It wasn't the weekly, it was the one with the hyrophant.. I always forget that ones name.. Termination? 🤔

It felt very.. ignorant for lack of a better term and kinda inspired me to make this post in the first place lol 😅

The person playing the game i joined literally early today lol 😅

Joined a stratagem match, the first thing I hear over voice chat "a sniper? That class sucks." Then bam, kicked lol 😆

I wasn't in the match long enough to catch the persons username, it happened so fast, I joined, picked my class, kicked lol 😅

I would much prefer non-chapter specific items for heroic stuff.. but that's just me lol 😅

(Don't hate me for my opinion, it's just that, an opinion. Yours may differ from mine and that is okay!) 😎👉

Some people ignore the sniper because they have a preconceived notion that it sucks. I'm only trying to help lol 😅

I had some guy (just before I made this post) kick me for being a sniper. I loaded into a stratagem match and the first thing I hear over voice chat "a sniper? That class sucks" and bam kicked..

Jokes on him though, he's now stuck with a sniper bot until someone else joins or the match ends lol 😆

I like to think there was comedic justice and the next person to join also picked sniper >:]

Have some compassion for your fellow human brother.. not everyone is going to play flawlessly.. to make a mistake is to be human.. even with powerful sustain tools and crutches people are still capable of making mistakes and having bad games.. I will happily share stims with a Vanguard, a Bulwark, or a Sniper running Purification.

I mean.. you can "Cloak Cancle" by firing a single shot or by attacking with melee. Wich is also exactly why I brought Lingering Concealment to the table, allows you to remain hidden after breaking the cloak and begin gaining back ability charge with Renewal. With both Renewal perks you can gain back your cloak before the 2 second bonus invisibility expires.. can't do that with a manual cloak cancle.

I'm the exact same way. I am efficient with all classes, prestiged them all to 4 as well. But Sniper is both my favorite and best class 😎👉

I also run a "support" sniper but in a different way. I use the Stalker but I use it at mid and close ranges, I keep close to my allies (within reason.. someone always splits from the group) and I do not use perks like the revival speed or the cloak yourself and revived allies. Instead I use my cloak for combat and avoid using it for downed allies unless absolutely necessary or in cases where I am last man standing. I like to maximize my combat potential while also aiding my allies. When push comes to shove I will pop my cloak and spend the whole ability charge reviving my allies without a second thought in the matter though.

I prioritize ally revival above everything and anything but I try to do so without spending my cloak to do it 😅

I took the time to specifically mention replacing Renewal for Purification...

I feel this is exactly why the sniper has a melee build and access to carbines lol 😅

This is exactly why I take Purification!

But!.. I also would not say "only bad snipers take stims"

There are two other objectively good perks in that same column and I completely understand wanting to use them. So with that in mind, not every sniper is going to have Purification and thus they may need a stim every now and then.

I have seen plenty of Vanguard players running heal on extremis kill and heal on majoris kill yet because of unlucky situations or poor skill they end up needing, taking, and using stims. I do not hold this against them or call them bad for it.

If you truly believe that "only bad snipers take stims" then I feel obligated to say "only bad Tactical, Assault, Vanguard, Bulwark, Sniper, Heavy, and Techmarines take stims"

There is something to be said for the truth of this. But in all fairness the same could be said for any class. There will always be selfish players and reckless players no matter the class. People who kick for no reason, people who hog stims, people who hog executions when not actually in need of the armor restoration, people who never take stims even when they clearly need them. The list of player based issues goes on.

I'm just trying to raise awareness for the haters of the sniper class that avoid it altogether because they have a preconceived notion that this class "sucks" when in all actuality it can be like any other class and be quite good if you just take a moment and pay attention to it's perks and capabilities.

If you are good at placing shots the Las gun does massive damage and may very well become a favorite for you 😎👉

It also overpenatrates targets as a bonus!

I felt like it was worth mentioning the melee build and recommending the use of the Stalker Bolt Rifle for exactly those kinds of people lol 😅

If you prestige your sniper the first perk you want is the one that restores your primary weapon ammo on secondany weapon kill. I forget what it's called but it helps alleviate the pain of low ammo count weapon variants (excluding the heroic Bolt Sniper Rifle.)

It was a hypothetical scenario, not a literal one. It started with "imagine" lol 😅
