Even so - Dart -> CG -> legshot -> run to 30m, time probe+ambush to hit ~ 8 second mark-> cull -> CG (snare) -> dart -> Gap closed on foot -> Cover pulse -> make 2 seconds of space -> ambush -> Leg shot -> 30m, etc.
Obviously this is oversimplified and presumes the target is slightly retarded, but you could get very close to this kind of mileage on any Melee depending on cooldowns, just apply DoTs before roots and you're golden (sniper DoTs are 18 - 30 seconds depending on Leth spec)
As it is, if I get to start a fight at 30+m it takes a very good melee player blowing a few cooldowns to stand a chance against me, I find this to be fair because if the fight starts at ~4m I'm the one that has to work really hard.
But if you give me an extra ~16 seconds of root/mezz in any given fight, it's a seriously busted system tipped heavily in my favour.

since marauders and snipers are the DPS classes with no heals, we will gladly also take the 6 sec 99% damage immunity and stealth ability to make us OP...

ah you're rolling a sniper now... excellent!
don't cry if you find you're not in god mode like you expected...
THIS

Anyone who hasn't truely played a sniper/gunslinger yet will something think they are, could, would be a sweet class to play. Until they play one...

GS was/is my first and still my main. I have one of everything else or it's mirror.
I can tell you this. My GS is still my hardest character to play...but I'm glad as H.E. Double Hockey Sticks! he was my first char! Everything...literally EVERYONE of my alts feels like I'm in godmode compared to my GS! And my Powertech...haha forget it. I just own on him after knowing the ins and out of survivability I learned from my Gunslinger!

Love the GS/Sniper class to death...but /gunslingerlove is needed

Snipers are the worst class in the game.

Snipers need massive buffs.
I really enjoy being able to refer to individual players as "a Republic" or "an Empire" respectively

Heh, still, you know the world has not gone completely mad when someone posts a "Nerf snipers" thread, and the overwhelming community response is "LOLWHUT?"

Cereal ppl. L2P

Snipers/Gunslingers do have an ability that make them immune to CC, but they melt easy if you get a tank in their face and FF them after the heals are dead.

Then buff Mercenaries. TY.
Best post ever. Also sums up about 70% of the posts here except last line needs to read buff - (insert class I play here)

Where are you getting this 8 seconds from? It lasts up to 5 and breaks on damage after 2...
