If you want to have a single sniper up there, sure, go for it. That is not the issue though. The issue is whether or not your whole team should be up there. Removing the relic holders double jump might decrease their survivability. And as far as sniping goes I snipe the tank on Mars the majority of the times I fight it. As well as there are multiple occasions where sniping is viable, just less so in boss fights, which I would say is understandable. Sniping is not always going to be a viable strategy, but using a sniper quickly or for certain targets almost always is viable (ie: the minotaurs in the Aetheon fight that storm the conflux). I apologize for my frustration. It is just disheartening and saddening to me that there are those defending a whole team using the platforms. I still think having one person up there is kind of a wack strategy because they are in relative safety while their teammates are almost constantly in danger, and their ability to defend their teammates and take down the oracles is lessened by their position, leaving the rest of the team to handle at least one aspect of the fight without them. And, having defended one conflux and side alone for an extended period of tine, I can tell you it is a harrying matter. But if that's what you want to do *shrugs* I guess go for it. Maybe I just need to get better From my stand point, over the video games I've played, the purpose of a video game is to challenge the player, not yo challenge the player to find the easiest route (unless you want to play on a lower difficulty). Not how can I avoid this problem (unless that is the aim, such as in stealth games) but how can I tackle it. If the opposite is true and people are supposed to find the place developers didn't think about, or forgot to put an invisible wall here or there then I would say games are in a sad state for me. That is how this issue of a team sitting on a platform looks to me. Just so we are clear, are you defending the ability of the whole team getting on the platform or just a single person, perhaps one on one side of the map and another on the opposite side? P.S. you're not really just as vulnerable there as the adds won't focus on yo and rather opt to shoot at those on the ground.
