I swear to god, theres so many glass cannon out there that I think when pvp finally comes out there would be a specific glass cannon only arena for pvp so you guys can play rock paper scissors with each other haha.

Glass cannon is fine and dandy for farming, but endgame its all about pvp.
I know that the dev will somehow tune it so that it wont be a 1 shot do or die fest, but its just ridiculous to see.

The way I see it the only way they are gonna proceed with pvp with this much disparity of dmg vs def is a rating system, and ditch the whole pve dps entirely.
For example,pure glass cannon will have 10(max) attack rating with 1(lowest) def rating.
So, speculatively speaking, it MIGHT not matter if your dps without ss is 100k if a 70k dps will already put your attack rating at 10, which is the max.

If youre so keen on playing glass cannon, at least get your res/armor up to what you think an okay-ish def rating would be, you dont want your def rating to be lowest.

Sharpshooter is very very good, but it has a bad reputation cos it tends to inflates displayed dps.
Its very good the best for opening aoe burst, but thats not all.

The bonus crit ticks start at 0 sec, so you get that 3% crit chance for free, and if youre a skeptic that the bonus benefits you for 1 sec only, thats already 6% crit chance.
Ppl says that its effects diminish by the more crit chance you have, but hey, guess what.Sharpshooter is a BONUS to crit chance.
The so called big diminishing returns only applies for the bonus per sec aspect of the skill, but NOT sharphooter as a crit chance entirely.
Crit chance also have diminishing returns(albeit a smaller percentage), yet you crank it up all the same.Why? Because its a source of dmg and its stupid not to grab it just because you get less increments.

I facepalm at those ppl who are looking to amp up their crit yet still look at sharphooter like its AIDS when they are basically the same thing.

Sharpshooter provides a nice buffer for ppl before they hit up a reasonable crit chance with their gear, but if you look at the glass half full, its a free 6% crit chance, and at a 300% crit dmg, thats 12% dps.

And I always saw "can I ditch sharphooter with my current crit chance" threads, but to be frankly speaking with higher crit chance, you can have a shorter wait time window between burst.
Its all about perspective.
