The Devs stated earlier that DB's would only beapplied from melee range. But Snipershot still says DB from ranged. So which is correct ?
Thanks

wasent that changed to..
"This ranged attack takes a long time to setup, but delivers a significant amount of damage from Long ranges"

Why would we not have a ranged deathblow? Makes sense to me that we would have it. Thats the whole point of a "sniper" isn't it?

QFE!
Not being able to DB from far away now means we have to triple-incap from far away instead? Dont like that idea...

There will be the deathblow up close. We just have to stand and walk in to do the deathblow.
Dont know if I like that or not...but that is the solution to the triple incaps.

But as rifleman I dont want to walk into a group of enemies to DB one I just incapped, losing the range protecting me from melee attacks (or clearing my /cover state, which sounds like it is really great).

It doesn't make sense to me that any ranged combat profession must close to melee range to perform their death-blow.

Good, so it's not just me that thinks we're being forced into melee combat with less than melee protections. And Thinks this is a "Stupid" change.
But that said, I will gladly 3 incap kill them if thats the price of the new "Invisibility" cover.

/agree
Removal of ranged deathblow from riflemen has been brought up. If it's notaddressed before prod release,triple-incapping will become the most common method for riflemen todb. It may be one of those fixes that only gets made after a large outcry from the folks getting triple incapped.

i too being a LONG time rifleman am very concerned about this. Melee will destroy us if we get close.
triple incap also = gear decay in pvp.
unless they fixed that ?

Still that way, that is why I dont want to be forced to triple-incap somebody. I consider it a way of griefing.
