What should be done with sniper? Poll

Sooooo, every time you choose to shoot a a boat that is not a speeder is it because you're a noob that can not shoot better?... two-way syllogism

 

Just remove one of the +25% crit damage perks in the tree, and move the other one somewhere closer to the end of the tree(level 24 would be much more reasonable than levels 16/17). This way, the crit damage perks will come to more use, and much less people will be complaining about it's damage at huge ranges.

EDIT: Those level 16/17 talents could also be replaced with something other kind, one of them could be an Explosive Cannon(ExC) projectile speed increase by like 20%, and have one of the ExC +20% damage talents decreased to +10%, because currently the ExC is a bit too powerful(and overused) in Nightmare League.

 

Someone is Making Sense....

 

It’s good against speeders because it’s good against everything, because it’s OP.

Speeders are supposed to be hard to hit, that’s why they have less hp than any other ship.

If you’re that worried about speeders, take a carronade with the speed reduction talents, it’s a hard counter. But people don’t want to take that, because then they couldn’t use it all the time against everything on the map. They’re not really concerned about speeders. What they’re concerned about is loads of easy free damage for zero risk. The fact that it completely undermines the whole principle behind the speeder class is just the icing on the cake.

Where is the easy one click weapon to counter shooters, that never misses? I wan’t one of those. Like a Tesla Bolt that does 4000 damage against anything red. Give me one of those, and you can have your sniper.

 

now all 4 cannon have the same DMG ,speed,1% crit chance ....etc

but then bhurt made some changes

made STD cannon reload time faster by decreasing its DMG

made BC do higher DMG by making it need more time to shoot again

made sniper cannon speed faster by making it need more time to shoot again

made EC deal more DMG by decreasing its speed,then given it more DMG by making it need more time to reload,then give it splash DMG by making it 2slots (heavier)

so there is no reason that sniper cannon has more crit chance and its own crit perk,

but it will never be removed bcuz devs use it noobs (75% of players)use it,and normall player nonskilled use it ,so every 3 of 4 players will start complaining about it and start leaving this game

 

I Think you Should Keep it How it Is

 

That's not entirely true, at mk4, speeder can already equip a big shield without sacrifice a turbo (better blue item IMHO), the opposite occurs with Fixer and Enforcer.
I doubt any fixer uses a big shield on nightmare and any enforcer uses a bandage. When we talk about HP, speeders is the 3rd boat

 

The poll has spoken "Leave it alone"

 

Speeder this Speeder that...
All those despite being the strongest ship..
Anyone other than speeder crying here?
If there is then I m listening...

 

But the mk6 speeder will have a tesla shield as well The enforcer's second one, if rare, doesn't look worth to use it, any T-5 blast cannon shot seems to be able to stun its user.

 

Mk4 Speeder can’t equip a big shield and a turbo. A lot of mk4 speeders are running around with only 1700hp, and having to fight shooter with 4K.

Speeder is not the strongest ship. Especially not below mk5. Try playing it, and see how you like running around with less than 2k hp, and only two guns, while shooters are able to kill you in two shots.

Don’t forget, I play against speeders too, and they’re by far the easiest ships to kill. Just because there are a few speeders in the top 50 doesn’t mean anything. Look at the top 200, and the entire rest of the game: shooters outnumber all the other ships combined. Shooter is by far the most OP ship generally.

 

I hate to be stunned, it's so much easier to receive an incredible amount of damage without an overboost... I will definitely use an tesla bolt instead of a rare tesla shield on my mk6

 

Oh, no? Sorry, bad memory everything else remains the same, speeder can have the 3rd higher HP on this beautiful game. From mk5.

 

What exactly is OP about Sniper?
There has been multiple discussion here and I still don't understand what makes it overpowered.

From level 1-39, from infamy 0-4000, mk1-mk5, I never felt that the Sniper is OP. It's just like a glorified cannon.

Is it the range?! Learn to hide and when to show up. Don't be a walking target. Take cover.

Is it the critical chance/damage?! Pfft. Chances. If I had the chance to inflict damage, I won't rely with chances and rather go with the constant. It's not even more than 50% chance.

Is the projectile speed?! It's pretty much the same as regular cannon! You will be hit with a measly 400-500 damage. You can even dodge it with a sudden stop.

But this just my personal opinion. You can use these tips or You can keep complaining.

 

Bro.. you try playing enforcer.. No Speed No health, Waste one yellow point on mk5, No big shield till mk6...Do you See any enforcer blaming any weapon?
And if you are so concerned about low level speeder health ask for health buff, dont ruin a weapon.
And I did see your post abt getting hit by snipers hard 1st. Sniper user do lead the shot and if you ever try it you will know its still takes skill to hit a speeder. And even if you somehow hit one, there is 55% chance(lower in less infamy) that it doesn't crit.
2 nd. Should i also start showing pictures of explosive on my 3150 hp enforcer. 1000 per hit. 3 shots n i m down and i dont even wanna imagine crit of that thing. Lets nerf it.
Its a game of strategy too, you just have to know what to do n not. Even if you are a speeder you cant just explore as you want, you have to use waves ,be unpredictable since Sniper is there only roadblock in speeder scouting. And If it comes to hit point defender will always win.
You should work on your skill, rather than complaining Or just shift to your op shooter and stack op sniper.
