  1. Yes. It is also good when someone's trying to cap turret console while hiding behind it in Alderaan since you don't need to have clear LoS. Or you could effectively prevent disarm in Voidstar. As for the overall damage... it's rather good if your opponents are not moving out of area (they are trying to disarm bomb for example).
  2. It would be nice to replace Rapid Fire by such talent. Current RF is crap for 31 points. Sniper Volley is also a good choice since it is completely useless atm.
  3. Did any1 participate? Were there any questions about sniper changes in 1.2?
  4. MM/eng hybrid is absolutely better then 31 MM both in theory and practice. Can't definitely say for other variants, but I tend to agree that now hybrid builds are better. 31 point sniper talents are crap. Let's see what they'll implement in 1.2
  5. Wrong. Marauder, rage juggernaut and firebug powertech can kill faster.
  6. Again, that's your theory. He stated he did not use a lot of aoe. There was also screenshot from sage with 1kk dmg in that thread. Did he do the same? And we have yet to see if Sn/GS could beat the number.
  7. That's just your theory. One of the sorcs who did 1kk claimed he didn't do a lot of aoe attacks. He also claimed he has a sniper and sniper isn't as good in dmg while having much less mobility. The highest screenshot I've seen from Sn/GS was about 800k dmg. So until there will be at least the same 1kk from Sn/GS, sniper << sorc.
  8. There are screenshots from sorcs with 1kk dmg. Your 400-500k are pathetic for a pure dps class.
  9. smugglers/agents are kinda rare on my server. There are 1 other Bm sniper and 1 BM GS left. They are doing better than average player but loosing to other well-played ACs. Seen 2 or 3 fresh snipers recently, they're so dam bad... There are like 3-4 operatives and 2-3 scoundrels doing wzs, most of them are healers. I've recently faced our top operative 1 on 1. He's infilcting quite high damage to my sniper but nothing really special. Good marauder can bring my hp down much quicker. Playing other class is optimal solution atm.
  10. 4k non-crit ambush is impossible. Modded full BM gear + rakata stim+ rakata power adrenal + BM power relic can give you about 3600-3700 maximum base ambush damage. You can get +12.6% pvp damage at max from BM gear which is compensated by light armor even with shatter shot. So, if your target is not naked...
  11. I saw solo ranking in Bloodline champions. It was based on w/l ratio and it was influenced by series of wins/losses. Won't work in SWTOR since there were 3v3 or 2v2 fights in BLC. 8v8 makes your impact not so noticeable. However if it would be based on the other metrics: inflicted/guarded/healed dmg, interrupts, ball carrier kill, capping turret, placing/defusing bomb, pass/score in a successful goal run, etc. -- it might work fine.
  12. Well, Why don't you help us if you don't mind?
  13. And I was wondering where's Gaidax...
  14. So far there were only nerfs: 1) SF water fix --> Sn/GS is the ONLY class strict to dmg medals. 2) Surge nerf --> Sn/GS nerfed more due to having highest crit chance. 3) DoT nerf --> bb to leth/DF utility. I'm not shure if other classes will suffer less though. There was no response from BW on multiple Sn/GS qq threads and I don't think they'll have a closer look at the class any time soon since now they have to stop that overall population decrease. So for now reroll is a smart choice. Leveling is fast, valor and BM token grind will be much easier after the next patch. Yes, few people (very few) are doing good as a Sn/GS especially when healed and guarded. But that's despite the class quality, not thanks to. Most likely they'll do better with other AC.
  15. There are very few snipers on my server. And looking at their performance I'd never take any of them (well, except myself ) to the team unless I have no choice.
  16. OP is right. Giving away top tier so easily isn't a good idea. I don't know if you heard about Bloodline Champions. It was a nice and balanced pvp game. Nearly dead now. Why? No long term carrot on a stick. There should always be one in MMO or people get bored quickly.
  17. Was there any repsonse from BW about thier opinion about the current state of sniper/gs?
  18. I also switched from full MM (31/7/3) to 23/16/2. Feels good. Dps is much better. Burst (ambush+EP) is also better. Having slowing probe is very nice (+ it makes decent damage). Did 544k dmg in huttball today with 70/0 k/d ratio. But I was lucky to have 3 good healers on my side.
  19. Dead can't get the ball or cap the turret. Isn't keeping them dead a good and pleasant way to win? I'm loving it. Try controlling the areas and dispersing packs as a sorc, shutting down healers as a mara or carring the ball as a tank-sin. You'll be surprised. What could I possibly know playing sniper since early access? I like the class too. It's something fresh in MMO. And everyone got used to destroying snipers with ease, so resistance is not expected. Oh? I thaught it was you who generated tons of flood to prove that your point is the only viable and those who disagree are mentally ill?
  20. Agreed. And it seems like those protecting "great sniper utility" are just trying to justify their poor damage dealing.
  21. 1000/1000 for 1 BM comm is reasonable price, I like the idea. 2 those complaining about grind: 1) As it was already stated, the dailies aren't removed. 2) You know nothing of grind. A lot of people already stopped playing since there was nothing left to farm for them.
