If you respec your Sniper + t2 infantry to go hero, you spend a lot of money for only a small advantage.
E.g. Warden :
- You loose 1 shield skill point (insignificant)
- The best helmet you can wear is the open trooper helmet (+31) instead of t2 inf helmet (+37)
- You can shoot lightly faster.
- You can hold your arrow for a longer period (not useful, why wait before shooting ?^^)
- You loose between 750k and 928.6k (hero + respec + assist xp)
Since snipers often die from headshots, head armor is very important so I woud say that, for now, there are more disadvantages than advantages.
A craftable helmet for snipers could solve the problem, I'm trying to find a good OSP model which could match with the bear armor, but it's not easy... especially as devs prefer models done by the community
(apart from this, the main reason why many players have afforded sniper hero class is that they become 'true heroes of swadia'...)
