Just because we do mind damage doesnt mean we need to use mind to do it. BH eyeshot= Action. I am not sure about Swordsman but I dont think they use mind. TK can attack the mind I dont think they use it either. We are forced to sit once we are drained, unlike other classes. It makes our lvl grind longer. Other classes kill faster and have less down time. I say we should either use action like the other ranges classes or we should gain mind regen as we progress.

No. Fix BH yes, change us off mind is a big no-no.

2H swordsmen special attacks do use mind pool points.

This isn't needed, if you just lowered hams a bit, or upped damage to take a higher ham into account, mind bar useage wouldn't be an issue, if anything make bh use mind not us the other way around.

The ability to use a stim and get back in the action is real nice, one I wish we had. I agree if they lowered HAM costs that would go along way in helping us. I use more HAM using HS3 with a DLT with a mind rating of 26 than I would using Eyeshot with a Scatter rated at 51 HAM. Having the costs so high limits the weapons we can use. I love a Jawa Ion but it costs me 74 to shoot HS2. If I use HS3 its over 100. That is about 10% of my total mind HAMl, sorry but that is crazy. I wouldnt mind if I could just heal and keep going but we have to sit. Something needs to change.

Yes but the change really can't be to shift us to the action pool, The one thing we use over and over to fend people off the "nerf the rifleman" bandwagon is by pointing this fact out. For some reason none of them pick up on the BH eyeshot business so who knows whats up with that. I actually prefer having a stronger mind pool because it makes me a better anti sniper so I am happy that rifles draw off of it, I just wish they did it at a more reasonable rate.
