I'm a CH/Rifleman... now both my primary and backup professions are useless

-- A6

I feel your pain. I wanted to be a Commando, wasted a lot of time grinding the unarmed hoping it would be fixed. So I had Combat Xp burnin a hole in my pocket. I qualified for: Ranger,BH,Smuggler,CH,Pistoleer,Carbineer,Squad Leader, Rifleman,TKA. My dumba** chose Rifleman to be different, I like sniping and BH and the others seemed too cheap. I guess I have Master to look forward too but I feel so retarded grinding for some goal which will prob. be g*y too. Day after the patch: Can't use my Rancor(which is fine), my Probot got destroyed(which isn't cool), and the only spot I knew to hunt got "fixed" I guess and I couldn't stay alive long enough to kill anything. Why do I have to find the will to play this game, AND I keep doing it?

thanks guys for the support. Knew I wasn't alone in this.

It would be funny if it wasn't so true.

When I started out, I wanted to be a commando. So I VK'd my way up the Unarmed tree, struggled with rifle xp, etc. and found out to my surprise that I loved using the rifle. So much so it was painful to use the pistol or carbine to level through Master Mark.

So then came the first patch, which neatly killed my idea of continuing to advance unarmed to TK (I wanted to do it before heard of the absurdity of moving VKs to the TKA class) just so that I could counterbalance the close range melee problem.

Ok, I lived with that ill-thought decision by the Devs (and apparently the brawlers)

ThenI finally chose to start out as Rifleman because the Commando class was so bugged. And I crunched my way up to level 1 sniper and MS2. Then I got the T21 and started using it. What a joy. Ok, no real speed. So what? I had been struggling with that through Master Mark anyway. And I loved the strategic aspects to soloing (although I love the group assaults dearly -- particularly with the guild).

Then the patch came on the T21 to unnerf it. I DID NOT NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE. Maybe its because I was so busy going after Faction targets that still took a while to gun down. Who knows. I love the T21 because it was packing a whallop and took a long time to reload. Added that element of who is going to cap first.

Now the darn thing is nerfed worse and I keep asking myself where to go from here.

Bet you the farm that Commando will get nerfed right after it gets fixed too.

Argghh.
