I don't know what you're talking about yummy. When I solo, I have 0 down time, and I never get touched. As far as grouping goes, I'm such a wrecking ball that often times, even if I'm the only one attacking mind pool, I kill it via mind faster than the rest of the group combined.

My only advice is keep practicing. Once you get the tactics of a rifleman nailed down, you're a wrecking ball.

I don't know what kind of fantasy world you play; obviously one full of newbs. I''ve been playing rifleman versions since beta 2. Right now I can easily procure a 45-185 2.2 second pistol that's accuract from 0 to 55 meters(that's unsliced). The best rifle has about 50% of the DPS of this gun and is only accurate from 30 meters out. You sound very green to me. All the advantage of using the rifle give great disadvantages all over the place, as I listed in that thread; however, a pistol user can circumvent every **edit** one and still go to MIND. and with their uber pistols they not only have no drawbacks but they do much more damage... TO MIND.

Honestly, I don't think EyeSHot needs to be nerfed. Instead, what needs to be nerfed is Pistol Accuracy at long range. I find it ridiculous that a pistol can CONSISTENTLY hit targets at 60 meters out and a rifle can't hit anything at less then 25 meters. As a rifleman, I DEMAND my range advantage because it's the only thing I have.
