Holy crap....so snipers shouldn't even be in the same league as gunslingers...aggravating this information is.

As if Vexo's threads don't always go offtopic xP

I understand that, but the hybrid seems to expend even more energy than what I currently do. Assuming this is 2/16/23. So I suppose the cluster bombs help with energy regen too...hmm.

waaaait a minute...he doesn't use weakening blast...and since he never does weak bleeds...I'm going to guess he dropped lingering toxins too...and that would explain how he has both interrogation probe and cluster bombs...i'm going to guess the 2 points I have in steady shots moves to stroke of genius...dammit...I'm going to need more buttons on my keyboard for this... And I must do my rotation differently than you guys...like vastly differently...my energy never caps during ambush unless I have adrenaline probe active. Shatter->Dart->Grenade->Target Acquired+Weakening Blast->Cull->Series of Shots->Ambush->Cull->Explosive->Rifle->Dart->Grenade->Weakening Blast->Cull->Orbital Strike->Ambush/Series of Shots->Cull->Adrenaline Probe->Repeat-ish Which after a quick dummy test has resulted in not as nice numbers so...hrmph... EDIT: And I suppose for reference I sit at 400 crit rating and 2051 cunning :\

Holy hell he misses a lot....though I suppose that's that gunslinger offhand eh? hrm...uses snipe often-ish...has interrogation probe...maintains shatter...prevents dots from ever becoming weak...has the extra explosives after explosive probe blows...interesting...have no idea what the sniper equivalent of burning force is...unless that's the dread guard relic...did quite a large number of rifle shots...hrm... Might have to respec...might need to see if I can switch out a rifle shot for a snipe some times...but I don't think I can...hrm...

Well I can expect to never rank on horror simply due to our strategy. 9 Confirmed on dread guard. 11 Confirmed on operator. Kephess we've confirmed that my guild has been doing it wrong so we'll see next week. 4 Confirmed on TFB. 3 Confirmed on Z&T. 1 Confirmed on Tanks. If that's "many" then...sure.

We were told that you need 4 people at ranged. If it's only 2 that's easy to change for the future. I know this. I've spent so long perfecting my rotation without the use of orbital strike in single target situations that I'm trying to figure out the proper placement for it and trying to break my bad habit of where I used it prior when I did(which is what causes the energy problems). It's coming with time. I also can't be that damned bad if there are only 2 other snipers ahead of me on some fights >.>

4 people have to kite on kephess final phase as far as I'm aware, and we put both tanks and the ranged outside(which I'm ranged xP). For writhing horror, you should check out what an assassin tank can make happen on that fight. We get Jealous Male and no little adds, then Jealous Male and a set of adds, then a Jealous Male and no little adds(assuming boss is still alive by this point). As to where I stand... Writhing Horror: -113 DPS Dread Guard: -36 DPS Operator IX: -93 DPS Kephess the Undying: -223 DPS Terror From Beyond: -10 DPS Zorn & Toth: #13 Firebrand & Stormcaller: -158 DPS All negative is how far out of top 50. And I know I still need to tighten up a few things(still find myself energy starved for example)...and maybe need to start considering using adrenals...maybe get that dread guard relic....and making sure I have a stim active xP...and better stims at that oh well /shrug

Yea I wish I could sit on bosses and have the fights tailored to myself instead of having to do all the mechanics work. Btw, we only have 1 set of adds on writhing horror, that's where "freighter flyby"(Orbital Strike) is. Then orb duty and kite duty for kephess. Add duty on tfb...I'm just not in a position to push for top dps /shrug Closest position I have is on Dread Guard which I fell out from top 50 by about 40 dps this week.

Marauders... /spit

OpsElite update. Well we finally got off our asses again. Tanks Codex Tanks Kill(No you're not allowed to see anything) Vorgath Codex Vorgath Kill Keph-****. Our asses stopped moving. Maybe next week /shrug Also at the rate the Z&T video is getting made, I might just release an enormous all of denova video lol

Ops Elite News. Zorn and Toth Nightmare mode downed. Kill Screen Codex Screen Tanks need to stop insta agroing and firing at dispeller.

This thread is amusing. PvPers claiming PvE is easy, but have done limited amounts of it. PvEers claiming PvP is easy, but have done limited amounts of it. And I would assume like I can about any other game that has both pve and pvp environments, that if any of you excel in one area, you probably either downright suck, or do just barely well enough to get by in the other. Protip: Neither PvP nor PvE is very complicated in this game, with striving to be the very best you can be at both only being slightly more complicated, but still not very hard to accomplish.

Ops Elite News. Just stopping by to post about the video that I finally got around to making. Woo! 12 hours of footage to sift through! /wrist

Ops Elite News. TFB has been added to the dead list. The remnant because my ******* forgot to screen as he died The Codex Video Soon. So when's nightmare come out again? xP
