i have been sniper/expert rifleman since cr2 began. I have looked for every possible way to strengthen my build. I think now, i have probably got this build to its max..there is not much more i can get out of it. By using All of sniper, down to deadly shot in expert rifleman and then adding little bits here and there including 3 gunslinger moves i have allowed my self to now beat alot MA's or duelists EVEN if they get me in combat. This build, strictly speaking is still a non IL build but has been customised enough to be able to last/win in comat.


It's almost worth coming back just to test that theory

A fine argument, alas knowing your stuff is confined to the Sniper tree only SMILEY

You can impart your wisdom upon me if life proves to be insipid enough to warrant my return, how's that?

Vitality is a very poor choice. It doesn't really work at all, except for a few things - and besides, Initiative isn't helpful for a sniper, who's not going to be fighting in IL. I'd max focus and perception, and throw the rest in the other attributes for resistance bonuses.

Sniper/ Sim Combo is Teh Best, Your Sim Interlocks 'em while you stand back and deliver HUGE amounts of damage

Sniper/Duelist

You do your sniping and if that hasn't finished them off, charge into IL and do the job up close and personal with a nice pair of Magnums *grins*

in fairness, i haven't tried the sniper/sim combo so i can't be sure of its effectiveness...sniper/duelist isn't very effective in pvp at all. You would need to find someone in a 1v1 situation and have them not aware of your presence. Sniper Shot would do good damage but if your enemies out number you then you probably won't get the kill off. Thats why i generally go with sniper/rifleman and a bit of added extras.

Personally just off the top of my head, Sniper/Sim wouldn't be particularly effective either because the damage you do wouldn't be particularly "Huge" unless its someone with very weak resistances. Again Vector and Syntax are different and i haven't had enough of a pvp experience over there to know if everyone has good resistances etc etc.
