Thread: Flavor of the month has changed, i think...
The new flavor of the month is gona b carbineer, all the specials were fixed. Maybe i'm paranoid but i've noticed a lot more people holding carbines today than usual.
Kariote' - Eclipse
Master Rifleman - Teras Kasi Master
biwan: Colonel in the Rebel Alliance biwan:
*croses fingers* hope your right, as an old school master i about freekd when i saw more than 1 other person holding a T21... there were litteraly about 5 of us on the server at one point 
oh, by the way, i love you sig cincoalto 
keeps things in perspective
I tested out carbineer, but am going back to my beloved rifles... and my snipershot.
Rifleman/Combat Medic is my prediction on being the FOTM. Now, can someone get me back the 10 million credits I spent on carbineer skill tapes?
Hate to be a negative nelly but, As long as:
1-mind damage is hard to heal(ie can only be healed by CM's or food)
2-Armor protects against every Damage type at 85% effectiveness except for stun inwhich it has 40% effectiveness
3-Buffs make it so that if your not hitting high damage your weapon is worthless in PVP(thanks to the worthless 75% PVP reduction really)
We will remain FOTM.

Swordsman is very good for PvE but cannot do as much damage as Riflemen because of the lack of AP 3 weapons. That may change in the next publish. The Carbineer fixes kind of suck in my opinion. The dizzy effect of the full auto attacks last about 15 seconds if you are even able to stick them. The knockdowns are hard to stick and the damage output is horrible compared to Pistoleers and everyone else.
The fotm is the Combat Medic. Since many people have gone this route, they have taken up Rifleman as a second profession to make them uber l33t. Rifleman by itself, is not overpowered. Combined with area mind poisons, Rifleman is considered to be way overpowered due the association with Combat Medic. One of the most common (if not the most common) templates in PvP on my server is Combat Medic/Rifleman.
I can go toe-to-toe with TKA/Rifleman, possibly with Fencer/Rifleman, for sure against Rifleman/Swordsman or Rifleman Pikeman, but I dont stand a chance against Combat Medic/Rifleman or even Combat Medic/Doctors with no combat skills.
well wouldnt that mean that combat medic is overpowered not rifles???
