DUST Search - After 1.8

Ace Boone wrote:

I agree that the Snipers are slowly being phased out of the game altogether. I don't need the intel of a sniper because I have a scanner, I don't need him to pop anybody off of buildings because we've got ADS, tanks and RRs for that. They have no unique spotting abilities, and the only serviceable sniper is a charge or thales sitting on top of the MCC.
They suck.

As for minmitars, the Minmitar Commando will be very good as it's fast and gets a sweet bonus to AV, but most importantly, CRs and MDs. That Mass Driver + CR combo is gonna be great. Minmitar logi's are still great support roles and minmitar scouts are still gonna be as decent as they ever were (I hope the slot layout changes, though).

I don't see how the Minmitar heavy will succeed though. Shield tanking speed heavy will not work out well, IMO.

EDIT: The gallente heavies will be so damn slow it won't even matter. Amarr can stack the **** out of armor too, most heavies just don't do it because they move like a damn turtle.

SPACE SYPHILIS Condotta Rouvenor Gallente Federation 18	Posted - 2014.03.24 04:35:00 - [1] - Quote I feel we will see the last really good snipers hang up their rifles and call it. I also feel the Mimitards will only have their scout to be proud of. Last I feel the Gallente heavy or Amarr will be the dominate heavy and who the true super scout will be determined and IMO it will be Gallente for the win. What do you think will change after 1.8??????

Haven't really contemplated the Sentinel though. Scout is pure win, Commando gets bonuses to two of my fav weapons, logi gets a bonus to my fav logi item, assault gets more CR/SMG ammo...they may not be the best stat wise but I'll ENJOY playing them and little else matters to me. :D Proud Minmatar scout - Republic Merc 7/10 Immune to bitter/jaded vet syndrome Roll with the punches instead of QQing

Bones McGavins TacoCat Industries 609	Posted - 2014.03.24 05:14:00 - [7] - Quote I don't get the sniper hate. I use it sometimes and it murders faces so well. And as a scout, a thale or charged a pier can shut down entire sections of the map for me. It seems easy to use and has a number of roles it does well. Are there other alternatives to what it does sure, but that doesn't mean it isn't good. Cloak may be a big downfall for snipers depending on how easy it is to spot a cloaked running at range. If they can the. 1.8 shield be a field day for snipers as more scouts are out running about able to be ohk and vulnerable to your fire as they flank.
Waiyu Ren Seeker of The Path 80	Posted - 2014.03.24 05:41:00 - [8] - Quote Granted i've only just started trying scouting and sniping, but i've begun carrying a basic sniper rifle on my primary fit as a weapon of opportunity. In close i like an SMG (don't like knives or shotty, doesn't fit how i like to play), but if i'm flanking wide and i see a distant red while in a good spot... It just seemed like a good idea, and it's working for me. Shouting doesn't make your opinion seem more valid, it just makes you seem more annoying.
Rusty Shallows 1223	Posted - 2014.03.24 05:55:00 - [9] - Quote Why all the Winmatar hate? I love equipment so their Logi is my only serious choice. The Advanced Sentinel is a perfect blend of mobility, buffer, and the best module options. Yes all the others have more buffer and anyone going bricked-bruiser is going to be disappointed. Yet consider local reps and the option to move faster or improve shield delay. I use my sidearm allot so maybe instead of a precision enhancer I'll go sidearm damage mod to compliment the heavy damage mod. At the Basic and Protoype levels my enthusiasm drops sharply but the Advanced is a thing of beauty. Here, have some candy and a Like. :-) Forums > Game

The snipers in this game are broken and sitting in the redline with a Thales getting kills off body shots is kind of pathetic. It only counts if it's a headshot. Gallente Heavy Ninja Turtles!

DozersMouse XIII Ultramarine Corp 239	Posted - 2014.03.24 08:14:00 - [12] - Quote snipers should give up a month or so after 1.8 they should have a field day with all the new scouts running around Bacon pancakes makin' bacon pancakes Take some bacon and I'll put it a pancake Bacon pancakes thats what it's gonna make

What do you think will change after 1.8?????? Exactly what you said. It is the end of sniping in Dust, and the beggining of the heavy monster and scout madness period. Good guess. I can see you Buy a tank Buy an assault dropship

Ensar Cael Black Spire Force Recon 96	Posted - 2014.03.24 09:36:00 - [18] - Quote Yeah it is the end of sniping in 1.8. Saw this one coming in 1.5 though, just figured I would enjoy it while I could. Not all snipers sit in the redline or on the MCC with a Thales. Some of us like to be in the thick of it. I get killed from within the 60 meter range mostly, because I sneak around the map. Its a shame that so many bullsht coward snipers run it this game padding their KDR's. It's led to this situation, so thanks for that you useless fckwits....
