why do all u rifleman say pistoleers are so much better than your profession? Now im not saying that in a smart way. Im just wondering because the laser rifle i have hits for alot of damage and max damage on it is about 300 and a rate of 5.6 or something. I just want to know how pistoleers own u guys with your top weapons when pistols top damage i see are for like 120 or whatever. I know they can fire at a faster rate. But the rifle i have seems so muc hbetter than a top pistol.

Actually a basic pistolis like 60-150 delay 2 while a basic laser rifle is like 15-300 delay 7, so pistols dish out way more DPS than rifles are, thats a FACT, thats MATHS.
BUTpistols are more-to-equally accurate at ANY range than rifles.
I'm not saying riflemens suck, our problems are nothing compared to the troubles de commando/DE/-insert broken class here- get, but I thinkwe need some tweaking with the defenses modifiers (all classes does), accuracy and DPS, because the fact we hit mind dont excuse everything, 2h swords hit mind too, are they so gimped compared to other brawlers , and eyeshot ?

you obviously have not fought many pistoleers. With the damage decrease too it really sucks. The only way to insure that you hit them is to kneel or go prone in which case the pistoleer runs circles around you and slowly shoots you to death. I guess pistoleers are as bad as a pistoleer/BH combo who uses some dizzy move combine with the knockdown to completely destroy you.
