Sir Dukey KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 800	Posted - 2014.04.16 00:50:00 - [1] - Quote Stop with the freking risk/reward. If you are not willing to do sht about it, then it's your own fault. My sniper suits costed 130k isk in 1.6 and were easily killable by a standard tactical sniper. Get good you scurbs and stop tying to keep a shtty weapon in the dirt. The only viable sniper right now is the thale's. Snipers are an unliked class but you deserve to be sniped if you don't want to counter them. I kill 90% of sniper I face with level 2 in sniper operation, a scout suit and a tactical sniper rifle and I best most lose over 100k isk per death when I start sniping. They all need a zoom and damage buff. Tactical needs it's clip size increased. Charge needs a cooler word in front of the name, a damage buff and a huge zoom capability buff. Basic needs a damage buff.

Charged sniper rifle charge does like 410 damage max. barley a bit more damage than militia suits and thats with over 5 million sp + investment.

Headshots which are impossible with a 2x zoom scope and a controller.

CoD----------------> no sniper in any game takes away at max 25% of an enemies health. a proto sniper should take away at least 75% of a proto suits health. (suit with 700 ehp). A proto sniper should rip through most suits.

You expect to make people lose 200k dropsuits from the safety of your redline while dying maybe once a blue moon? You would think people are smart enough to pick up a sniper themself and kill us glass cannons but they continue to run around. Still it's practically impossible to kill a proto suit without the thales that is moving.

So basically, you have to bring a tank to counter a tank? no, it requires a weapon of the same type. to kill a tank you use a forgegun (mini railgun or you use swarms which are minny missile launchers.) Stop being lazy, if you are not willing to kill a dude sitting still, you deserve to be killed. Anyway, not everybody snipes from the redline. Stop nerfing the ones that don't.

Shoot them twice, or just once in the head. if I have to shoot twice to down a militia suit, then I have to shoot 6 times to kill a proto. more to kill a heavy and even more if I miss which is very likely with a 2x scope.

This is what I am talking about. Right now, assuming we can miss 50% of the shoots (because the enemy hides and wisely take cover), it takes about 10-15 shoots to kills a prototype suit by using a prototype sniper. Just ridiculous. Then rename the sniper rifles to assault rifles. re name to bunny guns. I find it awesome that we have the ability to shoot bunnies and pink cotton candy at our deadly enemies.

Or do people hate Snipers simply because killing one requires them to actually search for one? the worst part of snipers in dust are the fact that they are unusable without sitting still. They need their scope improvised so its like a railrifle scope but with much better zoom. Also it's annoying that 1000s of years into the future and out dropsuits still cant hold their hands still. sniper is like the only weapon that has sway when aiming.

Are you saying thale's is the only good sniper? Well, you are correct. It's as if the made a officer plasma cannon that doesn't have charge and shoots much faster with no arc. STD-Proto are useless and the officer one is only viable one but it still sucks compared to many other weapons.

I've been sniping exclusively in PC matches for the most competitive corps. for a long time. Using Thale's generally and I am never in my red line. When it matters most, you definitely aren't in your red line.. Read the forums.. I can get more kills with a charge rifle outside of the red line.. Than with a Thale's in the red line. I know that holds true for any good sniper. I'm guessing your definition of a "good sniper" is poorly defined. sniping in the redline is like asking for death, that's where everyone looks for you.
