Thread: Squad Leader/Bh temp
I would get rifles 4xxx instead...squadleader is meant to get a better alpha strike, so sniper shot will help a lot.
Have the accuracy group buff, take some pyro, use aim, paint target, called shot, sniper...one dead jedi

Amen to that.
I hit unbuffed Jedi for 4k+ easy with the above combo, except using Volley Fire instead. Never tried using the Accuracy buff instead, I'll have to give it a whirl. Hit a NPC in MO for 12k on a crit with Blaze of Glory.
Good times..

Sniper shot isn't worth it if you don't have the master version. I could be wrong, but I think adv. critical hits harder than improved sniper shot.
Just to add some real World perspective on this..
I was MBH, MRifles, SL xx13 (Paint Target, Blaze of Glory, Called Shot), Novice Medic for a while and whilst Adv Sniper Shot would usually hit for over 3k, it wasn't that consistent. Since I only had Blaze of Glory I couldn't test its effectiveness with Volley Fire or the Accuracy Buff.
MSL on the other hand makes Improved Sniper Shot just as powerful if not more so than Advanced simply from the added Leadership and Called Shot bonus mods. Every unbuffed Jedi I've shot at with an Aim, Pyro, Paint Target, Called Shot, Improved Sniper Shot has been hit for over 4k.
I've hit a Jedi with Improved Aura and Improved Armor running for just over 3k (enough to incap them in one shot), although I do think this was a critical hit - other tests showed damage more around the 2.5k mark.
In summary, MSL with Rifles 4xxx is stronger than MRifleman with only some of SL. You will lose some rifle speed unless you pick up the Technique line.
It's a shame you can't use High Yield on yourself though, it would make it insane.

Well sounds about right, but did you try using adv. critical instead of imp. sniper shot ? I'm interested if the improved version of snipershot is weaker than adv. critical.
thnx for the advice guys. but i am really sick of rifeman, ive been it ever since i started this game, and kinda wanted to try something new, like squad leader. and about what u guys were talking about, the only good sniper shot is adv sniper shot, imp sniper shot is fine but doesnt get that job done, id use called shot, kd them first bleed, critical shot, blind. So thnx for the advice guys really appreciated
