I've got a buddy who wants to play as a sniper. He's worked on a Zero, but the problem is he doesn't like Zero's action skill at all. And honestly, he's not the best player, so a more defensive skill would probably be better.
I was thinking he'd probably like playing Axton. He could either use his turret to give cover to himself or he could longbow it across the battlefield. But having looked through Axton's skills, he doesn't seem to have much that really helps a sniper.
Does anyone out there have a suggestion for a good sniper Axton build?

Axton has plenty of stuff that's useful for essentially any weapon. Gunpowder tree gives plenty of gun damage, recoil reduction, fire rate. Expertise is also very good for sniping. Supplement with points in the other two trees for passive defensive boosts/turret upgrades.
Longbow turret can, depending on what you're fighting, be a decent decoy so you can line up criticals while enemies focus it.

I know you didn't ask for this one, but Maya actually makes a fantastic sniper >.> She has a skill that gives a 60% damage buff if the enemy is above 50% health, meaning it can 1hko much more easily. Her Phaselock not only lifts enemies into the air, preventing movement and exposing them, but that also comes with its own buffs, which include fire rate, damage, health regen, etc.

The best part about this thread is the huge string of removed posts at the beginning. Never change internet.

http://talent.87bazillion.com/2/siren.php?050000000050050055000505500500Sniper Maya. You could change a few things around pretty easily depending on taste and whether solo or co-op. But the main skills are Reaper, Accelerate, Mind's Eye, and Wreck (and Chain Reaction if you're not using an E-Tech rifle).
Maya makes a really good sniper, actually. That bullet speed increase shouldn't be underestimated, either.
