    Then I must be ticking him off to no end as I kept cancelling his with my weak Bless ^^

    Thanks, Kariin

    ooh nice build, tanks will love you for this xD just be careful about trying not to get aggro when using your combos.

    also the title is pretty misleading, i think 'angelic sniper' would be better

    Second suggestion regarding the name.....

    I dunno if I should be happy or sad when the biggest issue with my build is the name ^^

    After further field testing last night, I find the mob combo hard to pull off. It works as Storm will gather the mobs and Rain with Bowgun will kill them all. But in a party, by the time bless is done, the mob might be dead from your party's attack. I'll leave it in the guide as it works, but adding a note here to advise against using it for the time being.I have re-skilled mine to suit boss battle, removing Storm and Arrow rain, added Quick draw instead.

    However, once you cap second stat: INT, Angelic Snipers can use Mage skills and mob-farm effectively. One huge advantage to this build is its ability to grow. Magic skills is merely a drop-off tool for Angelic Snipers at the moment, but as we grow INT, we will have a wide variety of Magic included in our Arsenal for DPS / farm.

    Also updated title to include my current level, so more advanced players will have an idea of how many SPs I have. I will continue to update this build as it has officially become my main character now. I hope this will help other player as its usefulness start to show ^^

    I also would like to encourage for those who've partied with me thus far to kindly share their opinions to help me improve. Thanks ^^

    Sanctuary is a very powerful buff. I strongly suggest Angelic Snipers to take on this. It reduced the damage of hp-based attacks. One of Roga's attacks was doing 21 damage to me at full health. His minions were hitting me with 4 damage. Even though his dash and grand-swing still hurts, but it helps you and your team brush off those hp-based moves.

    I've added 2 combos with Sanctuary, but I haven't tested the long version yet. With the short version I draw enough aggro as is, so the long version might be overkill.

    Sanctuary is powerful enough to let you tank, but that's not our role ^^

    P.s. So if a tank dies, yes, an Angelic Sniper is capable of stepping in and taking over should the situation calls for it.

    Special thanks to @Squid for all the training / testing ^^

    In a boss fight, once you have boss so targetted, one normal attack will let you combo until battle ends. So no need to retarget and normal hit every time.

    Else it will be painful ^^

    Hi Saphos, may I know:
    1. What is the duration of Sanctuary?
    2. Is the area of effect at 10m radius at max level?

    Duration is 30 sec. Range is as wide as MD Wall. It's combo-able so you can have back to back Sanctuarys.

    Thank you. The range of Sanctuary is very important for me so that I can build my DPS/Support Mage correctly to harness it's potential as much as possible.
    So I can assume that the range when casted by both Staff and M.D are the same?

    @BK said in another thread that Sanctuary only last 15 secs. I'd trust BK on that ^^

    Sorry for the mis-info ^^

    Oh it's ok. We're still in the process of figuring out the details and exploring combo combinations.
    On another note, I looked through your angelic-sniper and Precaria's War Mage combos. I might mix / combine both your combos to integrate Sanctuary, Bless, Gloria, Shield Bash/Shield Cannon, Impact and Storm for experiment ^^

    PS: Your idea of putting Save effect on Sanctuary + Impact (consec) gives possibility of using Storm while keeping mp use very low :)
    PPS: LOL, time to add amazing Sanctuary to my 1H+Shield too :D
