no no ilum rocks guys you can ride around in circles looting crates! You guys are nuts if you dont think thats fun.

The lightning and the rock things are powerful to the point of herp and or derp though. If you like your play easy I suppose its a good way to go.

Yes it is..it is bearable if it is a one time thing to open a fight when it gets ridiculous is when you can actually just disappear mid-fight (while in combat) cause things aren't going your way.

Also they can vanish and wont reappear until the DOT ticks if the don't cleanse. It is enough to get untargeted and change position briefly.

Stealth makes a difference though snipers can't simply disappear when things go bad. Thats a major advantage.

meh...ya know it takes so damn long for ambush to cast it ought to do much more damage. Considering we are just sitting ducks doing nothing while it cranks..for what we have to do to get that off it ought to hit much harder than it does. It also should bypass more defenses than it does. To me cover provides some benefit..but the limitations it creates outweigh any benefits.

I salute you and declare I am a bad too! Hail my brother !

You know how easy it is to kill a sniper? You want to make them even more vulnerable?! Simu trash the class then.

Buff Snipers AND nerf mercs!

Stealthing to escape death is indeed lame....takes the risk out of risk vs. reward.

Temple...overwhelm the enemy with all kinds of DPS.

There are bugs with cover..yes. Are they able to be worked around..yes. My only beef with sniper is that I think cover in it's current form is more of an obstacle than a benefit. If cover would provide more benefit and weren't so easily broken (all you have to do is root a sniper to prevent him going into cover and thereby robbing him of most of his attacks) I might feel better about it. With that though I got 50 levels in sniper and I will stick with it.

I'm pretty hooked on Ensign Temple...I have just walked through quests with her fully geared out.

So are snipers...guess agents got shafted../shrugs

Whatever I dont think Smuggs are that bad..there are m,any very good ones I come across every day. Ops too...I am finding sniper( I am a sniper)/op combo can be very potent...

hmmm I still have a healthy respect for smugglers (both types). I don't know why you are disappointed I have encounter many very formidable ones. Granted I am a sniper so pretty much perfect target for a stealther... Still I don't think you are as bad as you think you are.

Thanks for letting me know this! I thought corrosive dart was only good for popping on stealthers!

I am a sniper, troopers in all their forms are tough as hell. What kind of gear you got?

Understand your point..but you have to consider that if one can run or stealth and escape death..they risk nothing. Messes up the whole risk vs. reward system these things are supposed to be based off of.

Like this on my server(not a PvP ruleset) too I rarely win WZs but two things to consider: 1. I Queue solo 2. I am not a very good PvPer (actually pretty bad) Could be it...but I dunno....I still get my bags though just a bit slower than others.

I'm, not very good and don't think snipers (which I play) are particularly powerful. But as a noob 50 I get gang F***** every time I wander too close the fray. What that tells me is that the enemy team wants me dead fast regardless of my noobitude. They go out of their way to kill me quickly. I don't feel like much of a threat (especially since my gear is not good PvP gear yet). But obviously it seems like a standard tactic to down the sniper first and fast. I am new to 50 PvP and am usually the only sniper or one of two snipers (rare) in a WZ. So I don't really know the verdict is still out for me...though I won't swear off buffs . I get my *** kicked but still get medals and comms..so I don't leave empty handed. On another note I think Alderaan is the most sniper friendly map....unless other snipers want to share some tactics with me on huttball and void.

Wanted to do Trooper on republic side..so agent on imp it was.

Smoked him with Ensign Temple. Sniper mostly MM.

Mine works successfully about 50% of the time in PvP...is this a bug or what?

If you took away any reward for participating in a WZ you would half the population (possibly more) of those who are PvPing. You would be left with leet "professional PvPers" then you would not have any players to stomp and feel superior about it. So I think less comms etc for losing is fine...
