Snipers need an urget nerf

meant to say that evasion and shield probe relatively suck as defensive abilities, the cc's are useful though...

like i mentioned before, tankassassins/sents rip me up because range means nothing to them when cloaked and i have no defense against their attacks...

mara's/sents i am starting to do better against cuz i'm learning what their cooldowns and limitations are... often though, there are so many in a wz, i can use my cooldowns to counter 1 but even if i win, i have nothing to counter the 2nd and 3rd... ah well...

You should probably do this for every class. Go check out how they work, what to interrupt, what to CC through, all that jazz, that's what i've done the whole time with my marauder.

And most marauders might get 4 seconds of you not damaging them but they're going to stand in that place you leg shot them.

i'll check when i get home what bonus healing i have... but ya, i could be totally wrong with how much is absorbed... i just went to that link and tried using the formula with that random 300 number lol...

either way, i agree... shield probe is garbage... it's like taking a placebo pill... it just makes me feel slightly better when i have it on, when in reality it probably is doing jack #2...

BW please make it 99% damage mitigation, i want to run through the huttball fires too!

Lethality can spec for a 6 seconds 30% snare, but otherwise it does not play nice with other Sniper CC.
Leth is built on a DoT foundation, and needs 2 DoTs for damage and often also DoTs on multiple targets for energy regen, meaning ticks once every ~1.5 seconds will break a root or mezz.

You may just be miscalculating.
It's 931 + 259% of your bonus healing, so for 300 bonus healing that is:
931 + 2.59*300 = 1677 (edit: LOL maths fail, I should add 931, not 900 - it's 1708)
Like I said, a PVP geared sniper in full WH with augs might end up around 250 (maybe 260) bonus healing.
The deceptive effect with shield probe is that the droid stays orbiting for the full 15 seconds, even long after the absorb has been spent.

bahahahha! good one bro! oh wait..your serious?

To the OP....

Ever hear of a thing known as LOS (line of sight). You know when you are being targeted. All you have to do is get out of the way. Use a wall or a rock, ANYTHING! After that they are just stationary saber magnets or getting back stabbed by OPS and SMUGGS.

The roots should only break on direct damage IMO.

I'd love to agree with you, but I know I'd be OP through the roof (as a Leth sniper) if that was the case.
I could land my whole set-up rotation before cover pulse root even wore off, and then still have 8 seconds of legshot up my sleeve to make distance.

lol'd

Application of dots should break it, just like it should interrupt casting on objectives but the dots ticking should not.
