They pretty well suck ass for any sniping class.
None of them have decent platforms to hit from safely and even ultimates are hampered by the contours of the map and size, limiting to half at best. Even crimson guardians have safe spots you can sit and snipe 1/2 the map from compared to those four rooms.
They're really more designed for melee than anything, or people willing to play their class like it was made for melee ( ie: mages who suck it up and take the hits to get close enough to use attacks).
And? Haven't you seen the maps they've already released? To name a few:
Upper ascent - Snipe spots galore with a nice mob ready and waiting to be killed.
Lower ascent - There's a reason this place is godly for NLs past 85.
Nightshadow cave - Basically equal to sniping newties.
Stormbreaker cave - Replaces squids. Snipe spots galore.
The old maps favored ranged classes. I agree that the design could have been thought out more, but i can't really complain considering the whole concept of pure spawn maps was thrown together asap.
Besides, ranged classes don't have it so bad at the new maps. Hell nightshadows is amazing for corsairs and archers train there no problem. I'd say they have it better off, since ranged classes/mages have more AoE skills than melee classes do, which is extremely helpful in those maps.
