Level 50 Gunslingers/Snipers in WZ.

They are underpowered. In a game where EVERY class is dps, then the pure dps class needs to have ZOMG! NERF THIS CRAP! dps. And do you ever hear anyone crying about nerfing Snipers and Slingers? Nope. Which means they do "good" dps in a game where everyone does "good" dps. But they don't get the defense, heals and utility of other classes. If done right every third post on the pvp forum should be entitled "Aimed Shot".

Hmm this sounds supiciously like "balance".

They are probably pretty close to that for sure, just the big issue is that they are the hardest to play. If you're not making use of all your tools, you're missing out on a lot of potential.

Seen any lately? They are almost non existent on my server... I have 2 alts 1 is a 41 Guardian and the other is a 40 gunslinger... I'm not sure which to take to 50. I struggle to find any real top quality pvp footage on them, and rarely see them in Warzones...

Are Gunslingers/Snipers Underpowered? or people just hate to play this class in general over the other options?

If anyone could find 50vs50 footage of gunslinger/sniper it would be appreciated.
I'm also wondering if BioWare is going to maybe buff this AC since its barely played in Warzones?

I still play my sniper off and on but frankly they aren't that fun. No self healing, very squishy, most attacks mitigated (unless you are letahlity but then you have very little burst), gear itemization was done by a drunk monkey and half your abilities use Bioware's RNG system when deciding whether or not to work.

can't be charged/pulled/pushed while in cover. yeah life is rough.

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.

Are the 10% who stay alive all the tank classes? I'd love to see how you kill a shadow who knows how to play with that kind of a combo. He just lols at you with his deflection. Also as a gunslinger I can't rely on sabotage charge (the equivalent of explosive probe) because half of the times it doesn't even *********** work.

We have a lot cc, yeah, but we can't use them all because of resolve. Heck, our stun alone nearly fills out the bar. This is really bad in 1v1's because we are the squishiest class in the game for a melee. Even with dodge, which only works for 3 seconds and against white damage, our ridicilous 1-2k shield, and the 20% less damage bubble, you are just not going to outdamage your melee opponent. The gas grenade that reduces the target's accuracy for 45% doesn't seem to work against majority of the abilities.

I got 500 expertise so I'm rather good geared already. Getting my centurion gun tomorrow, making me have full pvp gear. The difference of well geared opponent and badly geared one is HUGE. Sometimes I feel like a god when I just pound through enemies, killing them left and right like a boss, only to be dropped back to reality in a harsh way when I meet an opponent that is equally, or better, geared than me. Suddenly all that epic damage disappears and all that is left is nonexistent defense.

Fix the incredibly awkward combat system at starters. Half of the abilities are bugging most of the time, and you just better hope some of the spells activate within the first 5 presses or within 3 global cooldowns. Fixing the combat system to work as it should would be enough of a buff for me right now.

Tanks I DoT them up and then do that combo... the only ones that survive are the ones with a couple healers on them... admittingly though, Shadows/Assassins give me tough fights. I have to pop my cooldowns for those so they don't kill me first. The tank ones I think would screw me, but I have yet to see one tank stance rather than DPS stance in a WZ unless they are focusing on huttball carrying and not killing.
