I always wondered why so many people were posting about how professions like TKA and Rifleman are unabalanced. Instead of nerfing rifleman, why don't they just fix all the other profs?

Basically the little kids find it much easier to say OMG i got PWNED!!! Nerf them!


Then to propose constructive criticism.



HE ll a TKM smuggler was bitching about the mind pool because he was mind buffed to hell and back(buffs, food, and spice...I still kinda boubt it.), had 80% compositeand confronted 2 rifleman.WEll the fool starts to run at them and guess what the rifleman keep running away HSing him, and instead of breaking off the attack he continued to let them kite him. HE died before he hit 30 meters. BTW the rifleman were not using jawas.


HE then goes on a rant about how you shouldnot die from a mind incap or be able to heal mind......ROFL

From what i see rifleman is nothing compared to a Combat Medic these days, heck even a TKA is toast to a CM with the right stacklable disease/poison.

Rifle just needs tweeking so it fits the role of ranged sniper better. As it is Rifle accuracy is so high they can hit point blank as easy as pistols can. That and rifle specials fire too fast at master level and need to be adjusted slightly to even out the dps with other ranged weapon specials (dps should not be that different between weapons when spamming their best specials...dps can certainly vary with normal shots or mid level specials but not so drastically as it is now). Rifle simply needs to fit into the ranged master catagory, it is not defined enough as it is. There should be no arguement on whether or not pistol is better at short range but, currently, I would take a rifle over a pistol if mastered. I am the last to want too many nerfs (training it a second time now) but after using both carbine and pistol I have seen that there is a serious lack of weapon role definement at the moment.


As for combat medics...ya lame...pure lame. On our server there is a master doc/master combat medic with a few marksman pistol skills and he destroys anyone and everyone that he comes across (of course all he does 24/7 is camp starports or rebel mission terminals..he is as lame as his class). This is a guy with no defenses, no offensive weapon skills of note (his sad pistol skills wouldn't even hit me) but his poisions and disease kill multiple assailants. This and the fact that he can heal all his wounds (mind, action and health) in one or two heals and only suffer a few wounds. If you kill him and are not a TKA with level 4 med you are dead due to the disease and poison. There is no debate over this. CM is plain broken in pvp and needs a complete overhaul.

WHy in the hell are you wanting to balance a mostly working profession with broken ones? IF that happens then guess what when those broken professions get fixed they will need to be nerfed almost instantly.


Wait for everything to be fixed and then re-examine balance.

Awww, if only the devs and the whiners had this much sense.

But Goda's right, people would rather be posting nerf cries when they get owned rather than posting constructive material. We see a lot of nerf CM posts these days don't we?

It would be good to see broken professions fixed before anymore "balancing" is carried out.
