I had forgotten how much of a badass motherfrakker the N7 Destroyer is.

I'm just running around with the Valiant/Revenant. Haven't unlocked the Black Widow yet.
Why would you use Sniper Rifles on a Destroyer? o.O
Well, I could halfway understand fully automatic sniper rifles such as the Indra, but why those two? Sniper Rifles are just so very... un-Destroyer ish. The grenades, the movement speed, the massive shields, the damage boosts... they all point to the Destroyer being a close-to-mid kind of character.
I top the charts every round with my current loadout. I stand back and rain death with the Valiant, and then I just switch to the Revenant and go all-out crazy gunman on everything that moves if something gets too close or I run out of ammo. I've been pumping as many skill points into actual weapon damage talents as I've been able to. I do a lot of damage.
I just got topped. By another Destroyer 2 levels above me. He was wielding a Black Widow.
Oh the day when they bring out a new class with Aerial Bombardment ability...
So when are they going to implement Elcor tanks?
Damnit... I messed up moving my ME3 install to my SSD to speed up the texmod loading...

You don't really need two good close range weapons though. One does the job and a sniper rifle allows for some different options when engaging enemies. Its nice for hack objectives when there isn't good cover and want to pick things off from a distance. I only have my black widow at level 1 but I get 4 shots with the destroyer before I need to reload which is nice.
A mobile turret that can handle long range and short range while taking a beating is a powerful tool. You don't need to worry about cloak or taking a few hits while you line up a shot. I've always preferred the infiltrator in Mass Effect but I like the destroyer because it is the best of both worlds. And I can carry a heavy sniper rifle and a heavy other weapon with no worry of cool downs.

Hey, I am not saying that it probably works for you (all) and fills a niche, I am just saying the Destroyer does not really shine as much with Sniper Rifles. :|
Let's say you have a Valiant or a Black Widow. It is obvious that you want to kill more than just the big boss monsters (then you'd rather take a bolt action rifle to abuse weapon damage bonuses), meaning you want goons and mid-tier enemies. You have multi-frag grenades to clear out clusters much more efficiently. You can turn a vast array of guns into heavy damage single-target or multi-target weapons to compensate. It is just the more efficent way of playing Destroyer.
That said, the beauty of ME3 multiplayer is that you don't really have to min-max to play the game, do well AND enjoy it. I was just surprised since those particular Sniper Rifles occured to me to be horribly sub-par.
Don't think we've had this one on here yet.
