Spear is the pro sniper choice
[quote]As the title says. Everyone complained about final round, well they are taking it away. So what is your excuse going to be when you're still getting rekt by actual good snipers while you run around with the new noob Her Benevolence with hidden hand?
Edit 1:
Over 400 replies! Dag yo thanks for everyone's input. There seems to be some debate on best sniper overall. [b]Meatshield[/b] was kind enough to drop the skinny on aim assist rankings. There were some hilarious combatants going back and forth, overall thanks for keeping it kinda civil.
Seems like LDR, P.Revenge, HB, SoV, and the beast that is Spear are the overall favorites.[/quote]

Slightly off-topic, how much does Hidden Hand increase a sniper's aim assist? Like +20 or something?
-
1 ReplyI used to use LDR a lot but I got the new efrideets and I actually like the lower aim assist. Feels better like I am doing more of the work and not the other way around.
-
I prefer this sniper over all ^^

2 RepliesHow well does spear do pn a body shot?

Benevolence and spear feel the same. If you can snipe it doesn't matter what you use. #finalroundisbullshit

76 RepliesEdited by II meatshield I: 8/3/2015 4:59:40 AMEDIT: since this reply seems to have gotten a lot of attention and mentioned in the original post I've updated it since people told me it was outdated, I also forgot a couple so now the list is better and accurate (hopefully) I don't know why people are saying her benevolence is nooby, it has completely average aim assist by default, hidden hand isn't gonna increase it by that much, here's a list in case you're curious. Highest aim assist on snipers: 1. Shadow of veils - 69 2. Patience and time - 65 3. The supremacy - 63 4. Eye of sol - 61 5. Prudence II - 59 6. Longbow synthesis - 53 7. Icebreaker - 50 7. No land beyond - 50 8. LDR 5001 - 49 8. Subtle nudge DN7 - 49 9. Broken truth LR1 - 41 10. Her benevolence - 40 11. Epitaph 2261 - 36 12. Low grade humility - 35 13. Amplified GEO - 30 14. Violator XII - 27 15. Efrideet's spear (TDB+) - 25 15. 20/20 AMR7 - 25 16. The chosen - 23 17. Praedyth's revenge - 20 18. Black hammer - 14 19. Efrideet's spear (vanilla) -10 BONUS: Queen breakers bow - 80 So yea if you want to be an elitist asshole then grab yourself a praedyths or an efrideets and boast about how much better you think you are.

I've always used the spear and I've never used final round
-
3 RepliesSince they're removing my final round perk on my ES, I bought a new one this week and rolled it for hidden hand and unflinching. Now there shouldn't be any doubt in you whiner's minds as to where I just shot you.... Because I only ever used my final round as a close ranged last resort.
-
My personal favorite is my Longbow Synthesis. Especially in ToO when it can down a reviving guardian in one well placed headshot. I have videos of it on my upload feed if yall wanna watch :P gt same as name.
-
I have my vanilla efrideets with performance bonus clown cartridge field scout and ambush. I love it
-
I would rather die to a her benevolence with hidden hand than a longbow with send it...
-
Got spear and rolled it to make sure I didn't get final round! I always aim for head
-
I haven't ever used a final round sniper, and I am an acual good sniper i used ldr, final boss, and longbow long ago now i use her benevolence with hidden hand because mixed with my sniping skills and that perk = unbeatable sniper, but that's the only reason i use it.
-
4 RepliesI dont think ive ever seen a final round sniper used against me, except for a rare crucible sniper ALL the way back in vanilla
-
Supremacy is the best. Or so I heard. I never got it when it was available for the three days in September the event was going on. Personally I love my Longbow.
-
5 RepliesLol, which pros, exactly? Top tier snipers use weapons like the prudence or benevolence, not the spear.
-
The spear has the lowest aim assist with 15. It truly will be the sniper for pros because it will require the most skill once final round is gone.
-
I only use LDR with FireFly and It amazing because I can shoot and get headshots through walls
-
Patience & Time
-
Started using my Pre-HoW Spear almost exclusively since TDB. The thing is a monster. Perks: Shortgaze, Double Down, Field scout/Snapshot, Firefly 74.5 Headshot % overall 80.7 Headshot % in trials

The spear can get hidden hand as well
-
2 RepliesI'll just stick with the fusion rifle on my hunter.
-
With hidden hand you still have to get head shots, unlike final round. I personally love my her Benovolence with shortgaze and snapshot. Very fun gun to use.

9 RepliesThe sniper really doesn't matter I go in-between my spear, nudge, HB, and my eye just so I can have a choice of do I want one hit ko a shielded enemy or not or do I want to spam body shots really quick
