WOOT man i hope this true then.....
But seriously this change to mind healing isn't going to destroy riflemen or swordsman, mind healing has actually been in the game for awhile, Muon gold has always been able to be used as an emergency mind stim, CM's have been able to heal mind damage for awhile now and don't forget the new blue milk which also heals mind.Not to mention with the new foods a person can get their mind stat and sub stats so high that the regen rate is amazing.

Mind is no longer EVERYONES weakness, it will in publish 8 become as every other pool
Im too pissed to post the link its in the dev tracker. Maybe you all knew. I sure didnt.
What this means is combat will last forever, AND THOSE THAT WIN WILL BE THOSE WITH THE MOST SPECIAL ATTACKS AND DEFENSES. Kiss Rifleman goodbye, with the worst assortment of special defenses and state change effects around.

By stims? Combat medics have been able to do it for a while now

It will no longer be a 'special damage type' im sure they will make stims. The combat medic thing is quite ridiculous, combat medics dont have time to use that, and do you pvp with a combat medic? I dont, lol I pvp with a few of my friends, none are CM..

This isn't such a big deal, and probably is good for overall game balance - maybe it'll help to deflect nerf calls a little.HAMcost revamp and weapon revampsoundsa little more scarry if you ask me. Guess we'll see what happens.

Lol it is a big deal, Rifleman have HORRIBLE state change defenses, and HORRIBLE state change attacks, BECAUSE they can strike mind. Carbineer have HORRI"BLE state change defenses BECAUSE they can put you on your ass, while dizzy, as well your 6 other friends, and a whole host of other things. Pistoleers have HIGH state defenses, because much of their skills are pve focused, representing them as a true synthesis of a melee and ranged profession. With Mind stricken, the rifleman become the weakest and most pathetic of the bunch.

Hmmm as a former master pistoleer I can assure you that rifleman by itself is far superior to pistoleer by itself

I can still thump people on the noggin for 400-600 damage once a second, 300-400 thru most armor... not too worried (3 sec cap, now THAT worries me)

You are a nut. Worst assorment of special defense and state changes, helllllllllo the commandos have none with freaking greandes and rocket laucnhers. At least you have one, it may not work much but its better than the big fat goose egg. You also have the highest ranged defense in game and the 4th highest melee for some odd freaking reason. You also have more state defense than a commando who has to take unarmed 1-4. So please dont whine because SOEis finally correcting a mistake of balance in the HAM. Did ya ever wonder why rifleman and CMs were so good? Cause no can heal the mind damage, not to mention buffs are so hard to get at 8 mins a piece. Stop whining its unbecoming. Rifleman are not the end all, nor are they suppose to be. This is a change toward sp balance. Remember sp, in your equation for how good your suppose to be in pvp, or you are going to be upset by all future changes.

because pistoleer has many broken/useless specials and lacks armor piercing. Rifle is one of the few classes that isn't broken, and the other classes should be FIXED instead of lowering rifleman to their level.

Please don't misunderstand me... I was simply replying to the original poster's claim that rifleman will be the worst class. I heartily agree that the other professions need to be fixed rather then breaking the working ones.
