Thread: Usefull rifleman defense
I have heard similar things said, but here is my offering on it.
The 2.5 damage multiplier and such a poor point blank shot are my 2 biggest complaints, and I have a way to ease the pain of these.
1 - Cut the crazed 2.5 damage multiplier down to 1.35 if we need to have one at all.
2- Give us a point blank Defense called riflebutt. The point blank penalty would be +30 when standing, it would have a damage of 50-100 points, and it would give a 75% chance of a state effect of either stun + lower posture or just a strait knock down. This is only a defensive move that would do very little damage, especially in pvp but would give us a chance to get a few meters between us and the attacker.
With these 2 changeswe would become far from Uber but it would allow us to be a little more competative and to get KO a little less.
Now, if I could entertain a 3rd thought, I like all rifleman would like to see our T-22 given back to us properly or give us a new gun that would be available at Master Rifleman that would be even more potent and very costly to create (but not impossible).
These small changes along with fixing the skills and modifiers would make us a very viable class in pvp and pve, as it stands now it is becoming just to hard to justify our profession. But, I have hope like all of you that one day the light will shine on us for a while.
