Thanks! And yeah, the punching thing is kinda funny, there was a bugged mob the other day that I couldn't attack (said something about you can't see the target even though it was in the open) and Dr. L proceeded to punch it to death, which took quite a bit of time

Does anyone know a good place to find a cunning pistol for Lokin around lvl 35? It's really dumb that he dosen't start with one, and there aren't ever any on the AH. I'm still kinda stuck on taris so it dosen't give any gear for him, does the next planet give a pistol for him?

The drawback to using a rifle is that you can't use the off-hand shield generator, and a lot of her survivability is tied to that. If you are using here solely for DPS then yeah a rifle would be ideal, but as a tank she'd prolly be more squishy than she already is. Oh, and you may have more luck with this, but I have never seen a blast rifle that uses aim rather than cunning, so even though the rifle might have more base damage you might lose damage if it's not a +aim rifle, cause that is Kaliyo's main stat (she uses the same type of gear as a BH)

Here I was hoping they would fix the delay between entering cover, getting buffs then being able to use your abilities, but now there is a new bug involving natural cover. When I roll into natural cover and try to open with Snipe (instant with Snap Shot talent) it animates and dosen't work. Prior to the patch this would happen if you tried to use it too quickly after entering cover, now repeated use just repeats the animation and nothing continues to happen. Another nail in the coffin for natural cover I guess...crouch in place still works fine. I always liked natural cover too, cause with timing and patience you could avoid a lot of damage and it added a unique aspect to this class. Now it seems like we're just a ranged turret who get 20% extra dodge. Pretty pathetic class mechanic if you ask me.

Wow, you have no idea how happy you just made me. I came to the forums wondering why PvP was so horribly laggy and found your thread, and with those simple changes warzones are playable. Thank you so much! Anyone else found tips on making Warzones run faster? If something this simple can alter it so dramatically then there may even be other things that would make it run as smooth as wow does on my comp!

Ah, thank you for the reply. I guess I just have to get used to it. Now that I think about it, earlier on before I started getting used to the class I did wait for a bit when entering cover before doing anything, I'd gotten faster with it and thats when I noticed it. Makes sense now, even if it's really annoying =\

Yeah it does go away out of cover. I thought the same thing when I read over those two talents, woulda been cool synergy. But it's not the case unfortunately =\

Edit: apparently editing my other thread double posted in this one? Hey I found a Sniper bug on the forums!

Abilities used right after entering cover bug out, the animation/cast time go off but nothing happens, no damage is done and usually the CDs aren't used. Examples: Instant Snipe via the Snap Shot talent (the buff stays up too, it just wastes a GCD, making this talent useless case I could have just casted it in that time..) Ambush going off but not doing anything. Explosive probe, same thing. This seems to have happened only since the last patch for me, everything worked right after entering cover before. If anyone else has experienced this please respond, I'm hoping to get more info. I've already started lvling an OP cause it's extremely frustrating to play around.

Yeah I thought at first that it was miss chance, but I've been watching the floating damage closely and I see when I do miss. With this bug there is no message or indication that anything happened for me, just the animation and wasted time. My new agent just got frag grenade and trying to use that right after going into cover does the same exact thing, I'm starting to think it's just a cover bug, seems like any ability used immediately after entering cover will not got off. This is hardly a minor bug considering a sniper is all about entering and exiting cover frequently.

I just started a new IA and I'm noticing even casted snipe seems to backfire sometimes too. It might have to do with going into combat, but idk why it's doing this. Does anyone have suggestions or is it just me that's getting these bugs?

It's not the lvl of difficulty in the planet that I'm having trouble with, when my abilities work I actually do A LOT of damage, I can take silver mobs down in the time its takes my marauder to down a reg, mostly due to the fact that I've been consistently upgrading my gear and have an orange sniper rifle that I upgrade before anything else. But this spec is SO BUGGY, my abilities just haven't been working, and kaliyo drops if you sit there and don't dps for a good 4-5 seconds cause your abilities dont work. ATM I think she's even out damaging me most fights cause I can't get anything off, snap shot just plain dosen't work and ambush will cast then do nothing. It's incredibly frustrating cause when they do work it's a joy to lvl.

I have my sniper at 26 on tatooine and I've been having some issues getting abilities off. The weird thing is that before the latest patch these bugs only happened occasionally, now they happen every pull. 1st Issue: Snap shot not going off right. When I go into cover during or before combat in order to get off the instant snipe I get the buff and my character does the animation+the snipe sound goes off but NOTHING HAPPENS. The buff even stays up, this adds a whole GCD to the damage making the talent completely worthless right now. This never happened when I first got the talent and I loved using it, counting the ICD off in my head to rotate instant snipes is fun while lvling. 2nd Issue: Ambush. Similar to the snipe problem but with ambush it will cast and the animation goes off but again, no damage happens and the CD dosen't go off. Waste of 2.5/1.5 seconds, depending on if I got a snipe crit. It is only made worse when I try to chain it with an instant dmg ability like an instant snipe (and sometimes issue 1 happens too, making me do NO DAMAGE) or explosive probe. I have enjoyed the lvling and the story so far, I even started getting used to cover, even though that could use work too. This makes this class unplayable. I might roll Op just cause I love the IA lore so much. As a real example, an encounter would go like this: Laze target, drop into cover, snipe. snipe animation goes off but nothing happens, spamming snipe it goes off after the GCD that triggered for no reason. Run to the target, debilitate, drop into cover within 10 m for the knockback, ambush. Cast goes off, nothing happens. Re-cast. NOW ambush works. This is retarded. Has anyone else had these problems? It's pretty game breaking for me. I run at 60 FPS and have an average of 25-32 MS latency, so don't try to pin it on my comp. EDIT: It is the first ability used after entering cover. I've tested this a lot and found this to be the case. After that ability ***** up it works after, and combat goes smoothly from there. But EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I enter cover this happens. I did a heroic today with another sniper and asked him about it and he says it happens to him to, so it's not just me. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

Bumpin this thread so more people can see the pwnage. Makes me look forward to 50 on my Sniper. Even at 24 I came in top dmg a couple times just keepin people off the ball carrier in Hutt Ball

Haha, my Kaliyo has the same dumb looking hat. My guy isn't finished yet but I've got the orange modable jacket from BT, I'm keeping this thing all the way up cause it looks awesome!
