Tectonic Fusion 972	Posted - 2014.01.17 02:18:00 - [1] - Quote I miss those days in chromosome. It took 2-4 hits to kill most people with complex damage mods. Now it takes over 3 with a prototype. I am almost at proto level now, but because I bought like 300 charged and 500 ishkune sniper rifles. Might as well use them. Solo Player Squad status: Locked
Xocoyol Zaraoul Superior Genetics 1823	Posted - 2014.01.17 02:23:00 - [2] - Quote They still are for me, though I have Prof III and Complex D-mods. Only the tankiest of the tanks can take a lot of hits, and those suckers are slow more often then not due to stacked armor plates. The average fellow I do just fine shrugs Then again, most of the times I snipe it's because some dipshit from a tower sniped my minnie assault so I respawn just to kill the idiot... But still, when I'm feeling lazy and just snipe I still do fine. Closed Beta Vet Reading the forums detracts from overall enjoyment of the game
Denn Maell PIanet Express Canis Eliminatus Operatives 69	Posted - 2014.01.17 02:24:00 - [3] - Quote Are you talking STD or MLT? Because I noticed that the sway on MLT is garbage, but that disappears if I replace it on my sniper starter fit with the base model. I have noticed that with the release of 2 armor-piercing rifles the number of suits I see purely armor tanking has diminished. Dual tanking is the new FOTM, so maybe that's what your noticing? The most OP weapon on the Dust Battle Field: One good logi, one rep tool, and a heavy.
Dagger-Two Gespenster Kompanie 203	Posted - 2014.01.17 02:24:00 - [4] - Quote Yeah, I went 34-0 with a Covenant sniper rifle a little while ago. They are extremely viable. Playing since 1st batch of closed beta keys.
Scheneighnay McBob Learning Coalition College 3589	Posted - 2014.01.17 02:42:00 - [5] - Quote I prefer basic over tactical- bigger clip, and I can sometimes preserve ammo, which is very helpful as I carry an uplink instead of nanohives. We used to have a time machine

Since the armor buff, they get to cover before they die. If CCP would fix aiming, I wouldn't have trouble getting headshots. Solo Player Squad status: Locked
Rynoceros Rise Of Old Dudes 2129	Posted - 2014.01.17 02:54:00 - [8] - Quote Who uses STD or MLT? I use the Tactical and just pop off two rounds with the third one waiting, though rarely used. Put it on a STD Logi with a couple of Nanos and you'll be rolling in ISK in a week. Natalie Portman.
Super Sniper95 Grupo de Asalto Chacal RISE of LEGION 42	Posted - 2014.01.17 02:57:00 - [9] - Quote I remember the days of open beta when the charge sniper with 3 damage mods always doin 1 shot kill, and to take down fattys you just needed 2 shots... Ohhh boy I miss that days where everybody was in MLT suits and I miss the Caldari Assault vk.0 :-( If you're worst than me you suck at this. If you're better than me you have no life.

Rusty Shallows 812	Posted - 2014.01.17 03:05:00 - [11] - Quote A buddy seems to be doing well with a Charged SR, three Complex Damage Mods, and Prof at four. Sniper Rifle Proficiency five is being considered with the increase of people surviving by a sliver. He shelved the proto-suites since the Advanced does the job.

excillon Nova Corps Marines Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive 166	Posted - 2014.01.17 03:06:00 - [12] - Quote They still are. Just aim for the head. I use my covenant more than my proto rifles and have plenty of success. Id be happy to compare notes in game sometime.

I know two people who stopped playing last Summer/Fall because their Sniper rifles seemed to suddenly fail. They would shoot people and not do any damage. One came back this week and is much happier since he can get kills again. MCC Lounge Lizard Forums > Game Fix the game CCP

Specially since a Thale 1 HKO's everything but my Forge gun fit.... GIVE ME A RESPEC CCP.
DeadlyAztec11 Ostrakon Agency Gallente Federation 3293	Posted - 2014.01.17 03:22:00 - [15] - Quote I have never felt the need to move past basic sniper rifles. My alts: General John Ripper, Draxus Prime, MoonEagle A, Long Evity And this is why I am the #1 forum warrior
Auris Lionesse SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 60	Posted - 2014.01.17 03:26:00 - [16] - Quote Ccp needs to add a new rifle, variable zoom, 1 shot kill to the head, negligible damage done by body shots.

All sniper heashots need to be a OHKO on all non heavy suits. agreed but it's pointless with the scope being such low zoom, even at low sensitivity the reticule goes to far and I have to drag it back and forth hoping it'll stop where I think his head is. and with rendering I usually hit something that's invisible to me he's sitting behind.

Imma say as a fellow lone wolf ranged battle is discouraged against rail rifles as well as approaching groups, but with one complex dmg mod the basic cr and ar can hang if you can dance. Lol against proto though. You are welcome for my leadership *Proven Aggressive Type
Racro 01 Arifistan 501st Knights of Leanbox INTERGALACTIC WARPIGS 112	Posted - 2014.01.17 04:31:00 - [20] - Quote with all these brick tanked lgois that are common. its a pain to kill them with the rifle weapons. sniper rifles should gte the 100 damage we lsot back. then we can deal with this brick tnaked logi ****. my isksukone used to do 326 a shot now its 226. this makes me need 5 shots to kill a brick tanked logi.] when it was dealing 326. i would be able to 3 shot these brick tanked suits. bring sniper rifles back to where they were and brick tanked logis will be rare.

Harpyja Molon Labe. Public Disorder. 1110	Posted - 2014.01.17 04:37:00 - [21] - Quote I still remember when the EHP of suits rarely surpassed 400 (or something like that; definitely less than your typical 800 armor GalLogi suit nowadays)... And small turret installations... And blaster splash damage... "By His light, and His will" - The Scriptures, Gheinok the First, 12:32

And small turret installations... And blaster splash damage... That is why at least a 100 damage buff is needed. My basic suit has 804 EHP EDIT: Scouts can tank sniper rifles.

Huh, I'm not too surprised there. I've seen scouts with more armor than my EHP on my medium suit. "By His light, and His will" - The Scriptures, Gheinok the First, 12:32
