Snipers! They don't belong.

[Green Mushy]

Cloaking is also a broken mechanic if thats any consolation. There are a lot of things in FF that are a little askew. Some are imbalanced on some levels. I guess we just look at whichever one stands out the most and fix it, then move on to the next in queue.

It is true that we do want classes with inherent strengths, that other classes dont have, so TheKing is right in that regard. I think, in any game that you try to make every class different but equal, u run into that conundrum. Anything that is different has some scientific explanation as to why it is more or less powerful. Maybe its up to us as players to see how something feels and assess it over time to see if its balanced and fair or not? If something stands out to a lot of people as being unfair in some ways, or irritating, surely it has some merit. If you ignore everything in this thread so far, there still has to be a reason that sniper is at the top of the list of things people suspect to be broken. If sniper isnt broken, why do so many people feel that it is? What is the core reason your opposition is not understanding?
