Learning the proper timing on a perfect reload as well as the jumping reload is essential to playing the Sniper well, as these mechanics are what allows Solo runs possible with the Sniper. The Sniper's damage just scales so well with the game's difficulty mechanic thanks to perfect reload existing. Think of this way: Snipe's base damage is 250% of the Sniper's fantastic base strength, and a consistent perfect reload pretty much boosts this to 400+%, which is crazy! And Snipe can be spammed almost as fast as your character's jump animation! Not to mention that Sniper is fantastic at kiting thanks to their fast base speed (on par with the game's melee classes) and Military Training's invincibilty+distance covered.
