Hey everyone! The unimaginable has happened...I decided to finally give rifelman a whirl, I've been working on it about a week or so, and it is really enjoyable. It's taught me a lot of not only the profession itself, but of the other professions out there.
I'll admit, I was a longtime Carbineer (9 month duration) so I always viewed Rifleman as way, well "insane." Then I actually started playing it, and realized Rifleman has its own weaknesses, and that other professions are still broken a year later.
Rifleman however is actual fun, and is working as designed. 
Kezia (XaverriJade) plays on my server and we've been friends a long time, she knows rifleman is kinda the last thing I'd ever try, but now that I have -- it's great! 
However the old-school Rifleman deserve major props! How you mastered it with a 2.5X Damage Modifier, bad weapons, broken specials is amazing. Kudos to all of you!
And in the off-chance a developer or Red Name reads this thread, I hope Rifleman stays as it is after revamp, we understand that pool-specific specials are being changed, but that's not the problem -- there are other ways to fix game mechanics without *nerfing* anything.
I hope to be around awhile everyone!

Don't forget MOB warping. The 2.5X melee penalty and MOB warping were the main menace. Especially with BAF types. The primarty targets 'friends' would pop up on 'ya from 120+m while you were prone resulting in a 5X damage. It wasn't uncommon to take a one hit incap from a Meatlump
Welcome to the fold. Hope you enjoy Rifleman. You're in good hands if Kez is helping you out.

Yeah, early game bugs were a disaster. Carbineer HAM, Rifleman HAM/Damage Mods...
Well wait...Carbineer and Rifleman still have the..."Can't fire specials when unbuffed problem.."
Rifleman is great so far! It doesn't feel like a grind to me for some reason, Kez is great -- but I've read a lot of great posts here, so thanks everyone!
