Recently I have been seeing "wand snipers" hanging out in both sky islands and pool. Wand snipers use wands to pin down the location of the enemies before blasting them with the PSR. This is an extremely efficient technique in which you are able to take down other players quickly and easily (providing that you can find other players using the wand). I feel that wand sniping is extremely over powered as the player can simply hide/camp in a safe spot and slaughter other players.
"Sword Snipers" are generally used by those who have mastered the ability of no scope. Generally they use the combination of Ultimate headhunter and Fire Demon (this depends on what each player prefers) and consists of switching between sword and headhunter for mobility. Most sword snipers prefer mid to short range fighting as this is when their accuracy is at their best. When used effectively, it can take down any player. I feel that sword sniping is a valuable skill to learn and you are less likely to get called out for cheating compared to wand sniping.
Now onto the debate. If a sword snipe player was to fight a wand snipe player, who would likely to be the victor? In my experience the wand snipe would easily overpower a group of enemies, but 1 on 1 is a completely different story. Tell me what you think by voting in the poll and in the comments.
