yep, i love it in pvp. but, one note.. it significantly reduces the faction you gain (and the other guy loses).

i get around 3 faction per kill with snipershot

That is strange, I get 30 and lose 45of the opposing....used to lose 45, I am maxed out. Did they change somehting in this patch....I have not PvPed since the patch.

see my correction above... i was mistaken

Hi Gents !!

So you can only use snipershot in PVP ??

Does it make Damage against PVE ??

Will get this skill Box today . I would appreciate any infos !!

Thanks

it does 50 points of dmg when you shoot an incapped player. i've never tried it against a non-incapped target/player.

it's just for pvp and we're the only class with a ranged Deathblow.

Yup, the precious gives us 30 FP.

Sorry seen LOR 3 yesterday, great friggin movie.

For all of you that say "Sniper shot doesn't do anything in PvE, Boo Hoo, I hate the Devs," you need to do a reality check. What is there to possibly dislike about a ranged DB? My PA's bases are always under attack, and sniper shot gives me the godly ability to DB a ton of folks while staying inside the protective envelope of our turrets. I dont need to worry about running into the middle of a group of 20 badguys to kill fools #1, 2 and three. No more running into a dizzy, KD just because i am trying to get a DB on someone before they can get healed up by a friend. Instead, i can tab, headshot, headshot, headshot, snipershot, tab, snipershot, tab... Snipershot is truely one of the best abilities that riflemen have.

I tried it on a non-incapped player, my guildmate, to test out my "switch gun/sniper shot" macro. Combat log said it did 50 points of damage, not sure if it actually did it or not though, not like it really matters, but if you believe the combat log then it does 50 pts of damage

There is actually a lot to dislike about it. The majority of the players don't PvP. So this skill is of very limited use.

Personally I'd like to see them add a PvE aspect to this skill. Leave the PvP as is. But give it some PvE use. It is after all a level IV skill (1.225 million XP). So it should be able to be used by even those that don't PvP.

My opinion is in PvE make it the same as a HeadShot3 but also does blind. Or something along those lines. A headshot plus a status effect. Single target only of course.

Why get soldier skills without participating in battles. Combat professions are in the game to kill each other.

No. Combat skills are in the game to kill. You have the choice of either killing MOBs or players. The majority of people kill MOBs. If combat professions were in the game just to kill each other than there would not be any need for any MOBs.

Yes, but just a question... Why kill mobs after you're done with the character training? Sure, holohunting or something of the like but that you don't need an extra special attack for. I personally have never tried Snipershot but seen it in use by friends plenty of times and it's absolutely FANTASTIC! I just love it.
