[b]Sniper:[/b] Must have great aim (unless you bodyshot because snipers are OP) [b]Shotgun:[/b] Must have great aim and get close (hope you can dodge bullets from top tier primary's like TLW, MIDA, Doctrine/Arminius, snipers) Shotgun reticle to body is no different than sniper reticle to head, when you think about it. Shotguns were never low skill weapons. They feel the same to me. But right now snipers > shotguns. Because of the forums incessant nerfs I've had to take up the sniper, and I'm now even more scary in the crucible.
