Actually as it currently stands sniper is always used as a secondary, just without big scopes because they don't actually provide any real benefit. Shotguns while great during leveling become absolutely useless for the high end content, so right now a typical loadout is SMG/Sniper or Assault Rifle/Sniper.
This is the unfortunate consequence of the way the current high end content is designed. Hopefully the raids will bring a need for more varied roles.
If the meta gets too bad there is always lower level dark zones that we can just live in. There should not be a strong meta at lower levels and you don't level up in the DZ. Unfortunately there is only so much to do in the DZ.
Managed to get my skill power to 45k, health to 60k, DPS to 60k. I am now a buff/heal bot ;-)

I tried running a high skill power build but found i had to compromise to much. Having massive burst damage with sticky bombs etc was awesome but after the smoked cleared and the enemy boss was still standing i decided to focus a bit more on DPS. Playing a build other than pure DPS is fun and i would like to get back to that some day but for now, i like killing things with my Vector really quickly![]()
Had fun in the DZ last night. Ran into some friendly people who healed and rezzed me when i pulled more than i can handle. Also managed to end a rogue who was harassing the friendly locals.

Did a total of 5 challenge mode runs in the last 2 days with randoms. Being a buffbot is not as easy as it sounds. It was actually quite challenging. Modified my stats a little, need more optimisation
