Are they ever going to fix sniping in The Division?
In theory both hunters faith and dead eye sets look good on paper but are garbage in pvp (skirmish/last stand)
Dead-eye must remain scoped after killing a target to get the bonus.... so you have no view of the battlefield and leave yourself vulnerably to people running up behind you. yea yea run a 5 piece with reckless chest. but why should someone who chooses to run dead eye not be able to get a set bonus when every other class gets that choice.
hunters faith, you have 10 seconds to land 2-5 hits on a target on maps that are full of cover in order to get your full buff 100 stacks? well why doesn't strikers fully loose their 100 stacks why does it tick down slowly? no balance there.
Then there is the fact that with a 11500 firearms build (which is needed to do any damage as a sniper in pvp) you have no survivability fair enough my stats are in firearms. but how is it that with booster shot, mobile cover buff it still takes 3 shots to down someone with head shots with a weapon that does 170k base damage? (yea im at crit hit damage cap) oh they are running 9k stam i get it but 9k stam with super high dps able to melt someone instantly makes no sense.
and then our 12x 15x scopes only actually zoom us in about 2 feet more then no scope? really okay so as a sniper you need to play close quarters with a million pieces of cover for people to duck and hide behind (I'm okay with that) or the fact that they just run the extra 2 feet to be on top of you and melt you. even when you land a full mag and 1/2 in them with just under 12000 firearms you barely put a dent in their HP and thats with a SMG.
Also you are force to be on ground level while sniping since there is no high ground with good line of sights anywhere in the last stand maps... unless you climb on top of a truck and stand on the roof hoping to get a clear line of sight before you are seen. and thats only for hunter faith since deadeye needs to be in cover!
yes im having a bad day in game but and I'm butthurt atm. I just don't see the balance between these sets. Maybe i should just roll god set striker and drop/pop support stations all day long... (which BTW they need to fix that crap with the support station that is not how it was meant to be played its a station not a pop heal)
