Kevoisier Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Lol Snipers/Gunslingers aren't the least feared.. how many of you seriously leave them till last to kill in a multi class fight? If you do then you are ****, they have huge damage and will wipe your team if you leave them till last. If they are any good that is. I love when people ignore me so so much. On the other hand if they don't I'm pretty dead pretty fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJsChaos Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I definately dont agree snipers/ gunslinger belong at the bottom of the list . i mean look at the damage this dude can put out: http://i.imgur.com/YQNjf.jpg I'm guessing the agent at the top is not a Sniper?

Idiots Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Most feared? Sorcerers/Sages. Great damage, most CC/Knockbacks/Stuns out of all classes, Shields, Heals, Spring, everything. Least feared? Sentinals/Marauders. I never seen any and when I do they tend to die a lot and not accomplish anything. you must play with noobs. a good mara will decimate anyone.

Only 40 kills with that much damage? Sniper looks either lethality spec or engineering spec with probably lots of AOE damage to pad the meters. It's one thing to put out amazing amounts of damage, it's another to actually provide effective burst damage where it counts, especially in PvP. You just proved the Sniper/Gunslinger class is lacking in PvP and when rated WZ's come out, few of the top teams will bring them in their current state.

Ich_Bin Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Sorcerer / Sage Juggernaut / Guardian Mercenary / Commando Powertech / Vanguard Marauder / Sentinel Assassin / Shadow Operative / Scoundrel Sniper / Gunslinger I would have put Op/Scoundrel a few spots higher on the list if they weren't the weakest class in Huttball right now.

Wassawp Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Seeing how much ppl are playing sorc/sage, and that only a few people are fearing snipers... well. That's strange. Cuz any decent marksman sniper or gunslinger can kill a sorc/sage in less than 5s. But i agree that the sniper/gs has almost 0 survivability once focused by two or more people, except if they stack like dumbs and get flashed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sookster Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) I love when people ignore me so so much. On the other hand if they don't I'm pretty dead pretty fast On my merc or PT, I like to drop DFA on sniper/slingers- 99% of the time they see the logo on the ground then freak out and get up out of cover which makes them easier to kill. On my operative, most sniper/slingers place that debuff on me (forget what it's called), I proceed to wipe it and LOS them, vanish and greet them with a HS/backstab. IMO it's either marauder/sentinal or sniper/slinger that takes the most skill to play. The least is obviously sorc/sage.

Celebrus Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Sniper looks either lethality spec or engineering spec with probably lots of AOE damage to pad the meters. It's one thing to put out amazing amounts of damage, it's another to actually provide effective burst damage where it counts, especially in PvP. This is exactly the case. Snipers end the round with a ton of AoE damage and nobody killed. We're good at slowing the ball carrier, dropping armor so that better classes can kill people, and being easy targets for operatives.

Kurfer Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Say that after you try some PVP here. I say that... The way I play my assassin I would list them as #1 in every list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're good at slowing the ball carrier, dropping armor so that better classes can kill people, and being easy targets for operatives. I'll take it over the squishy MM spec that kills a few lone n00bs not in any position to do anything anyway. lethality can still output 450-550k dmg warzones...regardless of how that damage is spread i'll take it anyday over some average MM dude dropping 190k total damage with a few solo kills because he managed to find a few confused n00bs with **** gear. Not sure why newbies complain about high damage, it's still 500k dmg that had to be healed...that's a considerable amount. If you factor in opportunity cost that healers are using to heal it while not healing other people being bursted down ill take it.

Fidopro Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 can someone go through the entire thread and summarize the data? lol after briefly scrolling through a bunch of pages it seems pretty universal that the worst class is between ops / snipers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnugthreeonefive Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Snipers sorely lack utility. Yes, they can do some dmg, and yes it's somewhat handy to be immune from charge/grapple in cover, but they're just not scary or annoying in any way. The sorc has so much going for him re. utility. Atleast they're squishy. Sorc & tank assasin team is killing us in huttball on my server. But atleast I'm thoroughly annoying them with my Powertech half the time =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GemG Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) Best to worst in competitive play (IMO): Marauder / Sentinel Powertech / Vanguard Assassin / Shadow Sorcerer / Sage Mercenary / Commando Juggernaut / Guardian Operative / Scoundrel Sniper / Gunslinger But! Operative healers come in first in terms of healing for PvP. Edited March 2, 2012 by GemG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedikillar Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) whats a class thats usually pretty bad in pvp, but if played well can do good? looks to me like a lot of people are describing gunslinger that way, also guardians. operatives seems to be people dont think they can even do anything at all from what i gather. just wondering cus i like a challenge. melee ranged whatever i dont discriminate.

Easpeak Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Most useless class is commando/mercenary - they do OK as healers but they do not bring anything specials to the table - everything they can do, another class can do better. There are some great commando players out there but they would be a lot more efficient with a different class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
