Sniper Double Strafe Damage;

[kuoch]

Theres tons of way snipers can die, I'll do the list for you;

LK: They have more than 300k hp default, let alone they can do tons of damage with bowling bash. All they have to do is spam bowling bash on us, and while they spam it on snipers, we're taking 2x the damage since we have no shield on. Leaving us spamming tons of yggs.

Sinx: Sinx can easily kill us to, but only if they're a experience/smart sinx. They can easily SB us, or get really close and double dagger us, which also leaving us to spamm yggs

Ninjas: All they have to do is spam reverse tatami and we can't hit them. Let alone they have other annoying skills.

Clowns/Gyspies: They are able to spam AV and Tarot, like we'll either take 5-8k each AV's or get coma taroted. Let alone they are able to have a shield on while doing it, giving them a good offense and defense.

Creators: Have AD, mammonite, cold bolt, if played right, it's a pretty decent class.

Champions: That's pretty self explainatory, no need for me to get into that.

The list goes on, pretty much, every has a good offense and defense. Leaving sniper at a really low disadvantage. It either we give sniper a boost on a better offense so that they can do a ton more dmg on people who has shields on, or give them a defense. I myself want to give them a better offense. But that my opinion.

LOL i think the last 3 posts above this one should sell this topic 99% way

the last 1% should sell itself > >

[Yukumaru]

Agree.

[Adum*]

I say defense, so there's more like actual battle rather than focusing on just spamming one skill.

[zac]

yeh put some good defence in that bow <3

[Anarii]

I'd suggest a shield[1] with probably a +10% damage recieved effect, something like that since they are near useless against profs/wiz/ninja (using a bow atleast..). Or just add around a +20% reduct on the bow.

I agree. Snipers have low offense, and very low defense. I say give them a boost in damage so that they're stronger, or give them reducts for defense. We gave WS a buff when they were low on offense, why can't we give Snipers a boost when they're low on both?

Maybe let's make Ice Bow= same effect as icepick. Thana is really expensive, so it might help new snipers.

[Anarii]

wtf? pick bow sounds tighter. :3

[xBiscuit]

Ice Bow?

Thana doesn't always increase damage, that's why they made skolls.

and I agree. :3

[Ethereal]

I don't see how a "Thanatos-effect" bow will help that much. If people are going to use skolls, then you're resolved to use Incantation Samurai, and the damage will still be the same.

[Adamxd]

I know but its cool idea I guess.

[supream]

snipers can beat sinx with there super traps. just because they backslide dosent mean they can move around. pallies with their defender makes them useless. champs yea. hw even fight if u keep using arrow repel. if not meteor kill. same with scholars. ninjas, not even clowns can kill them easily. lks can be killed somehow with snipers. they can kill stalkers to same as with sinx, just wear gr and immunes. high priests cant do anything unless they are link so just use ranged dispell. clowns, impossible to beat them with sniper unless u get lucky.gs, yea basicly that class sucks with its hp so easy kill.

[Analysis]

cool idea

[Anarii]

and also, rsx> charge arrow.

snipers were good the way they are on low rates of course, but this is a high rates dude, alot of variables have changed and things became rather unbalanced. so somethign has to be changed with sniper, and i think it should be defence or attack. snipers are the under dogs no matter what you say bankai.

[Forum~]

Omg, I don't know why people are still arguing about this...

1) Add Demihuman reducts* (~10-25%).

2) Increase Double Strafe to 400% (creds to Cirrus).

3) Phantasmic Arrow pierces through pneuma.

4) Enable strip effects with bow (if possible).

(*ONLY ON SNIPER- NOT ON STALKER)

DONE DEAL.

Lol, honestly (even though it wasn't directed at me), I've never played sniper for srsbsns PvP. I've played baby sniper and MvP sniper though.

I'd play Sniper again if it was for this! And I know I wouldn't be alone. Lol.

I wont be that much of a noob anymore with those. LOL

[Veracity]

We've incorporated this into the new weapons, so I'm going to accept this since it's been done. The skill itself won't be increased because editing the source can cause other errors... it's too risky to do currently.
