exphryl Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) I did find that a bit odd when i read the notes. Snipers that play well easily can put out some of the most amazing damage in a Warzone. (I think it's the fact though it feels like most Snipers can NOT play their class properly....it's one of the few classes I can tell 100% when going up against if they have an idea on how to use their cooldowns etc compared to other classes) Oh well, Every class deserves their time in the sun as being the OP one in warzones though.

Ich_Bin Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I am surprised about this, too. Snipers were already one of the best classes in this game when played correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sookster Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 That's the BOLSTER system for you, lower levels has their damage, surge, armor rating and some other stats increased to compensate the lack of abilities and talent points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every skilled player knows that marksman sniper scale awefull At level 50 against geared players. And thats because of the class mechanics. This is a pure pve buff due to the fact that over 50 different snipers posted combat logs prooving that marksman were about 1300 dps, when other DD were at 1500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexster Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Love how all these complaints are, 'A well played player. . . . . .' Eventually BW is gonna have to go door to door, putting arrows in people's knees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathid Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I had a Sniper do easily over 8k in one hit on me two days ago,i have no clue about the class but i have never droppped from one hit before like that,i wish i could of seen the number but i know i was above half health and my full health is 16,677 all BM and one War Hero piece,i know he was very well geared and he might have just had a huge crit or something but again i have never seen this done or had this done to me before.

Goldenstar Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) The buff was to fix marks damage relative to other pure DD classes in endgame ops. It's a nice change, but it's only 5% across the board, it's nowhere near gamebreaking, ewspecially considering snipers have none of the massively powerful defensive CD which make maras (the other massive damage class) so dangerous.

Khoraji Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 one spiner lvl 20 pvp isn't balanced for 10-49 bracket.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldenstar Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Tell that to a DPS Operative. DPS operatives have one defensive cooldown (which is useless in PvP) and a combot break stealth skill (which is on a 3s cooldown. Snipers have only the defensive cooldown (evasion) and cover. If you think that's lots of defense you've never played a sin, mara, jug, sorc, or powertech >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dzhokhar Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I had a Sniper do easily over 8k in one hit on me two days ago It probably wasn't really 1 hit. Explosive Probe+Ambush, both crits, with appropriate Adrenals, and possibly an armor debuff on the target could hit for a combined 8k+ all at once, but it's not really "one hit" the way some other classes can hit for 8k in a single hit. In my personal experience with my Sniper from 10-37, I don't think this buff was necessary. As for issues with scaling at 50, a flat 5% buff doesn't really help scaling, so Snipers will likely fall behind again the next time a new tier of gear is released.

DEuZZ Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 lol yeah clearly bioware don't know what they doing...

No wonder i'm leaving this game!!!!!!!!!! They keep buffing strong classes, i'm 100% sure they have NO clue whats going on in pvp. What about nerf marauders? noooooo they are "fine", "sure".

svartalfimposter Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I am very unimpressed with the sniper boost. I am regularly seeing 4 or more snipers trying it out in PvP. It's not such a bad situation, but they do generally seem slightly more powerful than my BH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try 5% to four abilities, only two of which are commonly used by builds other than deep MM. It was a PvE buff that will have next to no impact on PvP play.

Or maybe you had your PvE gear on in WZ. Fact is that 5% boost is nothing much. it is 5% boost to base (white!) damage which may translate to 7-9% of crit dmg (also white) boost. So in best case scenario I can hit ppl for lil over 4k in WZ (without relic/adrenals popped) and usually I hit for no more than 2,5k (many times much much less). People act as if Snipers/GS got 50% boost and turned all their attacks into Force ones lol. Also, if I recall correctly, Sniper/GS (MM/SS spec mind you as this boost is mainly for this tree) are THE LEAST played classes so chances are you may pop on one of those 1 out of 30 WZs.

hadoken Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 It is a change to try to help boost the marksman dps up to lethality level, and it still falls short (lethality is more like 15% ahead). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
