probably not.

Not at current damage levels, not at current HAM costs.

Same as above. If all that is changed is the speed then I'll be getting pistoleer soon.

I might keep sniping 4 for the ranged DB, I love that skill.

Did you people not read teh entire post???? With the 3 second cap, you also get a large damage addition.. they are upping the damage on Pike and Rifle.. by a large amount. Devs stated a large amount.. wait til its done before you start crying, please..

Again please die if you have reading comprehension of a 3rd garder.

NOWHERE DOES IT STATE WE WILL HAVE OUR DAMAGE RAISED.

It says specifically, "MIGHT" after they look at the changes for "awhile".

I don't get 3 seconds per shot as it is. Except with my spraystick, but that's kind of an exception. This won't hurt me much, it will simply not help me.

no. I will change to pistoleer as well I guess. Even with raised damage ( again they will "take a look at after") we will keep the 2.5x melee penalty, and melee will be able to hit us even further out. Not to mention STILL warping mobs. That means we cant get off supression, warning, etc as fast. That means, we die. And I dont mean as individuals. I mean as a profession.

Problem #1 We dont hate you..

Bull**edit**.

Ya great. Pistols get faster, rifles get slower. This COULD be a good thing if and only if they actually increase the damage riflemen can do... by a lot.

I will stay a Riflemen is that 1 shot does 10,000 damage... otherwise we become the class that fires one shot then gets killed by our target.

DON'T wait until its done to voice your thoughts...that's the way i thought before the kd/pc nerf. i was thinking to myself 'they wouldn't really invalidate a third of my profession (carbineer), and make it mostly useless, would they? they've gotta be a LITTLE bit smarter than make the mob immune for 30 seconds, right?'

boy, was i wrong. i'm with you guys all the way on this one...the way i see it is that pistols get twice as fast, carbines will stay the same or get 50% slower, and riflemen are off the team. at least, the proposed changes are like that. please, rand, read the post again...i'm betting you only read it the first time. i was happy the first time i read it, too! then i read it again, and again, and then once more to be sure. its a lot less pretty now.

Did you read the post? IT DOES NOT SAY WE ARE GETTING OUR DAMAGE INCREASED... it says they are nerfing our speed to a horribly slow amount, making master rifleman completely and utterly useless and then they will investigate to see if and how much of a damage increase we need.. this is AFTER raising the DPS of pistoleers well beyond every class in the game, and placing ours well below every other class. The devs probably think they're helping us with all the whines from apprentice sharpshooters and novice sharpshooters you see on this board who wanted to be as powerful as masters despite the fact they only bought the game lasttuesday. Now they will be!

I'm gonna stick with the rifle, but as I mentioned I have turned to the Dark Side, Creature Handler will be the combat class and Rifleman will be the entertainer class(Etertainer cause everyone will laugh at me for being a Rifleman). I want to be an old relic so In a year Noob's will ask me "Rifleman? What the Hell is a Rifleman?"

Have the devs even played this game yet??? Im just asking because there is one rifle called a spray stick which is supposed to be as fast or sometimes even faster than a pistol. Are they saynig that they will limit its speed to 3.0 also because right now Im just at 2/0/0/1 and my spraystick shoots at about 2.0 unsliced and no powerup. That means that they make our fastest weapon as slow as the other rifles. Which totally defeats the purpose of even using a spraystick. It was made to be aweapon that does low to medium damage and have rapid fire similar to a pistol. But now its like having a can of raid you can only use every 3 seconds.
