Aha, point still stands.

Finesse on a sniper isn't the best choice

agreed. sniper cripplers are rubbish this session.

That's the point - they shouldn't be. Finesse was meant to be taken by certain characters, e. g. Solar's post - those that aim eyes/head. Finesse should increase overall damage. Snipers were meant to be nerfed in another way: reduced rolls, defense through higher luck and anti-crit perks, extra trait spot that is a must-take. Browse carefully through Solar's post to see what his vision was.

I think there's a bug in the implementation somewhere. Or maybe Solar left his work half-done... In fact, he hasn't been active for a while.

Basically:
Quote
Before the Wipe:
3 MC, 10 Luck, Better Criticals, Targetting Eyes

After Wipe:
2 MC, 10 Luck, Better Criticals, RBtE, Targetting Eyes, Finesse

Unchanged: critical chance.
Pros: Higher damage. Only 5-10% shots that aren't criticals have reduced damage, but overall the dmg is ~10% bigger.
Cons: extra trait slot taken away(finesse is a must take). Worse crit rolls(+20 before wipe, potentially -10 after) = worse effects - less KOs, KDs, no insta kills(sic!), so everything BG users were bitching about.

You don't have a place for anti crit perk, you just take bonehead to anti crit other snipers, because most snipers have less than 200 hps, and will get killed in 2 bursts by non crit bursters.

So that's another argument for buffing snipers, Tomowolf - BG builds don't even have to take MoS or TTT :/ They just go damage, yay.
Small edit in my previous post for you guys to see how it should work.

Bypass should ignore DR and should happen more often when aiming eyes (you don't have much eyeprotection, even while wearing helmet, don't you?)

DR and DT should depend on armor's condition.
As for the damages taken in any circonstances in my opinion.

And I agree with Edik, there shouldnt be any protection in the eyes, supposed to be the most sensitive part, also harder to hit.
