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.
Well, I think that class is generally OK, maybe lacking here and there, but as in the quote, vast majority of sniper/slinger problems comes from players being unable to play it right.

Sure, melee=99% death with maybe saboteurs having some slight chances, but generally class is fine-what is the difference however is pretty high skill cap and inability to WTFPWN all other classes like mercs and sorcs and even ops(yes, even with nerf, L2P scrubs).

I dont understand how you are hitting for 5k and i am not..
The shot wont determine my skill in the game. I play as a team player. Hutt ball , cover or run with the ball carrier (i rarely miss a pass). Demolition on the doors , i always target the one planting or defusing. Same goes for the map with the cannons. Im not a bad player. Im an average player. I attack and defend with all my abilities and ive more than once decided a game for my side. This still doesnt help with the damage im dealing and the energy consuption. Ive specced to sharpshooter and back and not getting these 5k hitts of yours.. What is your spec?

When used right, it melts people away. Also use speed relic and black market mods before you start Speed shooting people. It's a lot different if you channeling in 3 sec doing 3K or 1,4 secs doing 3K damage in that time, while you can recast it almost instant.

You can basically melt a healer out of a group.

I got swarmed, no escape possible.

Hunker down, blow defensive cooldowns, Speed relic on, blackmarket mods on. Melting their Sorc out of a grp of 5 before they could kill me, in like 5-6 seconds.
Except that you can do 2k+ crits with simple Charged Burst.
And only a very bad player don't move after you fire at least one Speed Shot cast on them (not to mention 3 times with the top tier useless skill).

He's using numbers from pre-bracket PvP when he was hitting level 10-20 Sages while under the effects of the PvP pickup expertise bonus.
Completely dismiss him and other people saying Snipers are fine, they don't play a Sniper currently and if they do they're in their either fresh early 20s when they have full level 20 PvP gear or early 40s with the full PvP gear. Since bolster gives you stats based on how good your gear is in relation to your level having BiS gear at level 20 and 40 makes you out perform level 50s with mediocre gear.

I run a minimum 6:1 KD, and usually have a top 5 objective score as well. Even against 50s I'm critting over 4K and I have only 2/5 Champ pieces. It's ridiculous. I can 1v1 3/4 classes w/o breaking a sweat. If you guys want a buff I won't complain...I'll take it and lay waste more than I already do.

L2P guys. Crazy thing...this is my first MMO.
I love how some random come to forum, no bothering read at least couple of last pages and start saying "L2P" to ppl he even don't know. And if you're talking to one of the very experienced PvP-er who fought very tough premades on top PvP EU server and you simple can not comprehend the level of skill play he is talking about? I'm not saying it's like that but don't go L2P to everyone because you don't know who are you talking to.

On regard of your post - it's irrelevant how much damage you can have. Specially in Voidstar (the best wz to score lots of AoE damage numbers on gates with surtain conditions met). It's about the bugs the class has. If you imply that this class is "ok" then you're simply haven't reach it's limits yet and play against incompetive players. Think about it.

They clearly underperform And there is nothing what makes us superior to other Classes.
Why should i Choose Slinger when there is nothing that this class brings to the table.

I have Seen Mercs And sorcs dealing 400-500 k damage but they have far better utilitys then
We have .

For Being the pure Dps class our damage is simply to low . well Maybe its Not to Low but wie cant bring the Dps to people because of awkward coversystem, Bugs , Immobility And other Things mentioned here

Yes i know l2p And stuff.
