If You want to make a sniper, then its up to you to choose what kind of build that you want, and for what reason. For this, I give you 5 types of sniper that exists, and how they reckon in MVP , PVM , WOE and PVP. Any questions or errors or suggestion could also be posted. No flames I hope.



Hybrid Sniper

STR 1 + 19
AGI 72 + 38
VIT 50 + 8
INT 45 + 20
DEX 97 + 64
LUK 1
HP ~9500
ASPD 179

Equipment :

Poopoo Hat
Binoculars
Marc + Tights
Matry + Boots
Raydric + Muffler
2*Zerom + Glove
+10 2*Hydra + 2*Skel Worker Composite
Smoking ipe ;P

The most common type of snipers, having some int for FA (6000+).And with good ASPD,these snipers are good in MVP and PVP but a little less useful in WOE. This type of sniper fully utilizes the archer skill, Double Straffe .And with high aspd and 160 dex, it will be giving out a lot of damage very quickly. They have good hp, and vit to avoid being stunned too long.In MVPing, these kind of sniper can easily own some MVP's without using a single pot / mastela .Thus very economic if used wisely.

FA Sniper

STR 1 + 19
AGI 1 + 30
VIT 68 + 8
INT 98 + 22
DEX 74 + 61
LUK 1
HP ~12000
ASPD 161

Crown
Binoculars
Marc + tights
Matry + boots
Raydric + muffler
2*Zerom + glove
Knife + 4ea fabre card
Smoking Pipe ;P
Guard + Thara

These kind of sniper utilizes the usage(im reading too much dilbert) of FA, which mostly depends on INT. Having 120 int, their Falcon Assault can reach 7200 base damage. This type of sniper is on full defence, and have extremely high hp.This means it's harder to kill, and basically is good in PVP and WOE. With Lex, thisi sniper can One Hit KO most classes.

Falconier Sniper

STR 1 + 21
AGI 98+44
VIT 30+8
INT 1 + 20
DEX 84 + 56
LUK 43 + 43
HP~9000
ASPD 185
Crit 44++

Equips
AOA
Binocular
Tight + Pecopeco
Boot + Matyr
+10 Composite with SS card and Hydra according to YOUR STYLE
Composite + Status card (curse/dark/silence/poison/stun)
2*Kobold+ Brooch
Raydric + Muffler

This sniper, a more wicked version of the "falcon hunters" are purely devastating, with their ranged attacks and extreme crits and auto-Blitz beat. This ISNT a type tat could be underestimated. With 185 aspd, 50 ~ 70 Crit , and about 30% chance to auto-BlitzBeat, this guy is a killer. Ablilty to cancel the fastest Champs in WOE and abllity to inflict status very fast. Sadly, this build have lower hp, so it MUST be compensated with the usage of pecopeco. Dont use marc since it will truely die under SG.
This build is mainly for WOE, and PVP.If this type of sniper want to participate in MVP, then he must be ready to bring a lot of arrow to his previledge. Please note, the falconer normal attack is almost 3 times as damaging as a hybrid sniper DS in WOE with its aspd. I recommend using 1 SS and 2 Hydras

Pure SS(Sharpshooting)


STR 1 + 21
AGI 41+35
VIT 60+8
INT 24 + 20
DEX 91 + 59
LUK 67 + 43
ASPD 172
HP~11000
Crit 52
HP 11k

Equips
AOA
Binocular
Tight + Pecopeco
Boot + Matyr
+10 Composite with 1 SS, 2 hydra, 1 skel or a 2 hydra 2 skel ^^
Composite + Status Card (curse/dark/silence/poison/stun)
2* Kobold+ Glove
Raydric + Muffler
Thara + Guard.



This breed, very rare, is a WOE and high def MVP powerhouse. VERY hard to lvl up, and still neeed support to make it work completely. in PVP, power to control is important.To use the 1.5second delay wisely by either normal shoot or change to guard . SS with 1.5 sec delay is SAID to be a nerf, but this stat abuses the 20%+Crit to its advantage. Able to obtain about 60 crit, with gloria it is able to have 80%++ to blast an area damage about 2800~5000 damage. VERY useful in WOE as it ignore defence, and works well with bard, low aspd means you dont DS, low int means you don't Falcon Assault .Only SS.

Pure AD

STR 1 + 19
DEX 99 + 61
AGI 99 + 53
VIT 2 + 8
INT 25 + 20
LUK 1 + 43
HP~6800
ASPD 188

Arbalest
Ghost bandana
Binocular
Muffler + Bapho Jr
Boots + Male Thief Bug
Tights + Male Thief bugs
Smoking Pipe ;P
Brooch + Zerom
Brooch + Kukre

This is it, the most abusive sniper.This is the most extreme build in MVPing. Reaching ASPD 188 , and DEX 160, even using an arbalest.This build will DS VERY fast.Any job under a full speed normal shot will get FLINCHED until nearly cannot move.In pvp, by using a 4 status bow (curse/silence/blind/poison) you can inflict ALL 4 status in 1~2 second. My line is always lag so I cant see the true speed of this build, but it kills very fast and compensate with its HP (about 7k) . Throw away your falcon and play cloaking in pvpand u will know what this sniper can do
