Vaerah Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Shadow is kinda op because you can ignore the set rotation and spam your biggest damage dealing attacks immediately. Usually your target will be dead before you run out of energy. There are also lag bugs that exist which make stealth classes untargettable for a few seconds after they come out of stealth. Had a good laugh. Shadows are awesome against bad geared and/or terrible players. I always hope to get attacked by one of them, as they are squishy and die to a sneeze, unlike many other classes that can prolong a fight till they get help.

Leafy_Bug Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) Shadows actually counter you. That was before 30 stacks of stealth detect and 8k followthroughs on a bis conqueror shadow from a sniper. BioWare metrix at its best . Snipers are the only counter to snipers. Everything else is roadkill Edited August 30, 2013 by Leafy_Bug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikGW Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Sins/shadows are strong but you have abilities to deal with them. Marksman snipers are the easiest for sins to kill. Engineering snipers should never lose to a sin. Lethality and eng/leth hybrids are ok against sins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neoforcer Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Shadows actually counter you.

cashogy_reborn Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Only dps sorcerers can heal to full and they are designed to make everyone else pay for playing this game. Sorcs are the only source of Bioware profit due to this simple fact (currently we accept payments as subscriptions and cartel coins purchases). No way man, I saw this Merc do one cast and it was like BAM he went from almost dead to 100% health? He had to be hacking, thats just not possible. Mercs are just so OP, and the devs keep giving them more and more buffs! When are they going to nerf them so that sentinels and marauders actually have a chance to beat them? This sham of class balance has gone on long enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zunayson Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 When I play lowbie bracket on my sin, my win rate is like.... over 90%. I'm not exceptionally good, or anything.... Assassins are just that easy to play! For the record, I struggle with snipers unless I vanish after their KB (If I had mah teleport I wouldn't even need vanish ), in which case they're a cake walk anyways, snipers aren't as easy mode since 2.0, they're still easy, but their damage didn't go as much up as other class' did.

madtycoon Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 1v1s don't mean anything especially in warzones unless you're a fan of dice rolls deception sin gets on you for a few seconds with resilience and gets crits or pops recklessness when you don't have evasion/hunker and you're going to spike really low you need good rng during their deflection if you're going to face tank them or you hope they don't get crits and you out kite their defensives and kill them after at least that's what I've noticed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthSabreth Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I have no idea why the OP is saying this, I have a geared pvp sniper and I have no issue with taking players out. its either a joke thread or the OP needs a lot more practice.

You don't see snipers healing to full, that is why they are underpowered. dps means nothing when every other class specs besides smash and sniper can heal themselves to full nearly instantaneously.

Wow, the devs will probably take my post seriously too... I don't care anymore though I don't play this game. pvp is a lost cause in swtor /facepalm.

Snipers and Smashers can heal to full better than any other class. How? They kill you, then pop a kolto tank. Healed to full like a pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkXXIV Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Respawning is healing to full too true, sorcs have a monopoly on respawn heals. Sorcs should spawn with low health because of their overpowered healing capabilities while also being able to dps. Too op!
