calisk galern BurgezzE.T.F Orion Empire 97	Posted - 2013.05.03 19:26:00 - [1] - Quote thanks =) most of the proto sniper rifles are so negligibly different from the base rifles the only reason to spec into them is the Thale and the passives. it will be nice to have a reason to go to the higher tiers I suppose. that said would of liked to see a new sniper rifle or a suit somewhat designed around sniping, but it's to be expected as the black sheep class I suppose.

Good start. My biggest question is have they fixed the damage mods

Buster Friently Rosen Association 346	Posted - 2013.05.03 20:08:00 - [9] - Quote The only problem I have with this is the zoom level on the charge. If the charge is now a proto rifle, it needs to have the zoom level of a proto weapon, not the level 2 weapon zoom it currently has. Having said that, my sniper build was skilled up to charge, then I didn't get any more skill in SR because there was no better weapon (aside from the Thale's) for my sniper style. Overall, this is the right move, I just hope they boost the zoom to match the other proto sniper rifles.

And for only 6k ISK. How is that even possible? Really, I want to know I meant the sniper rifle only cost that. My sniper build costs about 40K isk total (or there abouts). 266 dam+weaponry5+3comDamMods= DEATH. I routinely hit people one time, not even headshots, and they go down. And if not, they end up running around in their undies. I can only imagine I'd be able to 2 shot a decent heavy if I maxed out the sniper rifle skill/proficiency skills. Plus the damn thing is only 30CPU/4PG leaving plenty of CPU for those dam mods. It is true, this rifle makes it worthless to go proto SR. Even if I ever once got thales in my salvage , I'd still stick with the charged.

But there is nothing I love more than taking out a thaler with my charged. So actually, I might have to disagree. But it would be fun to at least shoot one. jeez. My record is taking 6-7 thales from a dude over two matches.

And for only 6k ISK. well it is going to be proto so it is going to cost a lot more so basically they removed the whole reason anyone would buy them. cheap and low sp needed with good damage for its tier. its actually bad for the proto tier. Yeah, though we already know that it didn't get a damage buff for being a proto gun now. /sarcasm I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't, though it would make sense to buff the damage if they increase the tier.

IMHO it has buffed/proto level damage. 266 per unadjusted hit for a full charge, and 133 for a 1/2 charge. scouts and assaults up to adv were one shots easy unless the target had immense defenses on their fit. I reduce protos to half armor typically if not a bit more. Then I have the almighty half charge shot to quickly follow up. Heavies are usually 4+ shots.Once you get the hang of this, it's awesome. It's fun to shoot gunners in dropships also. What I would like to see is a skill to reduce the charge time, but that might be a bit OP.

I would find that to be an acceptable substitute for a damage buff. It will require a whole lot more SP to acquire and will be substantially more expensive when it becomes a proto weapon. There needs to be some form of buff, otherwise it isn't a rebalance, it is just a nerf.
