This is 60% of the posts in this thread: "I got killed by a sniper one time and I'm the best player on <insert server here> that obiviously means they're fine if not OP!"

This is the other 39%: "I'm a level 10-30 sniper I do <a kajillion damage> I obviously know better than Snipers that have been level 50 before early access was over!"

We are the 1%

I hope developers are reading this, cause this class really deserves some more attention. Cover mechanic is really shabby in fast and mobile pvp environments and there are other issues with gunslinger/sniper that could really use some love ( i get cc'ed while hunkered down, my abilities don't go off, cover animations is just too long, etc. )

OP is freaking nuts, go into cover, I am invincible. Wait while I knock o you and root you and stab you and you are dead trying to get to me. I get a stun? doesn't matter because cover does not have a cooldown, does not have a casting bar, cannot be interrupted. I cannot be charged or interrupted while I am in cover...I am a nasty turret that deals insane amounts of damage and has defensive cooldowns every 45 seconds, a mez every 60 seconds a stun every 60 seconds. Play some other class and then come back and tell me that gunslinger is OP please....

with sharpshooter you have it up for a long time and the cooldown isnt that far away from the effect dropping off, best bet is to get out of focus from the enemy and start over.

there is pretty good defense effects for moving and re-entering cover, its worth it on occasion.

in saying that, the wrong spot, a very mobile enemy and/or los can be a problem at times.
This is false. You can be Force Choked out of Hunker Down/Entrench. Test it.

Some of you guys are just crazy. BTW if you have never hit 200k ever, then this game is not for you.

I've also played a 50 GS in beta.

Like many others have said, the vast majority of GS/Snipers don't know how to play their class. It does take skill admittedly, but with skill you can dominate.

My personal favorite are the Snipers who like to set up on the bridges in voidstar.

No, you're wrong.

I played every class to 50 in beta, Snipers under perform compared to all of them.
