Level 50 Gunslingers/Snipers in WZ.

My friend is a gunslinger in not even full champ, and he tops the damagechart about every game. So its just a l2p issue. They are the best singletarget rdps class in the game. All about positioning, choosing your targets, waiting for opportunity and CC. Bubble is also very good and is a definite gamechanger in close battles.

Proof?

No, really. I'm a Sniper in "not even full champ", and when either team is full of people who actually have a clue--I'm barely reaching the top 3 on damage.

yeah you know better

Snipers/slingers excel against targets that don't pay attention to them. They have to be one of the easiest classes to avoid damage from if you're patient/paying attention. I'm actually pretty happy on mine, but IMO they're probably the most support/group oriented class.

I had a 40 sniper. Major problem I had was lag in deploying cover.

Another issue is in PVP mobility is everything. So while you run into position then hit cover and take your shot your pretty much gimping yourself.

Meanwhile your bh buddy is bending over and tossing out 2.5k tracer missile spam without the red/blue neon glowing 'Look I'm a sniper' cover bar mechanic.

PVP is all about positioning and quick movement. You need to be really good sniper to do that in PVP. Too much hassle.

Just roll sith sorc. You get bubble, roadrunner abilities and lightning. Your pretty much good to go at lvl 16.

I honestly can't believe that a couple of people think snipers are ok. They need a moderate improvement IMO.

Snipers are fine actually.

Too much energy drain is the only thing wrong.

Dont know about that. I just know that my Gunslinger friend kills Sorcerers in less than 5 seconds if he doesn't get disturbed :s

EDIT: And Snipers do the same with me.

Tell him to level to 50 and try again.
