That's a serious PVE damage potential drop... kind of a shame, but hey, maybe I won't get kicked for not having black spindle now...

Probably more likely now that damage done to these bosses is greatly reduced each round.......it becomes much more important that everyone is doing the most damage possible

I think that'll happen more often now, not less. With less ammo players will feel like everyone needs to have the best sniper possible for golgoroth & warpriest. I doubt it'll be very useful in PoE though.

If you get kicked for not having a spindle trust me this nerf to 1k stare wont change that.

100k stare and sleeper together do about 100000 more dps than just spindle. Even with the incoming nerf if you use those 2 guns together you won't lose any dps on raid bosses. Already tested it.

Edited by ProBMFK: 4/8/2016 7:18:43 PMNot sure how you "tested" this. The Black Spindle, according to a comparison video I just watched, does approximately 30% more damage when consuming all ammo in reserve and without reloads. Now the sleeper does more Damage Per Second for 3 shots but once you factor in reloads it's DPS drops significantly. Missing a sleeper shot is more detrimental than a black spindle shot as well because you lose a far larger chunk of damage to error. The 1k stare does less damage per hit but fire rate allows it to have pretty solid DPS. Unless you have hard numbers that prove otherwise I doubt that combo is better than my current setup with the Black Spindle and equipped heavy. I've also used 1K stare (minus triple tap and casket mag) and Sleeper and prefer the BS over it. The margin of error with sleeper could be huge and no one is perfect.

The sleeper is almost impossible to miss with especially on such a larger target. Mind you its not perfect Untill you've done it a few times. Testing was easy just use 15 shots out of the 1k I stead of all 22. The sleeper holds 12 max those 12 alone do more than spindle. And with the upcoming stability nerfed and scope range increase it'll probably be a must. After 2 rounds with my load out you will do about 500k to 575k.

Lol there is that
