I wish they would change it back, kinda makes the selection of damage types for rifleman pretty much acid, energy, and stun

Because they Dev's said they were reserving Kinetic for melee. Sure we'll give you Kinetic if you give us TKM's Acid, Stun, Heat, and Energy

Too bad the striker completely sucks....
Rifleman shouldn't have every damage type...they're already overpowered enough as it is...

Rifleman pay for the dmg for there lack of defences. It is a pretty balanced profesion. It is like swordman. Heavy attacks with little defence though swordman have a few more defences.

Understandable but pistols have the striker. Not very consistent.

The devs should just make the Tusken Rifle AP0 with stats comprable to the Striker. They should do the same with the Nym Slugthrower, too. Leaving the Tusken Rifle as Energy damage, (and the Nym Slugthower as Acid, for that matter), makes no sense, because all it does is make those two guns into redundant novelties that have no real practical use. Giving Rifleman and Carbineers an AP0 Kinetic weapon wouldn't unbalance the game in the least, considering how powerful all the melee profs are already. (Note, the devs should also hurry up and get the new VKs in the game, plus Fencers and Swordsman should each be given a weapon with one more damage type.)
