Sneak vs Sniper

(1/14) > >>

zuhardu:
So, i spent the last two weeks around Geko mine. I meet all kinds of PKs there, the noob ones, the many ones (also stupidest), the pro ones and the invincible ones. I've got a really good build, i tried a over a dozen chars before i reach this build. Even thou i am a sniper, i faced a lot of close combat chars and won, helped by experince and a very good build.

Every player with some experience at this game knows the sneaky grenade guys in the Geko mine wich are almost imposible to kill. No matter what build you use, you can't take those guys. I also talked with a few friends and they agreed. Sneak is overpowered. BG and throwing guys that use it, are almost invincible. So i understand they could sneak a few hexes to a 7-8 PE biggunner, but i am a sniper, a 10 PE. Nobody should get so close of a sniper, it's ridiculous. I have 10 PE and can shoot those guys only near me. A sniper is a character that should have the best view of the battle, not equal with a 4 PE unarmed character.

So, i suggest that the snipers could use a perk or improve PE so they could spot sneaked chars earlier than others. Like i said, it should be imposible to sneak near a facing sniper. We have no chance against those characters. If so, we will all do the sneaky grenade build and get it over with. Even so, adding a perk for spotting would greatlly weak our sniper builds.

Sorry for my english and enjoy the game. Cheers!

Michaelh139:
I actually have to agree such builds are practicially invincible also but they're somewhat rare in comparison to powerbuilds, due to their extra difficulty in levelling such a build.

zuhardu:
Come on, if you have friends or a faction you know there is no character hard to level. I've got a friend's doctor to lvl 10 near Necropolis just by knocking down ghouls and let him kill them, so no, this cannot be a good reason for those builds to exist.

Roachor:
if you have a problem with it make a sneak build, it's that simple. Not to mention you hit that guy once his sneak is broken until he gets out of los.

Zuhardu just said he spent last two weeks in gecko mines fighting against other pks so he should know what he's talking about. Instead of going along with current settings we should also understand to question whether the current settings are alright. Imagine if zuhardu wasn't powerbuilt sniper but armorer-fighter. How's that armorer is supposed to find skillpoints for good sneak, 180 repair and weapon skill?
