I think I'm starting to smell troll.
Normalized is not the same as BOLSTERED, if i mod my lower lvl with purps of the highest rating his weapon dmg goes up WAY UP!!! you realize that cunning is the stat on armor for slingers and by throwing it up your dmg stats go up??? have you ever pvp'd sir?

But i realize the game your playing your gonna try to rip me up incite me and when I fire back you'll report me lol

First of all Sub 50 PVP means NOTHING.

And concerning not being CC'ed THAT ONLY WITH Hunker Down activated. Its like calling all sentinels OP cuz they always take no dmg.

If i ignore any class thats on me they will kill me so I fail to see how that makes them balanced. LMFAO I ignored this sorc on me and he killed me, anyone you ignore who's gunning for you will kill you. Only the gunslinger has no way to escape ANYTHING when your gunning for him.
slinger/sniper will demolish your tracer missle spam if you let him freecast

Hi!

Snipers are fine. If you fail with yours - reroll and don't waste my time with useless threads.

Bye!

I think different opinions on Sniper perfomance depend on your server. When my enemy team is bad I feel myself overpowered (well I think all classes do), but iusually my team is full of nobrain monkeys and the class becomes unplayable.

If you just pump damage it's a really easy class to play and it has problems. If you move around, in and out of cover, use all your CC, it's one of the more complex classes in the game and it gets way stronger.

This. Snipers are one of the best classes right now in the right hands imo. If the gunslinger is a perfect mirror I dont see why it wouldnt be the same for them.

As a Gunslinger with a Sharpshooter build I'll say this much, we are balanced for what we can do.

The people I've heard going on and on about how much the class sucks I've seen in combat trying to rush in and be some kinda solo god. That's not what those two classes are about and how you play those two classes. Both classes are about finding a good spot to drop into cover, and doing damage. I mean when I'm playing I'm doing the following, waiting for my teammates to engage whomever we are fighting. Finding a good spot on the ground, above, or even on a area like some stairs, dropping cover where I can have line of sight and fire.

My goal at this point is to support my teammates by taking down people they are fighting, or the other teams support like healers and the like. If I get someone coming after me? I have Hunker Down that keeps me from being getting hit with CC's, I have Pulse Detonator to knock a target back and by the way that can be deadly in some areas and due to people forgetting we have it. And Defense Screen is very handy as well.

One on one? I win some I lose some, if I can keep the other person from CCing me or doing a ton of damage I'll win. If I have a healer backing me up? I'll win almost every time, if not taking the person down to near death and most of the time that's if I'm already at or below half heath. More so then that I have had times with a good healer being able to take on two to three people and winning.

Really the things any Sharpshooter Gunslinger or Sniper has to keep up on is, keeping your gear in top shape. Learning to move and use the environment of the area your in to get into a good spot.

I really do not know where you guys get the Info that Gunslingers suck. Ive been playing Gunslinger since release and all i read on the forums is QQ about cover QQ about dmg being **** QQ about us being weak vs everything.

Firstly i can solo any other class, if i have to use all my cds i use all my Cds if i dont then good.

Secondly i Never fail to get top dmg in a WZ, you have to play smart and know who to kill.

Thirdly if you dont like cover Spec DF or Sab, cus they utilize cover to the very least, and for all those who say if u dont use cover alot in the DF or Sab spec your ****, well sorry thats total bull ****, how can u kite someone in cover? oh wait... u cant, our DmG is very hit and run, we have to build up our dots and then nuke for the full potential.

Make good use of ur shield guard and leg shot, Leg shot is one of the most fantastic moves in the game, it gives u 2 seconds free of dmg to set yourself up for a kill. Also Illegal Mods is such a fantastic CD for Gunslingers as alacrity is possibly one of the best stats for us.

End of the day if i bust all my CD's killing a marauder i know ive done well cus those ***** are hard.

Stop moaning and learn your class to its full potential and i gurantee it will pay off.
