Level 50 Gunslingers/Snipers in WZ.

Then they place a bomb on your door, cap your turret, or cap the ball while you hide in a corner. LOL! It's one thing to say "lol I'll just hide over here behind this pillar until they are forced to attack us in our boring sandbox arena" it is another to say "lol I'll just hide over here out of sight of our objective to avoid being attacked so they can cap everything and win the game but I didn't die so I am the best 1337 player ever!"

I am sure you are that good that you simply negate the game mechanical issues with mitigation vs heavy armoured targets (marksman) and dispelling (lethality). May I call you Neo?

Zero mobility is intentional. Mobility is suppose to be for Melee. If you want mobility play a juggernaut.

I agree being rooted and not being able to cover needs changed.
However, it using a global cooldown is also intended because you should SETUP to fight. The point of your class is to zone and hit from range you shouldn't be turned into a dropcover on the fly, instagib people while it autospins you to target. You should be punished for your lack of preparation. Yeah, different classes are different.

You can't seriously be saying that because you are unable to do it nobody else can? I think that Neo comment should be aimed towards the original poster of said comment.

One of the things i have noticed most from playing my sniper is that people dont seem to pay any attention to us at all which may be why people think its a less played class.

A big chunk of someones health comes off and players assume its the purple lightning hurling class in front of them, and they never seem to realise its the sniper way off to the left that actualy did the damage to them.

That said the lack of mobility is a problem and with out timing the cc you have (leg shot, debilitate etc) melee classes will eat you alive as soon as they get to you.

I forget the name,but Armor breaker shot, Flashbang/Legshot, Explosive Probe, Ambush, Followthrough (Most classes ar under half health, if not more, after this), Snipe if needed, Followthrough/Killshot if < 30%(Most of the time), if not, Knockback, repeat Ambush. 90% of players are dead at this point.

Note: This is all from MM, I have no experience with the other specs. Unless every single thing you pretty much have is on cooldown, I just don't see losing to a melee running up to you. The only class that has consistently destroyed me in PvP is a level 50 Smuggler, with that damn Cloak, Backstab, Vanish, I'm on the ground for 4-5 seconds, and he two shots me out of claok again. God I hate that guy. lol. I haven't come across him since the nerf so I don't know how it would play out now.

I think the cloass will just take more time for players to develop into. And I really hope people bring out the best this class has to offer.

Also,


OORRBIIITAAALLLL STRIIIIIIIIIIII***EEEE.

I give up. I like the fact that most think the sniper is terrible or useless. People leave me alone both in terms of calling for nerfs and in terms of engaging me...

that's right, just let me be

His range covers half the map. you must run really fast.

LINE OF SIGHT.

Fly under the Radar and accept any pity buffs, imo.

People still gripe about Operatives spamming one ability. It'll be a while before people realize that targeting reticule isn't just some random graphics bug that happens during a fight.

Its all play style that gives them a bad rep. I rerolled an Assassin myself more because I've always been a fan of a debuffer tank, but knowing how to use the cover system and when to use entrench is vital for a sniper/gunslinger. Most of all, if you're freaking out and running when people attack you, you're dead. Stand your ground soldier! If one way or another you're dead, die doing as much damage as you can! Sometimes you'll be presently surprised.
