it's really sad to because u have the most powerfull gun's in the game next to comando and bh

it would be nice to see a cdef as your main weapon as much nerf crying thats going on here that is possiable

Ok you people finally snapped cause we never asked for that. Ya and are guns are powerful expect we kill are selves alot using them. We have never had a problem with pistoleers.

The only problem I see in relation to the pistoleers is our range handicaps. You just have to admit how idiotic it is how pistols can hit targets hard and often from rifle ranges, and to top it off they get better when the range shortens, as it always does. Grouping in pve is very difficult for rifle users. The targets can be running all over hell so going prone is just torture, while a pistol just cranks out dps at basically any range while running if necessary. As far as our weapons being "powerful", you may also notice our slower rate of fire at sub master level.Currently I have to spam health damaging specials just to remain viable in a group. All the while, other classes can easily keep pace with me without spamming.

Finally figured out what they bitching about. They nerfing one of there pistols. Well i am sorry a pistols should no do more dmg then my t21 to top it off by 100 max

You're pistols aren't far away from our T21s Jerkass, try being a rifleman, nuff said.

the nerve. This pre-adolescent hasnt read the whole story, knows little of actual game mechanics, and doesnt prove a point to stand on. And he has the nerve to post this in riflman forums. Jerkass is right.

We asked the Dev's to fix the T-21, not nerf the FWG5?

Scream at the Dev's for not fixxing and nerfing!

"OMG pistoleers got themselves nerfed by asking for the DX2 to be fixed!!!"£!!!"

That makes about as much sense as blaming riflemen for the FWG5 nerf.

I've been asking for the T21 to have reduced crafting requirements for a while now, I don't see how this has anything to do with the FWG5.

Yes it is sad that they nerfed or will nerf your weapon..I never wished that. Our beef was with the rifle nerfs and the crappy mind costs for crappy weapons. Before you come here and blow me down, do some homework. Be a rifleman. You too will be in here upset and desperate for help, alongside us.

Actually, when you do the math, most pistoleers do 3x as much damage as riflemen with "equivalent" weapons. I have friends with pistols which do 200-300 damage a SECOND, while I can do 500 every 6 seconds...

It depends if you take into account the effect of having +90 speed at master or not. I would agree that when you simply look at the stats of weapons pistols seem far better. Once you hit master you can strafeshot2 every 2 seconds with a laser rifle, this should out damage most pistoleers by quite a lot.

However our long term damage is reduced a great deal by the fact that our specials use mind.

But thats the thing, we have to have master rifleman to be able to outdamage other classes. When we're below master any level pistoleer (practically) can defeat us straight on, no tactics. Now if you put tactics into play the better actual person will win so game mechanics can be primarily thrown out. What people don't seem to understand is that our attacks are limited in number meanwhile their spamming abilities are endless with stimpacks. We are frontloaders, we do alot of damage in 2 shots then have to sit down for a minute. Pistols are marathon men, shooting continuously with impudence.

Now nerfing one of their guns is not the solution I would prefer, but since the original T-21 nerf I guess we will never have any gun worth using outside of a laser rifle. Which is sad...our best gun is usable by lvl 2 marksman. Hell with just a few skill points spent a BH can equal us with rifles in a sense, as if they'd ever drop eyeshot for a crappier harder mind attack.

It is really sad that you thought we wanted a gun nerfed. We wanted or T21 back to what it was because we NO LONGER had the most powerful gun. It was stated as an example that EVEN A PISTOL was more powerful.

There is NO nerf crying here, stop listioning to rumour in inuendo...

Please, get a clue.
