thousand yard stare gets that many kills because its one of 3 legendary snipers that can res snipe. One of which is restricted to the hunter class, and the other is locked behind the gunsmith. Everyone gets a well rolled Thousand yard stare from a quest.
Thousand yard stare is no different than LDR, her benevolence, Longbow, efrideets, or shadow of veils. It is really the only reasonable sniper rifle that can be expected to be used for the casual player outside of hunters.
People on this forum equate overuse to overpowered. MIDA is currently being over used and it will normalize in a few weeks and go back to pulse rifles being the most common weapon type as they are meant to be the jack of all trades master of none class. The last word really is the only competitive hand cannon due to the hawkmoon nerf, thorn would be back to dominating if it was year two (shudder). Thousand yard stare will probably be over used until they add a new sniper of that archetype in the next expansion. The first time Trials launched there were a handful of snipers that could res snipe. We only have 2 right now.
The thing that bothers me the most of the Thousand yard stare kills is that 41% of them are headshots. The only thing i think they should do to snipers is make high impact take 3 body shots to kill and low impact take 4. Would actually force players to go for headshots

Edited by Maniac Survivor: 1/5/2016 9:55:41 AMThey should just remove the rez sniping to be honest...
-
That would be terrible unless they also removed the shields and immunity frames the player being revived gets as well
-
Edited by Maniac Survivor: 1/5/2016 10:02:46 AMWhy is that? Every sniper would become as viable as the other in pvp and you'd need two people to stare down an orb after a kill. I think if you want to keep the orb, you should move your ass towards it anyways. However, I think all snipers should be able to headshot supers still, especially Sunsingers would be annoying.
-
there is already too much emphasis on revives in ToO and the res shield can honestly shift the fight by allowing one player to have a shield taking longer to kill with a primary while the other is still in the immunity frames and then also gets a shield. Sometimes you can't push up on an orb and res sniping makes players either wait, or push someone when getting a res.
-
Nothing's should res snipe...
-
then there should be no res shield or immunity frames
-
Agreed
-
What is res-sniping? And, why can't other snipers do it?
-
Rez snipers are the snipers with enough impact to kill someone with a headshot while your enemy has increased health, for example: Revived with shield in Trials of Osiris, Bldedancers, Stormcallers, Sunbreakers. Snipers with a little bit less impact won't kill all those things I mentioned with a headshot. This is especially important in trials where you can headshot the revived player down, even with a shield, therefore they're called rez snipers.
-
I think your reading it wrong. Its 41%of TOTAL headshots, not headshot % I believe(although if I'm wrong.... How bad can people actually be at sniping )
-
Wait. A [u][i]quest?[/i][/u] Tell me everything.
-
Its one of the Taken War quest obtained from the Vanguard Masters (Ikora, Cayde, & Zavala). Can't remember who gives you it, but I think it's the Earth version of the quest.

How many of those can res-snipe? I count 3, 1 of which is class specific. Not much variety tbh.
-
I know, it's just a list of legendary snipers
-
i fail to see the point of this post

There is no point, just a list of legendary snipers

The whole body shot thing is unreasonable right now due to the fact that a primary would down you way before you could kill them. There has to be balance between precision and body shots. That is complete unbalanced. Not between the snipers, but against other weapons
-
A sniper has the lowest TTK if you land precision shots. Right now you can double body shot most things pretty quickly. Snipers should reward precision
-
Well stated.
-
i think people do go for the headshots and just miss the first one. Better to miss low and double body shot kill than miss high and do no damage. although it does make you look like a scrub. So i guess it comes to where your priorities lie. Do you want to win or not be considered a scrub.
-
I totally agree with the last part
