They are mainly support damagers. A good sniper can kill a Templar w/o a sweat or any heavy armor user, even sorc/mage. Coz of their 2 ITD's, 2 DOT's, 2 phy/mag silence shot with short cooldown, 2 push skills, a recoil to bounce them off from an opponent, and an awesome skill that is 2 sec stun with PRECISELY less 16% (not sure) OF your current HP with 16 seconds CD. Believe me, their a pain in the ass in Level 84 below BF Matches. But ofc, at 85. A different story. Now, you just have to choose your story or a history to begin with.
