How You Know That Snipers Are Unbalanced

[Tarille]

i would guess that the cause was boltor having mostly puncture and i was running grineer

 

Might want to double check the primary damage type of the Snipetron...

I wouldn't go with Crit mods on sniper-rifles in their current state. 

You are literally gambling with your life when the most you can achieve is a 50/50 killshot with a lackluster fire-rate.

The snipetron does 100 damage base, the boltor 55, all mods are calculated off the base damage. There is no way that they do the same damage per hit. Also, we all know the Boltor Prime is crazy OP, no reason to compare any weapons to it. The Boltor is an outlier and not the standard that things should be judged against.

Based on these 'maxed' builds, the Snipetron can deal a much harder single shot, but is really lacking in DPS.

that is if you use heavy caliber on a sniper....

[Ze_Kaiser_of_Svaug]

Not using primed chamber on a sniper. For shame...

there are only about 150 in the whole game, and i'm not going to spend like bazillion plat just for a 100 damage mod, sorry

Warframe Builder doesn't calculate Crits or Multi-shot and Dpsframe is outdated, so you might want to check your numbers.

sure it does, not correctly most of the time, it caculates both like multishot om shotguns, so for example the primary multishot will not add 100% damage it will add 90% and every rank you go up will increase the damage by a little bit, same for crit chance, it willl not increase the damage according to the crit damage multiplier, it will divide it by the crit chance and that will be added to your damage, or something along those lines

On some weapons you don't see any change in the stats if you put either crit mod (crit chance and crit damage) on.

You have to check the little box next to the stats (Multi-Shot, Crit and Faction Bonus mods) in order for them to be calculated.
