Snipers are kinda useless now

Ever since the debuff to 80 damage, and a clip of five bolts the sniper rifle has been almost completely useless. It approximately takes an entire clip to take down one guy in PvP, and the only thing it is useful against in PvE is B1s taking two shots to take down one B1, and you really can't take that many out with the clip size of only 5.
This is kind of irritating to those who use a sniper lot, so I'm going to make this recommendation of either increasing the ammo count to about 10 bolts per clip, or increasing damage to about a 160 maybe 130 DPH.
The little upgrades I suggested would make the sniper an effective, but not overpowered weapon. I do not want it to go back to it being 650 damage because that was completely ridiculous, they could be used as AA guns at that point. I just want it to be able to be more useful as a sniper.

Sincerely
Ace

I did, and even if it is that way in-game, 4 shots to take down 1 B2 takes up the majority of the clip. It needs more damage or more ammo to be an effective weapon on the battlefield, all I'm asking is it to be allowed to have its place on the battlefield as an effective weapon

I would say give it like 150-200 damage per shot

Snipers are supposed to deal a lot of damage so a big +1

A good example of a decent damage and bigger mag is the "Dawn of sorrow" having 105 damage and a clip of 10 bolts. A really great sniper in my opinion

The Republic Sniper now does, I believe, eight times more damage to key points on the B2s, and the BX Commandos no longer dodge the sniper shots. The B1s are already easy to kill.

Still it's more about the ammo capacity 2 shots for one B1 with a clip of 5 is kinda shit, it just needs a bit of ammo to balance it out.

That's why you focus on the units, such as B2s, that need to go down before the B1s do. If there are only B1s, you can scout for more troops. Your job is Recon, not Sniper. The Republic Sniper is an added bonus. Do Recon things.
