Sniper Equipment

[SkelHD]

Hello, i recently forged my first weapon, PARIS, because in every game i like the snipers...

Now that i have this weapon, which warframe is better for me (dont say only Banshee xD)? And which pistol and melee?

Thanks to all who'll help me. :) (And sorry for my bad english T_T)

 You should pick a favorite and play that. Much better.

Exactly.

You can use snipers/bows with any warframe. So yea, do as mentioned above ^, see which one fits you better

[Vilemyre]

Could go with ash. Since stealth and silence would suit him very well.

 

Or loki if you want the huge damage buff with invis.

 

However its best to just pick one you like and stick with it.

 

I wish I still had frost.. Waiting to get the prime bp.

Invisibility's damage buff only applies to melee.

But like Blatant said, choose whatever frame you like. Sure, Banshee makes the most out of snipers, but they are still powerful without Sonar.

I'm currently running Loki with the Snipetron Vandal as a run and gun sniper.

Well Banshee is the best with a Paris thanks to her Sonar ability. It can also suit a Frost as well especially in defense vs Corpus/Grineer. But just play the warframe you enjoy the most, the Paris is a great weapon, just make sure you have a secondary that can take care of close quarter targets like kunai or maybe even Afuris ;)

For snipers I recommend mid-distance weapon. Afuris is nice, single Furis is more ammo efficient though. Try also Bolto/Akbolto. Or, tbh, even Aklato should do the trick pretty nice.

As for meele - it can be anything. Dual Zoren are nice, because you can use them to move faster (Zorencopter). Same with Dual Ether and Dual Cleavers.

Speaking of frames... Banshee is definitely nice, because she's got Sonar. Ash and Loki are also good choices, because of invisibility and damage multiplyer while invisible. Those two are stealthy frames, and since Paris is a silent weapon you'll be able to go undetected. If you'd like this style of gameplay, I recommend you acquire Shade (cloaking), Kunai or Hikou, Despair if you'll get them (silent secondary with nice damage), and pretty much any meele. Glaive or Kestrel wold be the best choices possibly, sinse they are silent and throwable.

 

Edit: Oh, and Rhino with his Roar. +50% dmg is always a cool thing.

I usally play as sniper so I can help you with that. I can start by saying that the Paris bow is not what I would consider a sniper weapon since it excels at mid range and the travel time of the arrows make it not so efficient at long range. Personally I love the Paris in the first few levels and then I understood it couldn't compare to Snipetron or even Vulkar. As for Warframes, you don't want to hear it but Banshee is definitely the best to fill the role of sniper since she benefits from skills like Sonar which scan enemies within radius and marks their weak spots for extra damage which are much easier to hit with a sniper weapon. Sonar provides the defense necessary if someone gets too close and Sound Quake is simply awesome in terms of stagger and damage dealing. There are obviously alternatives to Banshee but none is what you can call a true sniper. Any Warframe is able to fill that role but if you are asking "what's the best" then it's Banshee. As for sidearms, I usally use weapons that allow me to shift position if I don't have a good spot or angle from which to snipe. In my case I use Despair which allow me to be flexible within the battlefield if snipping is not possible. You can also use Bronco Prime, I heard it's really good in close combat (never tried it). Melee is just personal choice I guess. I use Orthos because it's flexible and I'm able to quickly take out a great number of enemies with it if the situation so demands it.

 Glaive or Kestrel wold be the best choices possibly, sinse they are silent and throwable.

If you have a silent ranged weapon why would you use a second one?

Kestrel is viable but Glaive is pretty much crap. Kestrel can buy you time while reloading (throw to ragdollize - then shoot them) I would use either a big hit (gram/scindo) or a movement-booster (dual ether...zorens if you don't have the others)

 

In a while you'll change frame/guns anyway in order to progress so don't get to attached to it.
