Those others have Defense screen and hunker down. - Dirty Fighting would disagree with you. - Again dirty fighting would like to have a word. Them DoTs keep rolling. Also wouldn't ALL classes suffer LoS and range issues? Granted i dont play a slinger/sniper like a tank. I don't try to melee. I dont try going toe to toe with a sentinel. I fight on my terms. If i do find myself get *** rushed I take it in stride and toss my DoTs out as fast i can to make sure they feel me when im gone. I never assume that if focused i can walk away with no assistance, no class should. Give me some heals, maybe a nice vangaurd or gaurdian gaurding me, and theyll never make it past the acid pools. You do know that dirty fighting spec means we have ONLY melee stun? DOTs instantly dispel all other forms of CC. If leg shot lasted full 5 seconds snipers/slingers would be so much better and would actually have a role.
Where modern games go because of lazy, instant gratification "gimme nao" generation of players.

People need to stop throwing around how one class is better then another... other then the operatives getting 10k crits... php in this game is not competitive arena settings so no one knows what class is truly more powerful then another. You can't know what classes are better until you play 3v3 arena which is indubitably the most competitive pvp you could play in an mmo so far.

As a Sniper, from level 40-50 (pre-brackets), I always ended up in the top 4 in my warzone rankings. Since level 50-brackets, I've typically been in the upper half. I'd say I'm around average - I don't do amazing damage, but I don't suck. And I'd rather be in that position than where Operatives are, with everyone calling for a nerf. I personally feel like we do fine in warzones. If you're doing it right (which I admit, I only do about half the time), you should be staying far away and mostly just helping your teammates kill people - don't let the other team know where you are.

I just saw somebody say that a sniper has taken half his health with a single shot. You MUST be speaking about pre 1.1 when 50's and non 50's weren't seperated. The highest damage attack that a gunslinger has is Aimed Shot (and whatever the Sniper equivalent is). It deals about 2500 damage, and ignores 20% armor. If he crits, and has like 80% crit increase, that's still only 4500 damage (before armor mitigation). So unless you have like 8000-9000 health, you're lying. I want to follow up that, I don't think the class is as weak as all that. I used to, when I was straight gunslinger spec'ed. It's awful for PVP, you have to go DoTs, and still there is a very steep learning curve. We lack any form of escape mechanism what-so-ever. BUT, the dots also mitigate stealthing escapes, and if you're good you can stop force speed with leg shot. Once I respec'ed into a more mobile tree, where I have very little reliance on being in cover, or needing LoS for my damage, I did much better. (But then that's your main argument, isn't it? That LoS and cover based charge moves make the class suck, you're right, they're for PVE, they suck for PVP.)

I have found my niche to be bursting down cloth/medium armor targets who are at half health already, putting -20% armor on as many people as i can and slowing down enemies that are chasing the ball carrier. The role is support; Huttball is all about the force jumps/runs and snipers can support well by doing what i described above. Other maps have their opportunities like orbital strike on the door in assault so the bombs cant be placed/defused is useful. I do think that sniper should be buffed. And i think it will be for the simple reason that not many people are playing/choosing the class, and i think history has proven this, there is a need to keep the distribution of classes somewhat balanced. I would welcome a damage buff, the cc utility is completely useless in pve since any creature of importance is immune to it. Which means its just dps and its not that great at it, a 'sniper' specced in 'marksmanship' should do more damage than it does. Sorry, I do not want to offend you, but I hear that piss poor excuse over and over again. You are NOT a support class when e.g. sorcs and BHs outdamage you AND bring more to the table.

Everything melts this way. If hes far away, he can LOS, i'am not denying that. If hes near you, you just melt him away Best rotation ever? No! just an example for the immense Damage burst you can do on a single target. Edit: Getting a second chance for a speed shot is rare, i won't deny that, better make some other move, but one speed shot is nice for nearly fnihsing and sending a quick shot to finish. Except that cover and hunker down are off GCD. BMM and relics can be used in single GCD too and prior you enter the cover (on the move - when you aproach your target). Not to mention Hunker Down is not needed in usual rotation. So plain Charged Burst spamming is still more damage, more burst and less obvious then Speed Shot.

(something is seriously wrong here) On top of that, the stupid cover system is preventing you from doing damage because it happens alot that enemies just LOS or sprint away. Also every build that i tested now has energy problems up to the point where its just better to die and have full bar of energy rather then wait for energy to return and being useless for like 1 minute .. Competent Teams will also knock, choke, push you out of cover the whole time. Only viable build for PVP is lethality (the one with the dots) I have around 400 expertise and manage to deal around 250-300k damage in a WZ without going to cover a single time. LOS is less of a problem because of the dots ticking and you dont have to waste time and GCD for going to cover ... Only downside of the dots is that they instantly break flash grenade and legshot, so this two skills become useless once you have dotted people BW you should revisit this class and think over the cover system, thanks Try playing a Marauder
