(As the above posts illustrate)

Too bad dealing damage alone in a warzone is not an accurate measure of whether or not a class is good or bad.

Gunslinger/Sniper are far and away the worst advanced class in the game.

-You can do decent damage, but not while being attacked.
-You have no worthwhile instant damage abilities, instead you have casted or channelled abilities that deal as much damage or less then the instant abilities of other classes.
-You have virtually no survivability. Id say without a doubt snipers are the easiest class to kill.
-You have no mobility, you are forced to stand still to do damage. Move and your damage is about 10% of what it was behind cover.
-and to top it off your damage is incredibly easy to mitigate/avoid by simply line of sighting or going out of range.

It seems they spent too much time making Operatives stupidly overpowered to make snipers decent. I guess you picked the wrong class.
I think you have to get better I have no problem 1v1 with any class in melee range. SNiper is gear dependent get some more BM gear and ambush hits for 7k. It does kind of suck most of our damage is mitigated by armor but that is what shatter shot is for.

I've never hit for 7k...ever. Rarely if ever hit for 5k.

Oh boy this pity party is still going on?
Fine, I'll take an unnecessary buff on behalf of all you scrubbly bubbles
But just know that when the crapstorm of QQ comes down in the forums over how OP I am, I will be pointing at YOU

Go ahead, buff Gunslinger/Sniper so that you don't have to l2p. I'll just have even more fun playing it as my alt. Seriously, just learn the class. I know several Gunslingers in my guild who do amazingly well in PvP.

im sorry but they really cant buff the dmg or dps of gunsliner or sniper without making them the MUST HAVE DPS for any PVE flashpoint or op.
they do tremendously well in pve as it is but their pvp is standard.
scoundrels and operatives do really well in pvp but are subpar in pve.
its a tradoff and you picked a better pve class. sorry but no buffs ever plz.

They are already "must have" because they are the only class with raidwall and are vastly under represented.
