Rifleman Archive

Last week I decided to drop master pistoleer after reading about the lack of love from the devs in publish 7 and decided to go for rifleman. So I start to get xp and got rifles 1 2 and 3 but then started to read more about the publish and how it will affect rifleman.

I'm upto the point whereI will have to start to actually drop pistoleer as I don't have enough points left (master doctor too) so my question is.. How much will publish 7 hurt rifleman and should I stick with pistoleer? I don't want to drop my hard earned pistoleer points then find out rifleman is not much better after the nerf.... I mean re-balancing.
