Apparently, I need to up my English writing skills.

I was disagreeing with you (or trying to). I guess I didn't highlight the main point of those posts well enough. I'll bold the main point this time (which Mushy just restated a few posts ago; I'll quote his post here too):

But, that doesn't exclude the class from having very large flaws that need to be fixed.

[However, that] class is still broken. We would still be having the same exact argument, and still be making the same points. The issues would remain the same. Its about the mechanic of a long range weapon.
