it gets a huge flinch while having lowest dps among specials.
Seriously, aggresive sniper damages 9.8k while ticuu bow can do 13k? no one would use it.
It should get the damage buff and flinch nerf on pve.

I'm pretty sure they was nerfed in "Season of the Arrivals" due to mass player using snipers on champions in the lost sectors during the "Season of Worthy" in which was helpful but then they buffed swords because players was not using swords because we thought they was too risky and boss Op stop mechanic in which still kinda ridiculous now but not as bad as it was back then all due to them wanting us to get up close and personal on them 😒

Ok...you could have made your point without comparing a regular sniper against an exotic that can do crazy damage with his catalyst that need setup Honestly you have a point but this comparison makes your Point weaker

6 OdpowiedziSniper damage is fine. The problem is that you need to find the godrolls for that PVE activity. For boss DPS, it's praedyths revenge. For champions, majors and picking off snipers, it's succession.

1 OdpowiedźSniper rifles have always felt off in D2 since day 1 (compared to D1)… I wish they would get some kind of love but after this many years I doubt it will ever happen

2 OdpowiedziDuring devils lair I brought succession an agg frame sniper into the GM for long range dmg, and compared to lemon it was sad, precision with lemon without accounting for tic dmg it did almost 4800 dmg, while an agg frame sniper did just under 8900 on precision, why would I risk trying to line up sniper shots which have limited ammo for that poor damage output when my primary can easily do more sustained and higher dmg overall, special weapons should be powerful for taking down stronger enemies but in gms, most specials feel pretty useless, like shotty in Gm? I don’t know about most people but when enemies can kill you in under a second at long range I definitely don’t wanna get close to them. It’s no wonder blinding hades have such a leap, it’s not even a damage factor, they are just fundamentally better to use at end game, why would you want to prevent as little incoming fire as possible when enemies hit so much harder and require sustained fire? It’s not hard to understand. But bungie said nerf.

They really do

29 OdpowiedziCartesian with particle deals roughly 20-30k per shot. Darci deals 54k per shot, and can fire 3-4 shots before Cartesian fires a second. You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.

I agree that's why it's not hard to choose a GL,fusion rifle or shotgun over it I want it's prenerf damage back

I think snipers are in a good spot however good ones are rare/not easy to obtain. ~Frozen Orbit, 4 or 5 round mag, auto-loading, vorpal. ~Occluded Finality, 4 or 5 round mag, auto-loading, vorpal. ~Praedyth's Revenge Timelost, 12 round mag(via rewind), 6 triggers of high impact reserves, 96 reload stat. ~Succession, 8 round or 10 round mag, vorpal, reconstruction. But to put in perspective "How rare these are" I never obtained a frozen orbit with auto-loading vorpal in all of beyond light and 100+ resets. Occluded Finality, I have the vorpal and auto-loader but bad magazine perks, over 15k IB tokens handed in. Spent over 2000 spoils of conquest to obtain a good Succession. Never gotten a good Praedyth's.

1 OdpowiedźIf only I think I read something a while back that Bungie doesn’t want Snipers to be to powerful because we’ll just sit in the back and camp the hardest content

100% agree!

I miss using snipers as a powerful weapon against raid bosses, like back in d1 when using black spindle for just about every raid encounter or just snipers being reliable dps in general but what I miss most was hitting headshot after headshot on pve opponents. It’s funny to think that snipers are better in pvp than they are in pve.

3 OdpowiedziMy kinetic go-to sniper is Succession with Reconstruction and Vorpal My energy go-to sniper is Uzume (Adept) with Triple Tap and Vorpal. I have no issues with either one, as both of those are top tier. If I was using anything else I would be in 100% agreement, but because of those two bad b!tches above, ill be 98% in agreement with OP (two guns = two %) xD
-
Snipers def need something for pve but some snipers still stand out among the rest like uzumi with triple vorpal. That thing is able to dish out some solid dmg on its own and same goes for succession and Shepard watch. Still agree that they need something

2 OdpowiedziYou cant really compare a sniper to ticuus, even if its just a damage comparison, ticuus is just built different lol.
