Tpynaedka Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Guys i have damn brilliant idea. it's not a secret to anybody that Snipers suck at PVP now, so - they need a little buff. And i know what they need. The new ability ! HOLOPROECTION. Sniper places a mark on the ground for 5 minutes. When this ability activated second time sniper teleports to marked location and immediately finishes the active cooldowns of Entrench and Covered Escape. Discuss.

Gyronamics Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) The only buff snipers need is to learn to level up, put one point into ballistic dampers and reset them every time they run out. Which means physically standing up and sitting down, without using roll and without moving once someone consumes all your stacks. Entirely free massive defence buff and I hardly ever see other players making the effort. Sniper is hugely powerful when players cannot LOS because played properly they are obnoxiously tanky and difficult to do anything about the freecasting.

Smilinghawk Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Best remedy is snapshot utility, then you never forget to walk forward a step and re-entering cover for your insta cast snipe and also get to refresh the dampers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumquy Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 that would be okay, but i would rather see tech camouflage. works exactly like the mara force camouflage, but be tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can honestly see that working pretty well both lore wise and gameplay. Say add stealth at the end of roll for 4-5 seconds with a speed boost and call it reposition or something. Depending on how much they link to this I could have practically no impact on pve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khaos-theory Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I would rather they give us some surge back in MM and Engi instead of a new ability. And a camo like that seems OP to me... it would be awesome though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sumquy Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) my pve main is a sniper, and i honestly cannot think of anything we need there. imo, we are in decent shape, but a little more damage would be nice of course. for pvp, we desperately need a leave me alone button. some kind of temporary stealth or god bubble or lol your damage heals me to full is all we need to be viable in yolo.

This. Also compunded by several other classes having those abilities, so snipers get jumped because everyone knows there's an easy target that can't really get away and can't withstand heavy focus. Much easier than going for the sorc, the op or the PT where you know they will either escape at will or stay alive until backup arrives. The only real upsides of sniper/slinger pvp at the moment is that you get to feel somewhat unique in the sea of sorcs and PTs; and that it's essentially pvp in hard mode - the odds are always against you, and when you do well it's like you just won with one arm tied behind your back.
