You mean the thing that makes my strafeshot 2's occur every 2.4 seconds? Idon't exactly knowwhen it'll happen but most likely the next time I shoot my gun.

You only strafe2 every 2.4 seconds? That's 1.4 seconds your wasting every shot.

Shot speed = weapon speed [* special delay] * (1 - (personal speed modifier * .01))
T21 at 7 second delay.
Personal Speed modifier at Master Rifle: 90
Strafeshot2 (our best damage multiplier): Speed modifier 3.5
Shot Speed = 7 * 3.5 * (1 - (90 * .01)) = 7 * 3.5 * .10 = 2.45 seconds per shot (nearly 2.5 x the speed cap)
Well actually I do fire faster then 2.4 right now since I still have master marksman but I'm going to have to drop it soon in order to get more politiking skills
Oh well I can always remaster that after I grab the master badge. It's not like half of those skills are useful, hell I'm justplanning to keep a couple tiers for the titles
Or I could drop slicing...but I have always wanted to be a slicer from reading the EU and we'll probably get a better role in the SE.

I'm Master rifleman and Master marksman for a total of a 95 speed mod. So if I have at least 5 extra points (from SEAs) I will hit the speed cap? I will use Strafeshot2 and a 7 spd rifle like you did, but with 5 extra speed points.
7 * 3.5 * (1 - [100 * .01]) = 7 * 3.5 * 0 = 0 seconds per shot, but then the speed cap would make me shoot at 1 sec per shot, is this true?

yes but all you need is 97 to hit cap all the time

I prefer my 101 =)
Prefer it all you want... but there is absolutely NO difference between +100 and +101. Once you hit +100 you cannot improve any further. I'm content with my +99. At +99 as long as the rifle doesn't exceed 25.0 speed, I can shoot at 1.0 seconds with Adv. Strafe. ![]()

Just as soon as Eye Shot is moved to Master BH and Meditate is removed from TKMs. Its just people complaining because of Rifleman's FotM status, its much more likly something will happen to the Jawa rifle.

no, i've never played Planet Side. was just curious though, because i was a master rifleman, then i started seeing everyone and their dog going rifle, and knew a nerf would be coming. then heardthat a 3 second hard speed cap was going to be implemented. months later(now), i've yet to hear anymore about it, and would like to go back if it's not going to happen. basically, i'm just sick of these new kids on the block(ha) taking my dragons
