If it was just one character in the level of bana, I would suggest a relook at the class skills as not even a berserker can do that.



My sniper was the only ship there, truly solo.

What he didn't mention was the length of time required to solo Bana Queen. And the types of augs / tweaks required to make it work. I'd place a fair bet it took him close to an hour to do just in the last level of Bana alone, if not longer.

OH MY GOD! NOW SNIPERS CAN MATCH MY DPS AS ZERKER! I DONT WANT ANY CLASS TO MATCH MY FUCKTARDED DPS! BROKEN BROKEN

Seriously, sniper is the counterpart of Zerkers in the Combat class. Now they can match your insane DPS and zerkers no longer have a monopoly. Stop crying :P

Reason zerker can't do that is because of energy correct?

Sniper is more efficient also, Sniper sits far away while a zerker is up close. So zerker will always get hit while sniper might never get hit. Also seeing that he has to wait 10 minutes is amble enough for this. Keep in mind that sniper is supposed to match zerker in DPS as well. So Soloing bana would be in its power.


Not sure what Berserkers your using, I assume bank setups, which is where Berserkers go wrong. And No energy is not the problem.

Not sure where you got that idea Yellow. Sniper gets +firing energy, berserker gets -firing energy...

Well, I guess it has to go live and people to start breaking things for Jeff to see how this will effect the game as a whole.

Time to make sniper alts.

Tisk tisk.

Sniper is not superior to zerk, it is just an alterative. Zerks are still uber tanks, and able to put out silly amounts of DPS in a very short time, if built with that in mind. They do not suffer in high-vis gals, which many boss levels are. They do not need to wait ten minutes to get up to full strength. They do not need to worry about being invisible to ShMs (something I still think shouldn't happen, btw). They do not need to use inferior gear in order to stealth, or suffer any of the other stealth-related drawbacks.

And before Churchill starts crying about it: Yes, I know you don't need stealth to make a sniper. But the visible snipers are even more specialized, and suffer even more severe drawbacks, than regular sniper.

Sniper will be a excellent solo class but overall Zerker is still a better skill when it comes to doing ubers and will get things done a lot faster then a Sniper.

From your experience you should know that all of the ubers in Olympus currently takes quite a bit more than 10 minutes.

I am not worried about this class in pvp or other ares or team runs. What bothers me is their massive range combined with TONS of dps at 10minutes. Will make things much easier, get 5 snipers together and you can kill anything, just stay out of range, which isnt very hard considering most ubers go <100 speed.

Not to mention the guy admitted solo bana, which I have personally never seen a Berserker do, because we have to stay in range of it.
