believe me, the pistoleers are the last people the devs are gonna listen to. they only listen to the jedi and novice marksmen.

Minimum ranges?! When our maximum is still only 64 meters?! (don't mention yborgcey rmsaey or wrath shall befall us)

How about this, get TH to up our range to 80 and we'll take a kick in the pants for no shooting a rifle under 10-20?

I have seen pistol weilders agure this now, which makes me mad! I thought us non-jedi professions had some decency for one another, I thought we had each others backs for once after these 2 years of nerfing that lead to nothing but continued imbalance.....

I remember reverse kiting with the 2.5 times melee damage, it was'nt pretty

I like the 80 idea, since we all now know for a fact it can be done.

And it dont screw with the MOBs or any silly excuse like they had before.

well this was brought up quite a while ago and the devs said it is as designed.

The solution that was suggested was min range on rifles.

Fortunately they have decided that it was pointless as a pistoleer can

pickup a level 54 rifle and return fire if they desire and the same with meleers

(though meleers do much less damage)

of course this can still be argued and I will still stand against it

But a pistoleer or a carbineer loses a lot of mods when using a rifle... the rifleman gets maximum benifit at maximum range. I dont have a problem with rifleman range, but I feel this arguement is flawed.

Rifles also have the Second highest SAC in the game, not really good DPS, and only one worth while special Startle Shot- Which pistoleer has and Smuggler has a borked version of that don't work yet.

We are going to suffer so a bunch of duelist can be happy.

Just my 2cents but most of these people that yelling nerf don't know their new specs and how to use them. They lack the brain power to figure out how to utilize every asset of their toon.

Case in point, this pistoleer beef. Pull out a rifle (I know you don't do as much damage with it as a rifleman), hit stopping shot, and move in closer. This whining is ignorant and shows just how much these FOTM classes really know about their toons. I was a MP before CU and spec'ed out of it because of all the FOTMs. The cool thing is I went MR because everyone was talking how it was borked after the CU. I love taking borked professions and playing with them, because like alot of people here I take the time to learn my toon's strengths and weaknesses. And haven't typed /respec since because I love my new template.

That goes on the same line as the whining about the CU. They whined about how it sucked and they were weak... they weren't playing the same game as I was. We can get more hps than the old system allowed if food, spice, and doc buffs are applied properly it is only for a shorter duration. The only real hit was the super outlandish resists which were in a word, stupid.

Don't sweat the small stuff because that is all whiners are, small stuff!

I just want the nerfs to end, 2 full years is enough in my book

I don't want Stopping Shot, or Crit, or even Jedi whom I despise above all professions nerfed..... I would just like to see fixes.
