Ironically, after the recent nerf the oddest sniper rifle in the game became the most efficient. Fast handling, lots of ammo, great range, beautiful snappy iron sights, and high impact. Takes down supers with a single shot. If you can pace yourself to deal with slow reload, you will fall in love with that beast. It's on my hunter now. It's a great rifle, it makes n00bs cry.

They nerfed because. 1. The LDR/1YKS/LBA class of snipers were out of balance. They had become do-everything weapons with no trade offs. Great range. Snappy, scout rifle like handling. High aim-assist. Good magazine and reserve size. Rez snipe in Trials. Snipe playes out of their supers in 3v3. There was almost no reason to use anything else in both PVP and PVE. 2. So now they've made it so there is a clear trade off between impact, aim-assist, and speed of handling. You can have high aim-assist and really fast handling in a sniper....but you're going to have to trade impact (Weyloran's March). You can have moderate impact...but you're going to now have to trade some aim-assist and handling speed (LDR/LBA where it now sits). You can have the highest impact in the game...but you're going to have to pay a serious price in terms of aim-assist (low) and speed of handling (slow) (Black Spindle). 3. What this does is that it creates a set of trade offs that give the sniper rifles much more clearly deifned roles in PVE. Fast-handling, low impact trash mob ikllers, versus slow heavy hitting boss killers Black Spindle. In PVP it forces you to trade handling speed, aim assist and magazine size...if you want to be certain of sniping people out of supers. So your going to have to use a weapon that is going to be able to exert less pressure on neutral game play because its slower...and you'll have to fight from farther back. Or you can have that faster handling sniper that is able to pressure neutral game play....but at the price of having to rely more on your own super if you want to counter other supers.
