You won because at the time the match ended the score was 352 to 485. The 720 would have been the score of the enemy team in the next round but it didn't come to that.

Well, if you look at JC overall and what rating all the classes have, then you can easily say that JC is apparently well-suited for a Sniper. I mean, the highest rating on that server has a Sniper. That tells you something about that server. I def gonna make an instant lvl 60 Sniper on that server with the expansion.

Dear BioWare, I'd like to make the suggestion that you add another bracket for ranked group play to the PvP queue. Said bracket being a 2v2 ranked bracket. Keep the 4v4 bracket. At the same time, I'd like to suggest to remove the current form of solo ranked and transform it into a normal queue for arenas, have it a skirmish mode and have it also the option to queue 2v2 and 4v4 in order for people to just enjoy quick matches or even better as a testing ground for the real ranked arenas before people jump into the cold water, saying it is way too cold and will avoid the cold water for the rest of their life. Furthermore it would be nice with this change to also remove every arena map from the warzone queue. Why 2v2 bracket for ranked one might ask. Well, we do not have cross-server queue, we do not have any possibility to test teams in a ranked-like environment. Also the number of teams that play 4v4 on all the servers are way too low. I don't know the exact numbers but I see it on my own server ToFN, I see it on the german servers, I hear it from the other EU servers and also from the US servers. There are not a lot of people playing 4v4. So why not just add a 2v2 bracket to the queue, you would only need half of the players you require now to get a match started. Shouldn't that result in more teams participating in ranked play? Faster pops? More competition maybe? Even better if you also add a non-ranked queue for 2v2 and 4v4 bracket. People could finally test their team before they play for the rating and no, pre-season is not a good thing for this. Also, how were people supposed to test in a pre-season when there was no pre-season 5 and won't be for season 6. Another thing about having a 2v2 bracket, I for one can't be bothered to find 3 other players nowadays in order for me to queue for 4v4. I tried it a couple of times, but people jump ship when you're not winning everything or their precious rating will be ruined, then you have to get a replacement, then someone doesn't have time this evening or the other, find a replacement or don't play that night. Also the time, all 4 have to have time at the same time, that was actually an issue for my teams before. Needless to say, my teams all disbanded sooner or later. I'm thinking if we would have a 2v2 bracket for ranked, one would require just another player to form a group and then they can queue. Easy as that and also at any time. Just need a second player, that shouldn't be a problem in my opinion. Also, keep the current arena maps for the 2v2 brackets, you don't have to resize them or create new ones, just use the existing ones. Please BioWare, consider this suggestion.

If you're a Sniper and want to do some PvP w/o having to much of a struggle, I'd suggest you transfer to Jedi Covenant.

Thank you that you felt the need to insult and ridicule me. You accomplished so much by doing that. Very impressive. Care to share the name of said Sniper? I'd like to look up said Sniper on the leaderboard and see his placement in all the seasons for solo and group just to get some insight how beast that guy is.

Well exactly. You can't do it for some and leave others behind, that is already unbalanced but then lots of people jump the fotm train and it becomes even more unbalanced for the rest that didn't jump on that train. Either buff everybody to the same level or nerf everybody onto the same level, but this? This is not balanced.

So are you saying that Sniper is only valid in a PvP environment while having a tank and healer around? Also if you say that you do acknowledge the fact that w/o these two the Sniper has problems and you do assume that a Sniper is doing fine with a tank and healer, but so does every other class, one better than the other. Do we all need to get ourselves a personal tank and a pocket healer now to do PvP? What if there is either no tank or pocket healer around? Would that mean that I shouldn't PvP at that time then? This trinity comp arguement shouldn't be applied when it comes to the self-sufficiency of a class. You can't expect everbody or anybody to run around with a tank and a healer all the time and also make a class only really evolve its full potential while having this support whilst other classes don't need that. It is a disadvantage and not fair unless every class would require this. Are you thinking that it is fine for Snipers to be not self-sufficient, while most other classes are? Do you call that fair? Furthermore what does that have to do with trinity comp?

Get it in your head that I am not trying to have this class balanced around solo ranked. I never said it anywhere, so stop making assumptions. The survivability issue is present in all PvP aspects, in some less, in some more. It doesn't matter, they are there.

Sry for the late response, I was suspended from the forums for a week. I didn't smack talk you, I was stating the fact that you transfered back which would mean that Shadowlands wasn't a server to enjoy thus you had nothing to laugh about in regards of that one guy saying you would laugh at this thread. I guessed that this guy probably thinks that Sniper doesn't need any changes in the survivability compartement. You get it now? Btw BW? How about you demonstrate to all of us how well Sniper is doing in PvP and get a Dev to play one and stream it in order to teach us how to play Sniper the right way because apparently we all are doing something wrong. I dare you BW.

It would be nice if people would also state what aspect of the game they have in mind when proposing changes. It strikes me that most here propose their changes w/o thinking of the other aspect like proposing a change that would benefit PvE but not PvP and vice versa. I'm talking from a PvP perspective here. I for one would propose a change of the 2 piece set bonus that Penetrating Blasts, Explosive Probe and Cull (or Weakening Blast) would increase the damage dealt by 5% instead of 2%. Furthermore this Lethal Shot is such a lack luster... I hardly ever do it in PvP, I might use it 2 times in a month and the thing is that I'm doing fine (giving the survivability circumstance there is) w/o using this crap. At the moment I'm not using that ability as a filler or something, I rather spent my GCD on other things and no, it's not in my rotation of Lethality because Lethality doesn't have a friggin rotation but a priority list. That ability should be either completely removed from the game or it's dmg significantly increased and it should be an instant cast with a possible proc chance from Lethalities dots like every 15sec when a dot crits. This would make if far more attractive to use and for once a useful ability. 4 piece set bonus is not ok. The reduced CD of Target Aquired is not much regarding the high CD the ability has. This might would work better if the CD of Target Aquired would be reduced to 1min then with the 4 piece set bonus it would have a CD of 45sec which would be way more useful to have. Keep the 15 energy. I don't know how much this would change things for PvE Snipers tho but I guess it would be nice. 6 piece set bonus is alright. And BW, how about your promised survivability buff for Snipers in PvP? Will we get something with 4.0 or will we be still stuck with Merc at the bottom of the food chain? If you say Snipers are fine and doing well in PvP then PLEASE go ahead, get a Dev of yours to play Sniper in PvP and stream that and show to us HOW WELL Snipers are doing in PvP, I dare you.

Ah alright then.

I don't know if I understand your post correctly or not but well I'm usually quite humble and don't brag, so some people might not know me.

Beast Snipers? That had to transfer back to their old server since they couldn't get any rating on shadowlands? Ye I bet they laugh a lot.

Supporting this thread. Merc needs love as much as Sniper does.
