A scope is pretty much necessary. I use it almost exclusively on the Turian Soldier/TGI for that extra "umph", but it's almost criminal how easy it is to get headshots with the weapon.

I beg to differ.
Even as a console peasant with an injured controller.. it's pretty damn easy without the scope as the shots pretty much go to the center of the crosshair each time.
(check my link near the top o the previous page for some proof ;P)

Sorry but if I can get 20 headshots with an unscoped Saber on a Level 16 Drell Adept who currently lacks 30% of his damage bonus and a 25% headshot bonus (kind of had to spec Cluster Nades decently, PUG lottery meant we had Mental Focuser, no access to Grenade Gear and I always spec Reave and Fitness first) then clearly a scope is not neccessary. Just putting it out there.

Recommedation for a poster who had a tough first go with the saber. To each their own. Just because you don't need it doesn't mean it's not a good fit for someone else.

Use a Destroyer with devastator mode on, put on the new scope and you'll be fine. Rapid fire at something like an Atlas and aim for mooks.

I love the Saber - the kick never bothered me. It's got a kind of rhythm to it that gets even better using it with Marksman.

Reggae = Normal mode Saber
Ska = Saber with Marksman on

I am not a fan of the Saber. The sound annoys me, it's too slow, it has too much recoil, its DPS is mediocre and it has a long reload time that mandates reload cancel. It's made worse by BSN lavishing it with love and praise while simultaneously calling the Valiant a weak gun. Go ahead and look up their stats and you'll see why that annoys me.

But I absolutely love it on a TGI. LOVE. IT.

And I don't even like playing the TGI. Except with the Saber.

Two things I dislike combine into something I find incredibly fun somehow. Space magic I guess.

Oh, I use Thermal Scope and Extended Barrel btw. With AP/Drill ammo.

I agree with everything except the whole TGI thing, but I just don't like cheese, it gives me gas.

I'm also waiting until I get my Valiant to X before I give it another shot, I didn't like it last time I used it but I used it at like level III. And it gains I think the most significant change in damage from I to X of any gun in the game.

Use Stabilization Modules? As was discussed in another forum, you have too use them for something right? It can hardly be worse.

Marksman + extended mag means you rarely have to reload. Plus it's sped up nicely. It's also amazing with hunter mode weapon bonuses. The only class I use a raw Saber on is the TGI, for the same reason as you. Don't know if I'd ever bring it into a plat pug though, finger will get sore.

*cough*

You all DO remember that the original point was I shot 8 times at a brute AND MISSED ALL 8, right?  But now the Saber is super easy to aim and get headshots without a scope?

What is the term I'm looking for here ... oh yeah, cognative dissonence.

I took the scope off of the Sabre, and the Carnifex, too.

[bogsters23]

Just giving my experiences with the gun, Worth mentioning that HeriocMass (A.K.A X-Box Jay, A.K.A The King of Headshots) has trouble using the Saber and I believe he hard-aims it, I generally don't hard-aim single shot weapons like te Saber so that might be worth looking into..

[Heldarion]

Wat, do I really see people dissing Saber here? Sure, it doesn't always hit head when you want it to, but I don't have any problems getting over 20 headshots with it if I try.

I would use it,but I don´t have time for the Saber.

[Ganius]

My favorite AR.
Just use stability mod or consumable.
Or better give it to any Turian, they know how to handle it.

[Lucius Aelius]

The Saber is one of my favorite guns (I use AP mod and Extended Mag), and I don't know what some people are talking about when they complain about its accuracy (actually I do, everyone saying that needs to learn to aim properly, and also wait to fire each shot until the crosshairs have come back together enough that you shoot straight; trying to shoot too fast just makes the bullets fly crooked). It's rate of fire isn't great, but if you can manage that recoil and land Headshots consistently then this gun doesn't disappoint.

Putting it on a character that speeds up RoF makes a big difference (even Hunter Mode's relatively small RoF bonus is enough to get it up to a good speed, IMO). Really though this gun doesn't need it, I use it on two of my Volus and generally get 130-170k in U/U/Gold Pugs, so the Saber is definitely a great gun on its own without any bonuses.

How can people hate the incredible, powerful sound of metal thunk (plus another thunk when you shoot an Atlas/Prime)?

[cronshaw]

It really doesn't need a scope or stability mods (even if you don't use a Turian)
I use the mag increase mod and the piercing mod more often than not
I mainly use it on the Turian sentinel w/warp ammo
Marksman benifits inaccurate full auto weapons more so I don't use it on the Turian or Quarian soldiers
another kit it is good on is the geth engineer.
