Sniper Ratio Question?

When playing as a Sniper in Destiny, how many Sniper Kills do you end up with compared to Primary Kills? Also, what is your go-to primary? I'm just learning to snipe. I just had a decent outing (by my standards) with 13 kills: 3 Sniper, 10 Hand Cannon. I was first on my team for most of the match and finished 2nd, and I think 3rd overall. Is that actually "decent"? Slso, does 1/3 as Sniper Kills and 2/3 ass Primary Kills sound about right for the constantly moving Destiny style of Sniping?

    I use Praedyth's, and usually 25-35% of my kills are sniper kills, half of which on average are headshots. As for a primary, I run with Vex or VoC, generally (unless there is a specific bounty). The number of sniper vs main kills is going to depend on your playstyle. My ratio of kills more matches yours, but I've seen people snipe only opportunistically and others camp all game in the same spot and snipe. I wouldn't recommend the latter, personally, but there is no specific "ratio" that you should be aiming for. Just experiment, find out what works best, and refine. EDIT: If your playstyle is more of the careful, calculated variety, watch the gameplay video I posted yesterday: http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/90598780/0/0 I get an Unbroken, and you can see what times I snipe, what times I stay back, and what lines I cover for my team.
