l0welxd Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 I know posting/suggesting this will make a lot of people hate me. Ok here goes. You know Snipers are very 'over-powered' if it is the right term. With its high damaging skill Focus Arrow Strike and Double Strafing especially now Lord Knight's Parry is nerfed. With that said, I see Snipers killing almost all classes with its high speed spamming and high damage. So my suggestion is, to counter-balance this, I think Snipers need to have less REDUCTION in SHIELDS such as: 1. Frigg's King Shield 2. Vote Forsaken King Shield 3. Fosaken King Shield ... Especially on Frigg's King Shield with its reduction of 25% + 35%(usakoring) ... So maybe, if possible since Snipers are SUPPOSED to have no SHIELDS while wearing BOWS, why not make it to like 15~18% Reduction if the character are using bows? Cheers! :)
Rayray Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 I haven't actually seen a sniper deal more than 30-35k on FAS unless I was wearing GR armor and they are using immaterial. I wouldn't call that high damage because that is the normal damage dealt by most classes. Also, no sniper will live once we make their reduction down to 15%
AdLibithum Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 Two thumbs up for rayray.. Its a matter of reducing the damage done by snipers by using different cards on armors.. =) Snipeys are not really over powered.. Plus they don\t have parry, like LKs had.. Snipers don't also have high hp so no need to reduce the def of snipers.
qperteplex Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 I eat snipers for breakfast with my sinx crit or dex. Only time they would be OP for me is that if they are full buffed(with a pally I mean). Armor switching reduces way more damage than what you are asking from them. And I could also use pneuma acc for them as well but the armor switch is sufficient enough. -1
Aerofox Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 I main the Sniper class, and I REALLY disagree with this. If we nerf the shields for snipers, it's like we're pushing the class to be as identical as a Gunslinger.-1
