Sharpshooter is arguably the best burst class in team ranked. Giving them buffs would be absurd.

You want to fix gunslingers? Change solo ranked so that it requires trinity. Boom gunslinger instantly strong.

This, basically. On my gunslinger, getting a healer or tank in 4v4 makes me feel extremely viable.

what if covered escape worked while ccd, and maybe a small short buff to defense? would it make a huge difference?

I just want my double roll back for engineering. Even if they just added it to evacuate by making Evasion reset the cooldown of Covered Escape (and maybe Entrench) I would be happy.
If war is peace, but peace is a lie, does that make war a lie also?

Engineering Sniper is quite fun now, thank you
Also, nerf operatives

Yes, please buff them!

I already have 3 snipers/slingers and I think they are arguably already OP, but what the heck, buff us more.

What you guys don't realize is that snipers have been sliding under the radar for a while now because we just don't get played as much and people keep repeating that the class is not viable. But don't be fooled, snipers are a very capable class both in MM and in Virulence, and any buff would most likely break it and make it fotm.

The good snipers are probably gonna stay quiet and ride this out for as long as possible.

Unless you're talking about engineering, in which case, yes some adjustments would be ok.

Sharpshooter is a spec, not a class. The other two specs are total dogsh*t in pvp.

1- bioware's work in PvP is to make balance for ranked, especially solo Q ranked wich is the most playable.

2- they buff(ed) the weakest class and/or nerf(ed) the OP class.

3- since 3 seasons sniper/gunslinger are the less performers in the leaderboard (just check)

--> BUFF sniper/gunslinger

just facts.

and stop with the ambush OP damage lol it's not 15-18k, but 11-13k against a PvP gear player, and for 1.5sec/2sec cast.

many classes can do more in 1.5sec/2sec...(just an example tracer missile instant+heatseeker missle for mercenaries..much better)

*tear for DF Gunslinger - which is still fun in mids for as long as that lasts - *shakes fist at 12x XP while simultaneously refusing to use that gree thingy.

I'm cool with this. I would still like to see the dot specs (outside of inquis) get better dot spread mechanics or given better burst + resource managment...just so they can be effective in games with heals and tanks. but yeah. it's time. really. what was it they said in Field of Dreams? build it and they will come? well require trinity and the tanks will come.
