Finally got enough catalysts to go Superior on Defender's Bastion and verify the theorycrafting that went into this build.

I have 2x Rolling Barrage + 2x HO: Centriole Exposure++ (Damage/Range) in Empty Clips, Bullet Rain and Piercing Rounds ... and yes, that means I needed a minimum of 18x Centriole Exposure (farmed and stockpiled from the Seed of Hamidon hunts in First Ward) in order to combine 6 of them into 50++ to achieve this result.
In game, looking at the Enhancements window, the range for Bullet Rain and Piercing Rounds reports as:
Range (base): 80 ft
Range (enhanced with
Alpha Intuition Radial Paragon): +62.8% (80*1.628 = 130.24 ft)
Range (global set buffs): +32.5% (80*0.325 = +26 ft)
130.24 + 26 =
156.24 ft range ... on Bullet Rain and Piercing RoundsFor reference, most Sniper powers for a variety of archetypes are 150 ft (base) range Single Target attacks.
With the build posted above, I've got
TWO "sniper range" AoE attacks (1 TAoE, 1 Cone!) that can hit up to 16 Max Targets within a 15 ft radius of my $Target (Bullet Rain) ... and up to 3 Max Targets within a 5ยบ Cone, which at ~150 ft range is ~12 ft wide at the far end (Piercing Rounds).
Which means ... my Defender can participate in Underground Trial Bomb Runs as a "sniper" ... even though I'm (only) using
PISTOLS ...
Yeah ...
