It sounds to me like you are judgine SWG as a PvP game. In that aspect most classes (sans Jedi) will fail everytime. This game is one of the worst PvP type games out there (most mmorgps are). Any time you give players powers/abilities that are intended to be used against tougher monsters...and then they start PvPing with those abilities of course everything is gonna be outta whack.
Also, sounds like you are NOt a human which is your fault at char creation. I was tempted to pick a different race but then I realised that this was SOE and in most mmorpgs humans start out weak but ALWAYS end up with the best stats for whatever they are gonna do in the end game.
Get your stats IDed for mind as much as possible. Then you are gonna have to do what we all do, either go Doctor for self buffs or stand in line in Coronet. Lets face it, that is what the game has turned into. You dont need buffs for PvE (unless you are going after the tough monsters on tough planets) but for PvP if you are not buffed you are cloned.
I wouldnt drop MR I wouls just take a break, maybe start a melle or crafter on another server. Maybe when JTL comes out there will be more exciting things to do in this game, but I aint holding my breath.

No, actually I used rifles for PVE and fencer for PVP.
I am a trandoshan, hence my forum name....

Trandoshans have a low mind pool, don't they? That would put you at a distinct disadvantage and would explain all the brandies and cakes you have to consume. I have no issues with my Wookie Rifleman.

I'm a zabrak and I was fine with a canape and two brandy. After the HAM revamp i'm sure that mind stats will be less critical.

lol, its not just the stupid mind costs... its that I know what rifleman is going to be after the revamp. We arent getting increased range and with slower speed its gonna kill us in PVP and PVE.

I dropped Rifleman today after having it for several months. Iam sick of having to eat 2 brandies and 2 ahrisa ON TOP of my musician buffs... I am sick of the devs view on what rifleman "should" be.. (gimped snipers with crap range) And I just know whats going to happen to this class in the combat revamp. It will be like the old days. Already, rifles are not what they used to be... most of the time anything less than a 400 damage jawa gun will barely poke a whole througha melee component's 60% PSG, 40% stun armor, and center of being, while all a fencer has to do is dizzy KD you and you're toast. So, good bye rifleman, good bye uber gear, good bye rifleman boards... its been fun

If you are zabrak I understand your pain. However realize you chose zabrak, and this was your disadvatnage. You took state defenses + equil, over high focus. If you are human, I sugest you get IDed, and pick back up rifleman.
But yes, zabraks have a huge disadvantage as rifleman, they are melee chars to me.
