Well with the coming combat revamp I wanted to ask you guys what you thought if we will become a dead profession and scarce or will be just as strong as we are. I have been a master rifleman for only a couple of months and have grown accustomed to my headshot 3 and strafeshot 2. I'm just wondering if we will be torn apart and gutted like people have wanted for so long.

I'd waitto see an official post from the devs about what they intend to do before jumping to conclusions

Of course rifleman will be scarce, just like all the other professions. Everyone is working on being a jedi now.

Dont believe the rumors. Right now they are made up things and pure speculation. Too many defense stackers are hoping that we are getting nerfed to hell and back and are voicing their dreams. The fact of the matter is that we have little going for us in terms of working specials. Once the HAM system is redone headshot3 will probably (just guessing) be the same as any other single target pool attack. As far as speed, accuracy, or AP changes there has been no definite answer to that.
I see/hope melee in general taking a bigger nerf than rifleman ever will.
Maybe they'll make tumble the same thing as center of being or vice versa LIKE IT SHOULD BE.

All we can do is wait and see. As others have said, anything you hear now is purely speculation.

I'm on the sandbox team, and I'll make this promise:
I've been playing for more than a year now. I've been through my share of professions WITHOUT the glimmering seduction of a single holocron. I want this game to improve. the combat revamp is our best hope right now, and the correspondents are united in their excitement.
I'm still waiting for the devs and correspondents to give us more information, but I share the optimism that the staff and community representatives are oozing with right now.
I WILL not let the rifle community suffer... but neither will I put our personal demands over the welfare of the game overall.
from what I've seen, the Test Center players have been working (without pay, and usually thanklessly) to get this game polished from pre-code to live-push.
I'd expect some turbulence inflight... but the destination should be rewarding.

with luck following the combat revamp we wil be harder than we are now.
personally im not going to bother with stupid jedi stuff.... well grinding it anyway.
I do hear a rumour that tapes are being removed from the game, in which case i will need to take the speed to remain at cap........

I think rifleman is the only viable ranged profession at present, and people may say your over powered I think this isnt true I think the other ranged professions are under powered. I wouldnt mind seeing riflemen's firing speed cap out earlier I think with a rifleman shooting at the speed of a pistoleer makes little sense.
If any type of profession need the nerf bat its the melee professions at present these pwn at pvp at the moment.

the rumours I've heard are that Rifleman will be turned into more of a Sniper, then the run-and-gun fighters we are now.
In other words, I believe our Speed and Accuracy on the move will be reduced, but we should retain High Damage.
Carbineer will most likley take the place of the run-and-gunning

No, Rifleman will not be dead. If anything, we will be better.
