PAIK should be switched to support class

I think Paik skill it was meant to be used in close range, it is quite useless for snipers.

So as simple as that i think it must be changed to support, which is also already a 3 specialists class by the way.

    @bevvoo She is a Reconnaissance Specialist. The main role of the recon class is to spot enemies. We have 4 recons, none of them qualifies as a "sniper", not if they utilize their gadgets or perks.

    I was talking about gameplay wise adjusments, I'm not a military expert...

    Her skills spot enemies in close range, so i think it would be reasonable to change her to support class.

    @bevvoo You can get close playing as recon, as the idea is that you're supporting your team up close with spotting. Recon class doesn't necessarily mean you need to snipe.

    @ElliotLH Very true but the issue Paik has is the lack of synergy between her short range scanner and her long range sniper rifle proficiency. I personally think she belongs in the assault class.

    @I_DYN4MO_I I'd agree with that as she doesn't fit the proficiency very well. Think there might be a few other specialists who are like that. Then again, I guess that's an unfortunate byproduct of Dice shoehorning classes into the game.

    @I_DYN4MO_I But then her issue with her sniper proficiency is not much different from the LMG proficiency for the engineer specialists.
  • @bevvoo Personally i think it would be good to swap Macay and Paik. Macay would be perfect for a sniper role with him grapple to reach high vantage points and use his passive in sniper duels.

    Paik would be great as Assault because of her scanner, as well as her passive spotting of people for the team because assaults are usually first to go into a fight.
