I got this as a PM on the SWG Forum
Proposed Rifleman Changes
Ok, last week when the forum gods messed up, and made everyone a CM correspondant for about 45 minutes, A'rien (Xors on the forums) and I got on and looked around at the proposed changes for Publish 8 on teh Correspondant forums. This is what we saw for Riflemen:
Here are the changes we saw:
- 3 second speed cap for rifle. 1 second for pistols, 2 for carbines.
- Defense reduction. The numbers being tossed around were on par with TKA. 55 or so Ranged and 20 Melee. This I could deal with without much complaint.
- The kicker. Shot modifier reduction. Strafe2 being dropped to 4x. The rest of our AOE's dropping to 3x.
THats a 20% damage reduction for Strafe2, and 25% for the other shots. In addition to a 66% reduction in DPS on top of that with the 3 second cap.
