Thread: Rifleman is damn good.
Shhhh , you're gonna get us nerfed!
But hey.. a Pistoleer with a player crafted Geonosian Sonic Blaster could have done that too...

I don't know, my 30% stun resistant tantel helmet seemed to do nothing to the rifleman who killed me in five seconds today.
This thread PROVES that you guys know how powerful you are and yet you sit here and continue to own everyone else in the game. Have you no morals?
What? They nerfed defense stacking? Are you sure? Because my 110 pistol accuracy against 125 ranged defense only results in me hitting THIN AIR. It's really disheartening to every other combat profession in the game (except for combat medics of course), when a rifleman with a muon and no armor can kill a fully buffed, fully armored person in a matter of seconds.
The most common defense of rifleman is to say that it's one of the only working professions, and instead of nerfing it, the devs should just balance every other profession around it. Of course, the only viable solution to balance everyone around rifleman is to enable all other professions to grow 200 meters in height and stomp their opponent while shooting deathrays from their eyes. Then it might be possible to stand a chance against riflemen. But in PvP's current state, there's no point in even trying unless you're a rifleman as well, in which case it's whoever can attack the fastest. With no speed cap, that might make things harder in a rifleman vs. rifleman fight though, so make sure you guys have the fastest jawa ion rifles you can find!

funny thing is.....ive talked to the rifleman correspondant many times ingame. even he says that atm riflemanhave an edge dueto the nerfs the other profs have beenhit with.(imho i feel thats the same as overpowered...but if i tell him that hell beat me)

I think the game has many problems and most of the Correspondents feel the new balances will solve everyone's issues. One person can say... this or that profession is more balanced... while another can say this or that profession is gimped. The problem is the professions don't balance out in the systems current state. Most have suffered nerfs, Rifleman has never changed and to sum seems to bean oasis of uberness. Instead of nerfing more and more professions I think the development team has choosen to simply balance them all in one stroke... including counter parts like HAM and weapons....to make for better game play.
So to answer your question, no.... I don't think Rifleman is overpowered.... I think the nerf bat has hit to many profession making it one of the last standing pure classes that has not felt the development nerf. Once equal amoungst it's other professions it's a symbol of the old system.
Further more.. The Rifleman community and myself have stated what we would like to see the "Future" of the profession in our In Concept thread. According to the Development teamthese threads will be the focal point of the new balances. The future of all professions is unknown.

Im a master sharphooter/rifleman - whatever ya wanna call it and i LOVE IT!!!
The speed is unreal - ok my rifle speed is crap 6.2.
But im a master and i have a +12 rifle speed in my boots, and a 32% speed increase on a powerup works wonders!!!
But just the same, i sneaked/ snuk/ sneakt???? (side note anyone know the past tense for sneak?) up on a Player and bam headshot spam. Dam git turned around and whooped my ass.
Had a damn Krayt Enhanced SG82 Rifle.
Ok so hes a rifleman but the main thing is the weapon not the profession. I was a master - he had rifle abilities 2 and sniping 3.
Go figure
