balance will achive this since a goal like this would take alot of effort.
