Just throwing it out there the guy is an MKT not a sniper.
Also only a scrub would open with a punt on a full HP target, it's all about the Suplex > Throat Cutting > Deadly > Leg Sweep = Dead player at your feet. 3-4 seconds, good game.
In my experience on Vector, Quiksilvers give good enough defense that, when coupled with some more enhanced clothing, maybe even some Hacker shades, I get a good enough amount of time to kill someone as an Arbalest/Artill. Now, I may not be a MKT primary, but I assume after a suplex or punt, and a few throws, they'd go down in just enough time with some quiks on, and any clothes that increase defense/thrown damage.
