Well, in regards to pve, no one will ever know if a class is underpowered since there isn't a shared combat log.

And im simply stating facts here.

BH has a knockback, does not require cover, superior to Sniper
BH has a stun, has range on it, Sniper's is melee range, Superior to sniper
BH has cast time damage abilities, deal more or equal amounts of damage to similar cast time abilites of snipers, does not require cover, again Superior to Sniper
BH has high damage mitigation, Sniper has the low damage mitigation.
BH can have heals/dispels, Sniper can have.. cover?

I guess BH have it rough eh?
I know bounty hunters are fine, I wasn't implying they aren't.


I'm saying that gunslingers are also fine, you're just one of those people that will talk non-stop about how terrible your class is and then cherry pick specific topics and/or flat out lie to make your class seem worse than it is.

Bh casts of equal activation times do not do less damage than snipers, that's completely false, you've also left out a lot of advantages snipers have over BHs, an AoE ranged instant mezz for instance.

well i said playing against competent teams, the keyword here is competent.

When entrenched is on CD every fart is getting you out of cover and youre damage is now only 10% of what it is while in cover.

There is no other class which is so easy negated ...


and speaking of burst, tell me where the burst is when i have to set up my cover first and then channel my abilities. Every keyboard turner is now out of range or has stunned/knocked you or other crap or has just LOS

play Sniper/Gunslinger against player that know how we work and you will just die alot ...

I'm surprised this isn't brought up more often, but shields work on weapon attacks and nothing else. So that in theory may make Gunslingers/Snipers under those circumstances weaker compared to other classes. When I play my Sniper I know this, so I try to go after other targets if I can help it.

If that's how you want to roll with this, then ok.

I do fine on my Sniper. L2play. Play to your strengths and stop complaining about your weaknesses.

well lets see how fine you are when the 50 brackets are here and the majority of people have figured out how to counter us.

at least i can read and dont make false assumptions because i dont know the difference between "and" and "or"

Gunslinger and Sniper are one of the underplayed classes, so you probably won't see a lot of support with this. But, I do agree. (Although my character is a Sniper, not a Gunslinger)

The Cover mechanic is a very bad way to do PvP for the Sniper, yet our best spec is reliant upon it. Well, hopefully when they do some Scoun/Op nerfs, they will buff Sniper a bit too.
