Personally I can take the Damage Reduction and defence reduction(but I will curse out every carbineer/Pistoleer on the boards when they do it)
The speed cap is the thing that gets me, we will be hosed by it. All PVP riflemen will Have to hunt NS Elders to get legendary T-21's to 1 hit kill people, if this happens. Believe me the LLC is not a good weapon to go into PVP with.

NDA. Correspondents can't say a thing unless the devs allow them to. Back when politician came out Plinka (then correspondent for politiking) told us about the 10 city cap. There was a bit of a misinformation thing going on and Plinka got reprimanded for giving out that vital tid bit of information (otherwise noone would have known and it wouldn't have been a land grab/smaller disapointment) even though she was supposedly allowed to do so thanks to a different dev. So if something like that can happen you have to realize why the blue boys are so tight lipped. They can'tpost anything without a supervisor finding out after all.
And honestly I feel we need to take this with a grain of salt. What changes are hitting all the other professions and everything else? I heard a rumor that we'll get a new 4th bar that is what specials draw from here on this forum. If that is introduced what does it mean for combat. They may change buffs and cap that, the def cap is coming so that will have a major effect. I mean a lot is changing so only getting 1 piece of the puzzle and scrutinizing it isn't the safest of things to do. I disagree with the 3 second cap personally but the other ones seem fine and acceptable. However if other things are altered to lesson the burden of the 3 second cap it may not be that terrible.
that about sums it up for that profession.

Please could you clarify all these rumours going around about the changes to rifleman in publish 7.
- 3 second speed cap for rifle. 1 second for pistols, 2 for carbines.
I've not seen this in the patch notes nor any official statement regarding it.
- Defense reduction. The numbers being tossed around were on par with TKA. 55 or so Ranged and 20 Melee. This I could deal with without much complaint.
125 cap i.e. counter,block,dodge, etc..

THats a 20% damage reduction for Strafe2, and 25% for the other shots. In addition to a 66% reduction in DPS on top of that with the 3 second cap.I knew they where gunna cap our speed and i could kinda handle that, but to lower our damage as well is taking the pee. So now other profs get to fire fast and do the same damage grrrrrrrrrrrrrreat :/pls confirm the rumours dude
OK for the last time there is NO, NONE, NADA, speed cap other than the 1 second that is already in existance. the ONLY thing getting capped is stat modifiers you acquire from dabbling.
there is no damage reduction.
go read the notes for publish 7 they are available and up the ONLY major changes are in regards to carbines.
stop listening to people who have friends who heard it from some kid who talked to a CSR.... geeeez

Hello Klawgena,
Etc? What etc? There is no "etc." in the publish 7 notes. The notes say, Dodge, Block, and Counterattack will be capped. Please clarify. Will melee and ranged defense be capped as well? I suspected as much until I read the notes and there was only mention of those three without etc. or ...

I've not see or heard anything regarding this but, I'm checking. Assume no for now unless I come back with some feedback. Honestly, it's hard to say what will happen with the combat balance but, you can't believe rumors. Ignore everything unless it's written by a red poster.
