Thread: simple fix for weakness vs state attacks and speed cap

no speed cap while laying prone or kneeling--from a "realisitic" point of view there is no reason to think a guy running around with a pistol should shoot faster than a stationary rifleman.


no knockdown on prone rifleman--I actually ran into PvP once thinking this would save me--hah, i though, this fool cant KD me when im ALREADY laying down. neeless to say, i was disappointed to see the attack actually bring me to my feet, so that it could then lay me out. dumb.


and by being prone/stationary, the rifleman is forced into a disadvantage of limited mobility to "pay" for his extra defense, and no one has to be nerfed.



Finally- a bit off topic...you should be able to add base HAM by giving up skill pts.

Yes rifleman are vulnerable to all state attacks.

but .. I have never seen any rifleman kneel or prone in pvp. If I die I usually die from KD or dizzy and under current game rules WE HAVE TO BE MOBILE (burstrun comes handy).

If you want protection against theses, change profession /sigh


And don't go prone in pvp, that's the dumbest thing

i've been kneeling and/or going prone in pvp more and more lately. i have to be careful and make sure i'm not the primary focus of a melee players attention - but on tempest, there isa large group of 250 skillpoint pvp'ers with the 'uber defenses' (pistoleer/fencers, rifleman/tkm, etc) and the easiest way to hit'em is to bleed and kneel/go prone if you can (or switch to melee and do my fencing thing) -


the accuracy bonuses to kneeling and especially prone really help when trying to hit a guy with 210 dodge or +180 ranged defense


but then again... so does intimidate, blind, and dizzy -

also easier to justify using /aim if you're already kneeling or prone.


i use those stances more often (albeit no where near frequently) in pvp now, too.. but i've hotkey'd /stand in case i get rushed (also helps for getting up from KD)

That should be part of the combat system revamp we are waiting for.


So no, it's not stupid to think we should be able to get /prone or under /takecover in PvP and stand a chance. Of course as of right now this only means death. :/


And yes getting a lower speed cap (still one shot per second max) while in this posture would be nice.


Last, I also do think it's silly to get KD while in this state too.
