Do me a quick stat check: Find the aim assist numbers (via planet destiny) of the following: Y-09 longbow synthesis - (53 AA) http://db.planetdestiny.com/items/view/935317314 1000 yard stare - (56 AA) http://db.planetdestiny.com/items/view/170377716 Shadow of veils - (69!! AA) http://db.planetdestiny.com/items/view/190731588 Defiance of Yasmin - (69 AA) http://db.planetdestiny.com/items/view/3919765141 Hereafter - ([b]75 AA[/b]) http://db.planetdestiny.com/items/view/3227022823 After doing so, find a basis for your claim that 1000 yard stare has a high aim assist. I've heard everything from hidden hand is too good (it isn't) to it can shoot off revive (nothing to do with AA in the first place). If it beats you so bad you think it's op, then learn to counter snipe. Not hard. Edit: some people think I have a problem with sniping off res. I don't, but it is a counter I've heard when I say 1000 yard stare isn't op. Definitely not an issue for me
