[quote]Ok, so all I hear in raids is "put on your best sniper" or "everyone should only be sniping at golgoroth's belly"........Well, here's what I know from looking at the stats after the team dies or wipes. I used a 306 Baron's Ambition machine gun on golgoroth followed by a few shots from my sniper if time allowed. When the stats screen came up after wipe I was always #1 or #2 on damage to golgoroth with that strategy. My question is simple math: Do for example 40 hits with a machine gun at say 3,100 damage not beat 8 hits with a sniper at say 8-12,000 damage? Depending on your sniper DPS I would say a lot of guys ARE confused, and they're confusing some of the newer guys by telling them what to do.....especially if the guy's snipers have slow reload which really holds the team back in the raid. If you only have time to shoot 4-6 shots at a boss you're not really helping unless you have a 20,000 dps sniper which I don't see a lot of guys using. My point is basically that far too often the guys giving advice are the same one's bitching when the weak link doesn't succeed with their advice. I know from experience less mouth running and more focus would help the raid teams, every time talking goes up performance goes down in raids I've been on. Checking the stat screen after wipes would be the best strategy to tell you what to use as YOUR best DPS, not someone else's. EDIT: I said EXAMPLE when mentioning stats per gun......the math comparison still remains the same unless you have one of the best guns which a lot of guys don't.[/quote] Dude I use 309 1000 yard stare with triple tap and outlaw and get 86,000 a shot without tether or weapons of light with both weapons and tether I get 110,000 per shot that's 10 shots each round so use whatever your comfortable with just do DPS. best advice I tell new Raiders is save your legandary mark's and buy the 1000 yard stare from vanguard quartermaster it's the easiest to get and it's good for the whole raid
