Hey guys, while i was doing rifleman i thought how the actual profession can be improved and i thought may be...
If in the expansion for example since the devs are pretty busy right now with the jedi and smuggler revamp, but anyway in the future it would be nice to see where you can pick a profession called sniper(or a title)
Now judging on what real snipers do first you will need to be master ranger and then to be master rifleman and then by mastering both getting the title of sniper and the skills of which i recon they should include:
- a camo suit like the real snipers do, where the sniper can craft it himself with the help of his camo packs as a ranger. it will allow him to be undetectable unless he makes a mistake to uncover himself which will be mentioned below of how it is to happen
- this suit will allow him to be undetectable even by a player so the rifleman cover and sneak would mean that for example the you can get like few snipers sneakin through about 100-150 meters, under cover with their ghillie suits on which will allow them not to be detectable by tabbing them or be seen on the radar thus they can have a major advantage. Since this will be too great advantage so they will need to be detected somehow. On this occasion i would think of the real life situation where a rifleman will be spotted only if he shoots and is in the sight of the player so if for example the player is like 40-50 meters away and is in the "imaginary" cone of vision the sniper will be uncovered.
- a sniping ability which will be a high damage shot which can only be used for example every 80 seconds, which can provide them the cover and the power of the sniper. So this will work both ways it will reduce the time a sniper can be uncovered and the other is the snipers will not be able to take down 20 people at once since even in real life a sniper will judge his shots carefully.
I might have missed something from original idea but i think this will make a very interesting profession and can be very tactical as well give a significant advantage for rifleman in this case which should be about almost the same as tkm. Thus it will be balancing where one profession will not be dominant.
Of course this as an idea is not absolutly perfect and really i was interesting what other people think of it, since it is gonna change the view on the rifleman and it will allow very small chance of stacking other profession with it since you have to master 2 professions already.
Im really looking on what other people are thinkin and how it may be even improved for greater efficiency in general.
P.S. Please if you intend only to flame chose another topic to do so, im lookin for a well structured discussion where you point out a problem for example say how it may not work and explain it so its plain and simple!
Thank You

We talked about this before and the developers said they aint gonna give us stealth............Unless ...........We Kidnap a developer, lock em in the basement of the rifleman hall, and feed em flaming hot cheetos.
Yes that can work, yes.............
