rifles do more damage? I WISH!!!!!

As a Master Rifleman only carbineer with the knock down shot or a pistol with the Bh skill to knockdown have a chance of stopping me. I shoot HEadshot3 too fast and drop them in 1 to 2 hits i have even been knocked down in the middle of my second shot and they died

FYI my lame server doesnt have T21s yet im using a lame E11 because i dont like the dmg variance on laser rifles which only npcs drop on my server hahah. Anyway im guess if i ever get a t21 i dont think ill Ever not 1shot someone.

So what you're basically saying is that after grinding out the millions of XP points to become Master Rifleman, the ONLY people you fear are NOVICE marksmen with Action Shot and a NOVICE BH's with Underhand Shot. I don't know about you, but I see a problem with that. I see a problem with someone who spent 70K XP to get Action Shot EASILY owning a Master Rifleman who spent over 4 million XP to get where he is.

Pistoleers are meant for close range, Carbineers are meant for medium range, Rifleman are meant for long range. Technically between these 3 professions none of them dominate eachother. Perhaps Rifleman has a greater chance at defeating a Pisoleer, but that depends on how close the Pistoleer can get to the Rifleman. From what I've read and understand is that none of these 3 professions really cannot dominate over one another. Rifleman are very slow with their rifles, Carbines are faster than Rifles, Pistols are faster than Carbines. But Rifles do more damage than Carbines, Carbines do more damage than Pistols. So if you think about it no matter how fast or slow or how much damage your gun can do you will actually be dishing out the same amount of damage to your opponent either as a Rifleman, Carbineer, Pistoleer.

What's the point of being either 3 of these professions other than providing support in a fight? If you ask me all professions should have a great deal of certain fields that will dominate other professions but not all. Instead this gives almost an equal chance of winning a duel with another Player. Then what's the fun in that if it's a 50/50 chance unless you are just higher in skill levels than your opponent? No fun at all.

I think a lot of these professions need to be worked on so every different kind of profession has a lead of something over another profession. So far Bounty Hunters is the only profession that impresses me. And as for a Commando...hmm... I heard from numerous people that it's not all cracked up as it's said to be.
