My name is Kale Andran, and I am an Imperial Sniper, and I disapprove this message. Im lvl 50, and I kick ***. /thread

The problem is operatives and scoundrels.

Indeed. Operatives and Scoundrels need to be tuned down.

*****Online****** Im streaming live sniper pvp with my marksman build Imperial Agent. Ive got a few pieces of champion gear and a little centurion rank 31 so far. If your wondering how a sniper performs in pvp or just want to enjoy some live streaming with a sniper then take a peek. I'll also try to answer questions concerning the class and its performance in PvP hoping to eliminate some of those stupid rumors on the forums about the sniper. http://www.livestream.com/palletv?t=249837

Im a lvl 50 sniper and played so since launch. Story is amazing, gameplay is amazing, the entire Sniper class is amazing. I dont see why you feel sorry for me, because I can pretty much kill any class 1v1, and if I dont then its either because my equipment is worse or that the opponent is better than me. I dont feel less usefull just because I cant join into the mindless jump because when you use your abilities, you dont need to face your targets the same way meele classes have to. My screen just has to see the opponent, i target him and press my button and my character will automaticly face him and shoot. So all the Jedi's jumping around isint helping them and sometimes they miss a few hits because of it, which in turn weakens them. As a Sniper I got - everything - i need to take down any class in this game. All I can admit is that Healing specced Commandos and Consulars generally are a pain to take down but far from impossible. Cover could be placed a little faster when hitting the button, but honestly I dont feel disadvantaged, and if the cover is slow to get up, its either server lag or your own internet thats delaying. This class is in -my- opinion a most viable, balanced and pretty bad *** class. Besides killing Jedi with a sniper rifle is so much more satisfactory.

Ive also rolled a few Republic characters to play another class and basicly the republic quests. Gotta say I feel much more at home with the Empire than I do with the Republic which is probably normal. I also prefere the british accents compared to american accents.

Gotta agree that it sucks to play against premades. Unless we kick their asses anyway I just leave the warzone because it is simply not worth it. Beta PvP was fun because everyone played casually or was to some degree a n00b, which ment that it could be challenging but not overwhelming which was fun. But thats how it always is sadly in MMO's. Hardcore no lifers play without sleeping and exploitng to get the highest lvl gear then group up into premades to kick unorganized players asses who just want to have fun.

I miss an Imperial Trooper too, mainly for story reasons and for the awesome armour.

Ive considered rolling a Sage to heal. However how do you fare in 1v1 situations? I know you are a healer, but does that mean your helpless by yourself?

Exactly. Well historicaly the Empire won and the Republic lost, so it makes sense that Empire is better and will win again ;P

As Empire i also tend to win more than i loose. Dont know why but it cant be the classes since they are essentially two mirrors. I think its the type of players on the two teams. The more hardcore and skilled players must choose Empire, while the softcore and the casual not-so-skilled players choose Republic

GTX580 - 120 dps in lone areas, 100 in crowded areas - oh yea

Its hard to roleplay something else than your character since the story telling and the voice of bioware characters make it hard to imagine your character being anything else xD

Imperial Agent was my first character, my main character and im sniper. Gotta say I feel i got all the gadgets for every encounter against anyone. Being sniper gives you huge potential to turn the tide in battle, by targeting the weakned enemy then burst damage him to death before a healer can do his job.
