Destiny |OT23| This Train is Bound for Mercury

I'm trying to get more into sniping, and since I don't have Low Grade Humility or a Spear, I've been trying to find my best choice, given the guns I have.

Then I saw Zoba using an LDR. So, I checked out my LDR, and I was pretty amazed. I got it from a blue engram a while ago, and I've pretty much used it for Boomer duty and nothing else. Didn't even look at the perks when I was upgrading it.

It has:

• Sightsys/Shortgaze/Ambush
• Unflinching
• High Caliber/Send It/Perfect Balance
• Firefly

I know Final Round would have been ideal, but I remember seeing Robinson using an LDR with Firefly last IB and getting double and triple kills with it.

My questions:

• Shortgaze or Ambush? I've heard good things about both
• Send It or Perfect Balance? I know Send It increases the size of an enemy's hitbox, but if I'm not going to be popping off headshots right away, might PB be better?
• Finally, how good is this sniper for PVP? Should I stick with it, or hold out for a perfectly-rolled Spear or LGH?

That was really nuts. I had never done Skolas in a way not involving: "SHOOT GJALLARHORN UNTIL GAME OVER."

LDR is pretty great in PvP but to be honest I only used that Firefly one because I didn't have anything else at that time. Triple kill was glorious though but they were all low on health and stationary. I think Zoba already mentioned this somewhere, but I would go for Shortgaze as it seems less jumpy and works better in combination with Unflinching. Also, Shortgaze should provide more aim assist. For the middle perk I would probably go for PB, more stability never hurts.

And for your final question: I used a perfect roll Spear in ToO, got some great kills, but have been outsniped by the LDR. Just use it until you get a LGH with a perfect roll and see how it feels for yourself.

This list has probably posted a lot but if you want to see how the snipers rank, with perks and aim assist:
