Ok basicly i was planning nothing but sniper tree for my MxO gameplay but seems i can get one or even 2 more somewhat ability tress in there... Queston is which?? Had a friend say go Sniper / Net Hacker route cause if you have anything that roots or pacify's then your good for PvP somewhat..

I am atm level 27 and am a medicore/hardcore gamer for MxO and just started not but 3 weeks ago ... So any suggestions on a route to help with the sniper abilitys is fair in my book's

Curently going to do sniper / net hacker route due to some of the out of interlock and interlock abilitys i get *that effective programming is a + in my book atm for IS regen and other regen =)* but i am open for advice on what i can go or should go to be effctive PvP wise.. later on when im higher level

i think most people go sniper/rifleman because it uses the same weapon, has roots etc. you can't really kill another person in one shot at 50 but maybe if you add in a  couple other rifle abils it'd work
#36300003285 07/21/2006 06:15:29 Re:Sniper / ???? combo.... decision's decision's
Sniper/rifleman is the way to go atm, simply because you can bring a 50's health down to half in a sniper shot and then an extra 500 down straight after it, plus the root and the 3 round burst which again is quite devastating
#36300004325 07/22/2006 05:26:02 Re:Sniper / ???? combo.... decision's decision's
Also if you go sniper/rifleman you require the same abilities in previous trees for both of them so depending on your level you might have space for some awakened abilities too. You wouldn't be able to do that if you did sniper/network hacker because more memory would be used up as they require different disciplines.

Sniper+Any other gun tree is good, especially if you manage to work immobilizing shot and three-round burst into your loadout. Just make sure you're using a sniper rifle and not one of the other normal rifles.

Ok thanks for the insight everyone.. Also would the first Hacker ability which if im correct was "Execute Program" stillb e good for sniper / rifleman combo.. due to it has a very good innerstrength and health regen if im not mistaken *not sure on health regen but innerstrngth i know is one of the two it gives*
#36300005976 07/24/2006 20:19:10 Re:Sniper / ???? combo.... decision's decision's
I always load execute program.  It makes a little bit of difference.  XD

I'm not sure why people haven't posted this in the main forums, But according to the NoRepro. ANYTHING thats says "InnerStrength Regen Rate BONUS"  on it, DOESN'T DO ANYTHING AT ALL *YET*. Yet , being the key word. don't waste the memory slot for it. You don't need it, it doesn't nothing.

The reason being is there are no abilities to 'ACTIVATE' IS regen, so therefore you get no bonus from it all. this includes clothes. Its a big waste of time. dump it.

Load up all of sniper, down to expert riflemen, and then fit SMGs down to the sliding volly.

Now you can take an opponent down by about 50% with a power tactics/line up the shot/fire arms skill shot.

Then if you can, keep hitting power tactics shots, go for the 3rnd burst.

If you get interlocked, stay on power tactics, and if an outside party get sthem dazed?

Sliding volly, which does a very decent amount of damage.

Thanks Night and VoX will the regen thing be implented soon if not then ill do what you said and just take it off untill it is regening *whenever that will be*
#36300011522 07/31/2006 01:58:41 Re:Sniper / ???? combo.... decision's decision's

don't try and snipe then interlock because 9/10 times the person who gets sniped usually just tries to run, best to use some out of interlock moves tbh

#36300013901 08/02/2006 05:56:11 Re:Sniper / ???? combo.... decision's decision's
I tend to stay away from interlocks as much as possible.. Which was why i was thinking of that hacker route due to incresed evasion of interlock and such..
#36300014281 08/02/2006 14:23:01 Re:Sniper / ???? combo.... decision's decision's
well you can use Gaussian Blur, it's low lvl enuf so that it don't make load a 10 mem slot ability. and it gives 20 or 25% evasion
#36300014569 08/02/2006 19:50:39 Re:Sniper / ???? combo.... decision's decision's
Ok jotted that down to put in note pad for later. Thanks again every been a great help

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?

Thanks everyone for the input.. Think from now on if i have anything sniper related ill ask Yasamu. But am still open to suggestions and tips with tricks.. Wish to now also know which sort of Stat buffs like invis movment speed or ballistic accuracy bonus's that are handy for the sniper
#36300039089 09/02/2006 03:52:28 Re:Sniper / ???? combo.... decision's decision's
just use gunman stats. focus and percep maxed and put the rest in vitality for the initiative bonus.

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*

#36300049665 09/15/2006 04:58:13 Re:Sniper / ???? combo.... decision's decision's

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.

#36300049719 09/15/2006 06:56:35 Re:Sniper / ???? combo.... decision's decision's
Ill give all those cominations a shot at. Though atm im loving Sniper/Rifleman, Couldnt hurt to try others.. Will see what turns out to be good for me or PvP wise.
