Tier 6: Custom Loads is the end of the tree, and it adds the ability to add any elemental type to your sniper rifle when zoomed in (there's a scrolling wheel mini-game type thing involved). Tier 5: Nothing specifically sniper-related here. Then you get a choice of either I Never Miss (Each hit with a Sniper Rifle adds a stack, two if you crit, each stack adds crit damage with sniper rifles, but you lose the stack if you miss) or Wait For It (adds a stack each time you miss, when you hit the stacks convert to extra damage).

Tier 4: Magic Bullet is a one-pointer that regens health for you when you crit with a Sniper Rifle (closer = more), plus it also creates a healing nova at the location of the sap you killed, healing your allies (including second winds!), and that one scales opposite (further away = more). Tier 3: A one-pointer called Silver Lining (kill with a critical hit, add a bullet to your magazine). Then there's also Warning Shot (when you miss with a Sniper, you get a few seconds of bonus to Fire Rate, Accuracy, Critical Hit Damage, and Weapon Swap Speed).

Tier 2: There's a one-point skill called Long-Range Killer that gives bonus damage based on your distance to the target (farther away = more damage). Tier 1: Only The Best gives you +20% bullet speed and +1 magazine size for sniper rifles (per level). With the DLC, Aurelia (the Baroness) has 'The Huntress' skill tree that has a lot of sniper-related goodies.

Claptrap: lots of exploding, friend buffing, and randomness, but again nothing specifically targeted at sniping.

I switch to shield when things get too close. That said, I'm currently playing her in a sniper-heavy role and it's working fine.

Athena's aspis (shield) is great, but you can't aim with the scope while it's active.

Even so, I prefer Wilhelm's bots overall since for me sniping is about staying as far from the bad guys as possible (cowardice). Nisha starts the game with a sniper rifle and pistol, suggesting that Gearbox thinks of her as a sniper class. This makes her a good sniping class, though sniper rifles are unfortunately excluded from the damage bonus part of her perk.

Nisha's auto-aim in Showdown is powerful, with auto-lock on critical spots when you aim down the sites.

All classes have have buffs that are useful for snipers in general (increase damage, reload, shield, etc.).

No class has a skill that specifically buffs sniping or sniper rifles.

The other classes can work perfectly well as snipers: (In Borderlands 2, Gaige the Mechromancer's Deathtrap robot was great for the same reasons.) That's most valuable in solo play since humans will watch your back in co-op, but even in co-op Wolf and Saint can help in the same ways. Wilhelm's Wolf drone helps with both of those needs, while Saint keeps you alive if someone does sneak up on you while you're scoped in. Also, since scoping in interferes with situational awareness, it's nice to have a buddy to protect you from attackers who run up without your noticing.

The longer you keep them far away, the longer you can stay scoped in. When sniping, it's useful to have a buddy who can occupy distant enemies while you take them out. Wilhelm the Enforcer is a good choice for us cowards-er, I mean 'snipers'.
