As a sniper without a Thanatos card, I am concerned I will lose my DPS advantage if SB is nerfed. I've never hit 70k on a FAS without someone wearing skolls (maybe I'm doing it wrong lol!). I'd argue that I'm pretty easy to kill as it is (millions of Meka skulls litter for_fild01).
When I PVP, I try to aim away from a crowd of people if I'm using FAS to duel, or double strafe. I do agree that the distance is kind of ridic, and buggy like Annie said the effects of being shot from across the map, and the dmg doesn't register. I don't know if that can be fixed (I'd certainly like to see it), but I'm not sure a nerf is the right answer (at least to this issue).
