I do not disagree with you...however, I can understand the plight of the class developers, because if you look at snipers in a group ranked situation (the highest tier of pvp) snipers are immensely strong. This is due to having heals and guard, in combination with sniper cooldowns, adding on the damage potential the class has? I can see them having issues buffing the class with a defensive buff, because I think this would lead to a damage nerf. I think that currently snipers are in a pretty bad spot for solo ranked dps vs dps matches, but I am quite pleased with the performance of the class in team ranked, and do not want bioware to change anything with the class, because as we have seen in the past, when they buff/nerf something..they dont do it in small amounts. It is either retardedly OP or a massive nerf (look at powertech pyro 2.0 LEL) and I dont want to see the class I love be destroyed by poor developer choices..so while it could be better..I think it could be a whole lot worse lol.

I'm 10/10 on the nim df dp stuff I'd be down to come do the damagez, I don't think I have the new 3.0 pve gear tier but I should still have all my 186 s from when that stuff was the highest tier

your guild?

In regs on the low end I think I do 1400-1500 dps and on the high average end 2k dps, then you get that ONE great game where the other team has a lot of heals and you do 2600 then you retire.

Also, edited to put in a utility section, however, it was about 3:30 AM when I was doing the gunslinger section and the utility sections, so if theres anything I mixed up (like Imp vs Pub utility names) let me know

Sorry about the delay, hadn't been playing much, but finally remembered to check the forums and got that gunslinger version posted. Also edited to add some colors and spoiler tags so it doesnt all look like one giant research paper from college and make it easier to read hopefully. Thanks for the feedback boiz

Title says it all, is this "create a fresh 60 on whatever server you want" thing in 4.0 (I presume that fallen empire = 4.0 anyway due to new levels ect ect) the fabled "better than cross server" that was discussed maybe a year ago? Can we get an answer on this so we can figure out whether there is still hope?

So i've seen a lot of people complaining both in game and on the forums that snipers don't perform well in pvp due to the inherent lack of self heals or the lack of something like a sorc's bubble or an operative's stealthout. While I do not believe this to be true, and I dearly hope that bioware doesn't listen to these complaints (if they were to buff the sniper defensives, they would have to severely nerf the damage potential the class has.) About Me Defensives/Mitigation Putting it all together to not die in 6 seconds Useful Utility Points Credits/Acknowledgements As I said earlier, sorry this was my first guide, hopefully it was helpful to at least one or two people, and feel free to leave comments with opinions, questions, or feedback on the "guide" if you could call it that (i'd prolly just call it a giant cluster f**k of ideas but to each their own) P.S. I havent said radius that many times since middle school. I feel smart :rak_03:

Only if you promise to carry me in le pvez bby

do we want to try for every Monday night starting around 1030 eastern?

/agree. It's a shame everyone on this thread is talking about the aoe thing for regs instead of the implications for ranked. I agree with kakarot, there should def be some incentive other than a color crystal.

Thanks for the quick response Alex, sorry I didn't see it until now, but is there any way I can contact you more directly than simply posting on the forums? Be it Skype or email or something where we can more easily get a good dialogue going between us with thoughts and ideas for the betterment of pvp? I play team ranked all across the American servers and feel like I am pretty in touch with "the pvper mentality". EDIT: Feel free to message me on forum account as well if that works better for you.

I see what you're saying and while I don't disagree with you, bioware is saying they have basically killed win trading for the most part, so as long as they continue doing that, it might be possible for a change like that to work. I don't know I'm just throwing out ideas to get people to queue team ranked
