and i can deplete my ham bar to 0 in under 10 seconds thus making myself a huge target for others and unable to do any more significant damage. Where is this huge advantage we are supposed to have at master?

Yes, we are the masters of self incap. Er, right after a TKA with a vibro, that is.

hahahah...soooo true...many are times when i wasn't paying attention and shooting specials and one mob shot eventually hits me....almost full health and action....but incap city...

The special abilities are a bunch of little things that all can make a big difference, you justneed to relearn rifleman a bit at master.

You have a 90% speed reduction, so yes you can incap yourself in 10 seconds. The best use of your speed is autofire, a master with a high damage laser rifle or T21 has much better autofire DPS than just about any other class.

Next you have Strafe 2, a high damage area effect attack. Can be fired every second, and if you use a lower ham rifle for this you will do good enoughdamage for reasonable mind.

Next you have Accuracy bonuses, and +10 while running. Use this to run and gun like a carbineer, you will miss somtimesbut even in just PVE it is better to be moving quick and taking advantage of your range instead of getting rushed by mobs.

All in all these make master rifleman pretty effective at killing things at range.

Umm. Not as a master rifleman.

Not every second with a T21, I'm master rifleman (yay finally!) and I'm shooting strafe 2 at 3 second delay with my 8,1 sec T21, and of course I'm running out of mind in a matter of a few seconds O o

Master rifleman alone is +90 speed, which means you need 10s or less adjusted delay. IIRC strafe2 is 2.5x multiplier, so if you want 1s SS2s at master rifleman, you need a 4s gun. Master marksman/rifle can do so with a 8s gun, which is pretty much any decently crafted gun.

lol, is there anything confirmed that is going to reduce ham cost for rifleman in the next patch?
