3 Extra Cert Points?

[Biohazzard56]

Hello everyone, I have 3 cert points and im looking for a great cert, keep in mind im half way to BR19. Here are my current certs:

Standard ExoSuit
Standard Assault
Agile ExoSuit
Reinforced ExoSuit
Medium Assault
Sniping
Air Cavalry
MAX (Scattercannon Config)
Anti-Vehicular

I could get Uni-Max as it stands, but im waiting for BR19 to possibly dare I say.....Get Heavy Assault? What would you guys recommend? Also, if you have any other opinions post here.

[EarlyDawn]

Pick up a support cert and ditch the MAX (Advanced Hacking?) or get Special assault

[Incompetent]

A.) It it that hard to delete the top three certs, i don't think anyone doubts you have them.

B.) I'd look into Light Scout, SA, Medical or maybe armored assault.

Edit: Yeah, vick is right, get engy. I'm amazed a char that high wouldn't have engy. Dump the Scattercannon or sniping to get medical too.

[Vick]

You need engineering, really.

[EarlyDawn]

Engi isn't a bad idea.

[Eldanesh]

Yikes how can you stand not having engy/medical?

When I make an alt char thats like the first thing I get after HA. If you get one or the other (or bolth) expect the amount of time you spend alive to go up exponentially.

He's gotta play Air Cav and his MAX 90% of the time so that's how he might be getting by without eng or med.

Bio...

I'd ditch the sniping and get engineering. Sniping without the ability to repair and heal is suicide. With your 3 extra serts I'd nab medical. When you hit BR19 I'd consider ditching the MAX for HA.

[NoSurrender]

personally id get AV and wait til 20 to get AMS. but you could do a number of things.

He already has AV.

[Biohazzard56]

I had medic/engineer before, it was nice. I suppose ill just play around with other certs until BR19.

[GreyFlcn]

Engi definantly

You can use adv regen and health patches for HP

[MidnightDave]

I agree on engy, but I would ditch the max and grab light scout, u would do a lot more damage in a lighting than you ever will in a max, especially with the deci being in AV and everyone and their grandmother having a way to kill u indoors and outdoors.

When I hit br18 im gonna get med cert, not sure what im gonna do with my last two points, maybe ground support, dunno what.

[Rbstr]

Bio if you get heavy Assult i don't know what i'm gona do.

Get engi, don't drop anything

[Batousai]

Hell, get Adv Hacking, BIO :lol:

[Jaged]

Why on earth would you have sniping with out engy or medical? The cert is practicaly usless with out them. If you want to keeo sniping, I would drop scatter cannon, and get engy and medical. Otherwise, just drop sniping.

[Biohazzard56]

I have my plan, as it stands ill get Uni-Max and Heavy Assault, im a MAX Master. And did better when i was in the max than i ever did using Light Scout. Once, i hit BR19 im not shure. Ive done this twice and Heavy Assault never works for me (it did over the summer), but ill probably drop it and get something else at BR19 or 20, maybe Engi and med. Sniping, Air Cav, and MAX never are leaving my charaectar.

Im a great sniper, i go back to a terminal and heal up, not worth 6 cert points to me.

Sorry but i have no problem sniping withough medical.

[Acaila]

Engi, definately.

[Jaged]

How? I guess if you snipe tacticaly in the middle of a battle, but if you actually park youself on a hill and do a lot of sniping, then I am confused.

[Biohazzard56]

Im back to 3 certs, ill probably buy light scout.

[Tremere24]

Med packs :) Med isnt worth 3 certs when you can carry a few in your backpack.

[Rbstr]

3 medikits Pshield and engi is all i need, i've used up to 50 rounds sitting on a hill witout dieing in the middle of a zerg, if med is required you need to learn how to not get hit by counter snipers

[scarpas]

get a support u mangy beast!

I know two great ways to avoid counter sniper fire. They work almost perfectly when you are able to employ them, but that is not always the case.

The first is to just show enough of your head over the hill to be able to see the place you are sniping at. If you are sniping from a base or tower, this is hard to pull of.

The second is to constintly move while looking for a target. The only problem is you have to stop to fire.

What other ways are there to avoid enemy sniper fire? I told you my ways, now tell me yours.

[321]

Heavy assault.

[Veteran]

I wish all my enemies had sniping.

My usual rate of being killed by snipers is about once a week. I haven't been killed by a sniper for two weeks now.

Waste of a cert for your empire. Purely for individual fun.

[Jaged]

A good sniper can get so many kills it isn't even funny. How is a grunt who gets equal or less kills (rarely more in my experience) any more valuable to his empire?

[Veteran]

He can hold territory, influence enemy equipment, destroy enemy deployables, hack out an AMS in the courtyard, kill MAXs, create hotspots in useful locations, etc.

[Eldanesh]

Med packs :) Med isnt worth 3 certs when you can carry a few in your backpack.

Medical is great because then you can save your medkits for fights where the extra 25 hp makes the difference. Medical + medkits = teh win.

[SilverLord]

Drop the Scat max and pick up SA.

Pick up Engy or medic until BR 20 then pick up HA.

[Rbstr]

On Saturday I cleared a hill of ten people firing inot our base in the ammount of time i took to load up all the rounds, *bam**bam* owned.

The trick to not getting hit is to first get in a place wer you are not very visable, to move crouched and only stop to fire, and have Pshield constantly on while crouched so you can take the bullet and see were the guy is to kill him, then back off and let your stamina come back up

[SilverLord]

What were you using Rbstr?

Sorry if I missed the post you made if you already stated what you were driving/piloting.

[Rbstr]

sniping

[SilverLord]

snipingI used to snipe. It was fun until i had to take more time freakin findin a spot than accually killing.

[LimpBIT]

Get The Jackhammer. Get It Get It Get It. You Wont Regret It

[Vick]

Only the newbs who sit on a hillside plinking at other snipers are useless.

I work like a normal grunt but with the sniper rifle for big long-medium range damage, I usually hit once with sniper then switch to gauss for the kill.

Get The Jackhammer. Get It Get It Get It. You Wont Regret It

Now i have been playing this game for eight months and over time i have noticed the jackhammer getting crapier and crapier. Now i know ill get flamed from the other empires for this but i think the devs should stop doing so much to the weapons. The jackhammer blows now and I think it needs just a little more power. Not so much thats its unfair cause as much as I would like to plow through everyone, it wouldnt be as much fun. But i mean come on what is up with the total and complete destruction of the jackhammer. And i KNOW FOR A FACT i am goin to get flammed and bitched at for this and please dont PM me for saying this but you VS and TR need to stop bitching at us and eachother also. We all have our pluses and minuses and for us it WAS the jackhammer but now its only the vangaurd(and the phoenix maybe). But any posts flames or disgrunteled empires please post.
