Sniping isn't Dead - Here are some tips to quickly adjust to the nerf:
Increased Zoom changes the "angles" you are familiar with when trying to snipe lanes. If you are trying to hold down a revive, or wait for someone to come through the doorway, you may be wondering if you are actually at head height.... If you are using the short-gaze, zoom in and look at the numbers around the edge of the scope. The 9 is approximately head height, so use this to your advantage. Your elevation will effect this however, so don't rely on it fully.
Increased time to ADS: Many panic situations have now been made harder due to it taking longer for you to get your scope up and ready. You will need to play a bit safer,. If you aren't ready, players will close the gap before you can line up a shot.
If you want to "quick scope" and be an aggressive sniper, pray to the heavens that you get a sniper with "Quickdraw" - From what I've tested, Quickdraw wasn't nerfed as heavily (if at all) like snapshot was. The increased zoom speed is still solid, and will allow you to react to panic situations easier. If you can't find one, blade dancer has the perk in it's skill tree... you'll just need to deal with terrible super hit registration
Sniping hasn't changed that much, with many players adjusting after only a few games. The extra zoom makes certain engagements tougher, but for the most part, if you are trying to snipe someone from 3 meters away, your spacing is off :P
If you have any questions, throw them my way. If i don't have a solid answer, there is a good chance someone better at sniping will be commenting on this post, and they will help you out :)

Might be a silly question but ive never tried this... does bladedancers quickdraw and a snipers quickdraw stack? If so would you say quickdraw is superior than snapshot on weapons for bladedancers?

6 RepliesWhat nerf? I don't usually run snipers in PvP but I pulled my LDR out for ToO last night an hardly noticed a massive change, if anything I was getting crit kills that really shouldn't have been, sniping's a joke in this game.

The crucible, Where primaries are your secondaries and secondaries are your primaries. Fun

Only sniper plebs are having a hard time with the update.

Increased zoom shouldn't change head height. Your sniper is parallel to the ground before and after patch, assuming you're on a flat surface and so is your enemy.

1 ReplyWhat nerf?

They are not dead. They are still the crutch you tubers need to make videos. Face it, the majority of you tubers need them or they'd lose their subs.

Who needs tips, sniping feels no different to before the update.

Watched this yesterday it's a great vid! Big fan mtashed :)

Special weapons always survive destinys horrid updates but I hate all you f u cks who hop in the op gun bandwagon whenever bungie decides to make a new primary class better and now its scout rifles and if I dont use one im at a disadvantage your all scared of using somthing different and you all cant play without one so f u ck you for making crucible boring with your bandwagon ways

Lol sniping and shotguns will never be dead in a fps period they're 1 shots that will always fulfill there intended role period

2 RepliesEdited by CleverInvective: 4/18/2016 7:15:11 AMYou know, I used to like you mtashed, but then I just got bored of your videos so I unsubbed. All your videos are the same boring routine of sniping and It got old and stale fast. And your continued sniping is just a constant reminder of how dysfunctional this game is and its casual nature. Go pick up a fusion rifle and let's see how hot you are.

13 RepliesWow cool, you can still use the insanely high AA destiny sniper rifles, you're so good Laughable at best, whats wrong you afraid of your primary?
-
So basically... Snipers need a real nerf?
-
This is what made the PvE game $hit Just sayin
-
There was a nerf? Didn't notice. And you must be stupid to even consider it is dead, they still rule crucible without competition.
-
I like your videos man, I'd love to play crucible with you sometime.
