Okay guys, I already know what'll win, but, heck... Let's see how this goes:
Ok, pick your favourite RoF to impact variant of sniper ^
For those who don't know:
40/ 13;
Very fast firing, takes two hits to the body to kill. Cannot Rez snipe.
Examples:
Eye of sol (yr 1)
37/ 16;
Fast firing, two body hits to kill (leaving the opponent with half health, cannot rez snipe.
Examples:
Praedyth's revenge (yr 1)
Glass promontory (yr 2)
26/ 22;
Fires moderately quickly, two body hits to kill, cannot rez snipe.
Examples:
Defiance of yasmin (yr 2)
Patience and time (yr 1)
26/ 25;
Fires moderately quickly, two body hits to kill (slightly more damage than ^), cannot rez snipe.
Examples:
Hereafter (yr 2)
Patience and time (with AB) (yr 1)
19/ 31;
Slow firing, very powerful, two hit body, (leaving opponent with 1/4 health), [b]can rez snipe[/b]
Examples;
1000 yard stare (yr 2)
Ldr 5001 (yr 1)
19/ 34;
Same as ^ (might do more damage, might be viewing glitch)
[i]Only[/i] example:
Eirene rr4 (yr 2)
12/ 37;
Very slow RoF, massive damage, two hit body (leaves opponent with very little health), [b]can rez snipe[/b].
Examples:
Black spindle (yr 2)
Efrideet's spear (yr 1)
I'm excluding the subtle nudge 43/ 10 variant, as it takes three body hits to kill, it's not a popular choice whatsoever.
I'm talking about PvP in my descriptions but feel free to let me know what you prefer for pve:
Please tell me why you prefer the archetype you picked, and maybe your favourite sniper from that archetype.
Thanks, that's it from me...
:)

1 ReplyI miss Praydeths Revenge because of the massive stability. I could pop off 2 shots if the 1st wasn't a headshot. It was amazing.

1 ReplyY1 I really loved the Longbow Synth, I guess I stayed close to home getting the 1k Stare I have hah

1 ReplyMy favorite sniper was Her Benevolence. She handled like a beauty in my hands.

1 ReplyMy Arc Efrideet's Spear and i share a deep connection. -100 aim assist, [i]classic[/i] sniper design. The Eirene RR4 could have been a proper replacement, if it didn't shoot energy liquid explosion things instead of bullets. Oh, did i mention feedback/recoil...? Efrideet, plz come back, i need you :-/
