sniper cannon inadequate.

but is it possible that perks to "crit" and "damage to burning targets" work together?

 

If you mean my crit chance, it is 20%. If you mean the crit damage percent then it is 2.9 times more than normal. It hits for 1500 ish on a crit. If I replace the chill perk with another epic crit damage perk then I hit towards 1600.

 

hubba, make the range -5, make the crit multiplyer to only 2x, and make the projectile speed -10
Happy now?

 

Happy for what. I don't use the weapon.

 

Ok.
Personally i don't like relying on chance. In one of my old setups i could get about that much with 9/10 shots. one epic 8% dmg, 3 epic 12% more dmg on burning target.
relying on chance to me ain't nice especially with that long reload time just to get a shot less than a regular cannon if no Crit.

 

True. but the damage I know people hope for is very low if it doesn't Crit. With the other weapons you have a 9/10 better guarantee, Sniper gun is useless if it doesnt Crit. cannon at max does better and for a 3 second reload time than Snipe at non-crit Maximum. And as per my first post. i've seen a lot of games lost because for the moment, the dmg was inadequate because chance wasnt favorable.

 

I use chance and crit damage perks, all epic on my t4 epic sniper at lvl 40 and have a 30% crit chance and when I crit, I get 1600-1800 damage 3/10 times although it feels like it’s more. I am just starting to use an epic EC to go with my 2 snipers (one is a rare at lvl 50 with same epic perks as my epic) bc it doesn’t interfere with bhurts sniper skills.

Only question I have for you all is: do you guys have a lot of opportunities to get burning damage perks? I have been playing for 10months and I have only seen epic damage burning perks once in a leg bonus board which I didn’t get. It seems I have been blessed with chance and crit damage perks like its oxygen and hence I use what I have been given by the gods.

 

happy now that the people actually want a nerf to it?

 

It's just rng & luck. I have kinda similar situation with you - I've got 10 epic sniper crit chance perks and only 2 epic damage to burning targets perks. I see the latter regularly in the raffle tho, just haven't got so many yet.

 

I've had a lot of them 5-6 months ago, but sold them all because didn't see any good in them, lol. Now I have 3 rare cannon perks for burning targets... Not use them much. And I've had (and still have) a lot of crit chance perks =)

 

I would say it's just a matter of opinion. The Cannon does almost as much damage as the Sniper Cannon and reloads much faster, but the Sniper Cannon has a much better range.
It's worth considering that probability favors the enemy team having more Sniper Cannons than your team. Since it sounds as if you don't use it, there are 5 Unfriends who might use one and only 4 Friends who might use one. That's worth noting when a Friend's Sniper Cannon makes your team lose the battle — chances are the presence of Sniper Cannons has won you more games than it's lost (assuming that the Sniper Cannon is worse than average as a weapon).

 

Doesn't need a nerf. never implied it.
