I wouldn't worry about it too much. I'm a TK/rifleman and I've come across NS protectors that were 100% resistant to every type of damage a rifleman can do. This is why you get 250 skill points. Make your character versitile. The only thing I could hurt them with was kinetic damage. It works both ways. Don't be so boring and learn other skills.

Anjh...it's ok baby...Crash obviously can't read sigs...

you guys are both nicely diversified. Hell, on Tarq one of my friends was paying 100k per good big Krayt Dragon my lil' bro found while he was a MRanger. And all he had to do was FIND them, not even fight them.

I wasn't looking to flame or get flamed. I don't pay attention to peoples signeitures too often. However, if you want to go there, look at all you characters professions. Notice a trend? having all TKM's doesn't seem very diverse to me. All I was saying is I totally agree with one combat profession being able to own the galaxy. Why should someone who only dedicates half thier skill points into combat be able to kill anything they want? As a master rifleman I thought I owned the galaxy too until I came up against the first thing that was 100% resistant to all my weapons, this never happened to me before. That's when I realized that if I want to keep killing anything I want when I came across it I would have to pick up something that would make me a more diverse fighter. I figured what could be the most opposite from rifleman then TK. That's how I ended up on these forums. I am now a master rifleman/TKM. I like this combo because if there is something I can't kill with my rifle, I can probably still just go kick the crap out of it.

i totally agree that no one class should be able to solo everything, and even that this game has gone too far down that road and there aren't enough fights that require grouping (and sorry crash, you're right... the flames are unnecessary)

i just don't think that 100% resists are the way to address that...

if i need help to kill something that's good, that's a tough fight

if i need to get somebody else tokill it for me, that's not a solution since i might as well not be there

the new combat balance will hopefully make it so there are both soloable fights and more group-oriented fights in the game... but i think that's a separate issue than whether there should be 100% resists

This thread was not started with, nor did I say...at all, that we should be able to solo the galaxy. I would not mind if the mob was 90% resistant, tough as nails, and I need help. But 20 TKMs could not touch it, and that seems not right at all. It was about 100% resists, not about being able to solo God.

The reason I mention "owning" the galaxy is because the with the games mechanics the way they are and today's buffs and armors the way they are. Certain professions have the ability to solo anything that doesn't have 100% against things. It's unfortinute, but that's the best way they can control this issue. I'm a born and raised rifleman new to the TKM title. Now both of these professions are known as uber professions so I'm assuming you guys have fough as many different high level mobs as I have with my rifle. But incase you haven't many of them have a resistance of 100% to one or more damage types. Fortunatly, it's usually not to big of a deal but once in a while it does get frustrating. Maybe if someone came up with a better idea on how they could do this they might consider it. I know they don't change everything we ask for, but they do change something that are a good idea. So with that said....any ideas?

I'm not flaming , and if someone else has pointed this out, sorry for reposting.

Fact is though, yes Elders are 100% to kinetic dmg, but they are vulnerable to other kinds. The skill points required to reach TKM still leave us plenty of room to get a class that can lay smackdowns on those witches.

It may seem like we are being mistreated by making some mobs totally resistant to our kind of damage, IMHO that just makes sense. If we could solo everything, using nothing but our UAH 3, all the people saying we are way overpowered would have a point.

As I say, weve got room to add other classes and keep being TK's (I myself will be MCH-TKM and a very competant rifleman, with sniper shot)

I just don't think we have much to complain about...I can solo unbuffed(as any TKM could) the high paying Janta/Mokk/Dantari missions . These are mobs that are nearly 100% resistant to energy and electrical damage. I have seen personally a MR get put down and a MBH. I think we have it made personally

quoted from above:

there are a LOT of character profiles in this game that only have room for one combat class... all the crafters and docs and politicians and entertainers, right off the top of my head
