I've seen a lot of people rant and complain abaut Rifleman being too uber. On the Rifleman threads there is talk about how the mind bleeds have been reduced to the point of uselessness and I myself was Rifleman 3344 but I wound up dropping it all because I got sick of seing others who had WAY less skills in other professions take out mobs and PvP much faster and more effeciently then me.
What has changed to make this way underpowered (IMO) profession the target of complaints and cries for the Nerf Bat?

The nerf cryers were cryin about how MASTER Rifleman is way too overpowered. While going up the tree, we aren't too good, but once we hit master it's a different story.

he's right, in the upcoming publish 8 and the combat revamp it is mentioned that the mind pool wouldn't be incappable. Novice Rifleman isn't good at all in pvp and you'll die 4 out of 5 times, when you hit master is when you become a pain to people.

The same people who cried out against the Master Rifeleman are probably the ones who spent their Skillpoints on 3 Novice Elite Professions to stack their Defense Modifiers and had one unlucky run-in with a Master Rifleman. "B#$&!*^T! How dare a Master Elite defeat a 4,0,4,0 TKA/ 0,0,4,0 Fencer/ 2,0,2,4 Rifleman!.
Either that or the TKM's with Novice Marksman.
I'll take a small nerf if they've capped the defense stacking.
Outside of the reduced bleeds, I haven't noticed any major differences at the moment, but I'll just have to keep playing and see.

I agree. haven't seen THAT much difference from a Master's pov. I thought i'd miss the bleeds quite a bit. I suppose if I weren't a Master I would. Once I hit it though it seemed largely irrelevant.
