Bioware it's time to NERF Snipers/Gunslinger. All read please.

My toon with the highest Valor is a Gunslinger (85 or so). Right now, 1.7, is a pretty balanced class but the problem is that other ACs like Smashmonkeys/ bubblestun are NOT and imo, a Sniper right now is a easy kill for the most of the classes due 3 things:

 

1. Most of Snipersin PvP are Marskman which even hitting hard, is the easiest Sniper build to kill if you know the class.

2. Selfhealing is none or ridiculous and CANT cleanse dots.

3. The cover thing is very static.

 

For 2.0 BW has given the class 2 "must have" things:

1. The rolling thing

2. Dodge CLEANS dot

 

Sniper/Gunslinger deserve both if they wanna compete in PvP. Here they listened teh community. However, BW should have nerfed Entrench (20 secs CC inmune) and i said this in the PTS forums.

 

Cover system (no leaps or interrupts) + rolling (20 sec cooldown) + autocleanse + Entrench + rest of defensive abilities will make Snipers/ GSs too much powerful.

 

Nerf Entrench and class will be fine.

If 2.0 really does become sniper fotm, I predict a lot of people taking the left tree for Diversion, so they can knock other snipers out of cover. That ability even works through entrench!

[Taerrik]

Smash will still reign as fotm because

 

1) best aoe in the game

2) this game has so many cluster points that people tend to ball up

3) its easy

4) sniper has more than 3 buttons to press to play well

yes, which is absolutely obnoxious

The only issue I have is that those roots dont give resolve. Its annoying to suit there stunted for 8 seconds, but I think its more annoying to sit there rooted and not even get any resolve.

Thank You!
