Now do your math for a sniper ( pr, ib, p+t, bh, any legendary) they all have better dps, by a lot, with or without crits, best dps vs atheon (barring a team of gjeelies= less than 17 secs) is bh IF you can land all crits.

If u can. But for people who are bad shots. Fusion rifle is the best dps. Not everybody knows atheon ' s crit. Cus it's a little wonky sometimes. I've done vog like 90 times or something like that and his crit is still annoying for me.
