What he means, is don't waste your time as you won't get anywhere or do anything in terms of importance because the current iteration of Snipers are worthless in competitive (and even uncompetitive) matches.
If they made red zones a bullet barrier (IE. you are not cleared to engage so basically your guns don't work) then I could see sniping being buffed. Right now though if sniping got even better then there would be no point not to leave the red line, especially if you can snipe the objective/s from there, which you can on some maps anyways. Hell the range nerf would of been uneccessary if they just made all weapons not function in the red line and moved all objectives away from red lines to remove any strategic concerns.
But nope, we'll just keep dancing around **** that was implemented in past battle type games ages ago. Problem with sniping was that it had to be emasculated since snipers couldn't be hunted by non-snipers or could just head glitch with a thales as some still do. |

fine ill use the seizure gun
The scrambler rifle? Might as well since CCP won't give it the same stats as the TAR although it is in the same category. Because reasons. Just don't bother with the assault variant as the scrambler rifle standard is just as good in CQC with 2.3ish times the damage. |

Don't express that sentiment too loud amarr generally get to do whatever the hell they want lol. Logis have a sidearm, ScR is good at everything infantry related, and scrambler pistols get a crazy head shot bonus that isn't shared by other pistols. Oh yeah, and they get to change their entire suit layout to fit the meta (armor tanking) because teh lore!! |

Try the cal.mando cause on proto lvl you can squeeze 3 damage mods on it and you get the +10% passive damage bonus for sniper rifles. No other suit will do more damage output then that and if some 1 trys to creep up onto you you can at least switch to a other light weapon and defend yourself. You would be surprised how good you could actually snipe in a Cal Assault and how much that reload skill helps . I used both and yes the Cal Commando is the best but the Cal assault is a darn near close second . That suit is a beast and is better then given credit for .
pfft I can one shot head shot most non heavies with my covenant assault armed with a covenant sniper rifle 0 skills invested in sniping too. You can snipe with anything as long as it's armed with some sort of sniper rifle and you have a good controller. Sensitivity settings in this game are pretty borked, I have to turn it all the way down and I'm using a brand new sony ds3. third party controllers? Forget about it, no way can you snipe with that. I suspect a lot of players have trouble aiming in this game because of the poor sensitivity options. |

I have that same fit and do the same thing so I know what your talking about but that Cal assault is a beast . I think I still have those suits if I haven't sold them yet from being broke . I had 200 and 100 shock assaults .
It has serious diminishing returns though, If I remember correctly if you stack more than 3 damage mods the stacking penalty is so high that you're better off just leaving the slots empty or adding rechargers/extenders. That's why I'm not a fan of proto sniping fits unless you're running a fat suit with a thales.
3 complex damage mods from what I remember adds like 18% damage and a 4th adds like 20% and a 5th like 21%.
I generally never stack more than 2 damage mods. |
