Monterone Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Sniper for sure... no better ranged burst. I'd also take a hybrid dps sorc for AoE pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kweassa Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 It really depends on how strong your team is in the support/utilities sense. I would take in sorc/sages if the team looks like it could benefit from utilities to go along with ranged firepower. Sorcs/sages can bring on the table (1) constant ranged-interrupt/power lock, (2) aggressive AoE KB, (3) additional protection (4) sub-heal support (....yes, in times of dire peril, heals from even DPS sorcs/sages can still save a few lives until your team gets their play together).. (5) emergency pull-out.. etc etc.. However, if your already has enough utilities, in that case gunslingers and snipers. Don't need anything else, just pure, goddarned firepower strikes the best.

I'm sorry. But sniper brings much more to the table than a Sorcerer/Sage. Sniper has a 360 Degree AOE root on knockbackSniper has a flashbang which is a much more effective form of CC than anything the sorcerer hasSnipers leg (root) shot can be practically spammedSniper has interrupt/leap/CC immunity when using entrenchSniper plasma probe can be used to prevent caps even after death Edited May 25, 2013 by Yeochins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it's been changed to that recently, though I'm positive it was doing that on my Sniper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Svii Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Sage/Commando has one distinct advantage over Sniper: Field respec to healer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
