I can't believe that i finally learning this build. Sniper has always been my rival (been only a mage from the start untill now) and i don't hate you guys xD
Now i'm helping a friend making one. So thanks a lot @Precaria and everyone else behind this build for sharing it with us. Now I can make an awesome teamwork with my friend. And since my dps mage is quite tanky, my friend can snipe without worry

Hello, i wanna ask something

If we are using elemental arrow with our bowgun it will increase 25% dmg to correct boss element right?

But how if I use elemental WBG + elemental arrow, what dmg will it have?

Btw which one is the best?
- WBG Cr+8Cdmg4% + Elemental Arrow
- Elemental WBG + Dagger
- Elemental WBG + Elemental Arrow

Thanks ^^

I've read that elemental damage stacks, so your damage will definitely be OP. Never tried it my own as I'm not BS and I'm really poor as to acquire elemental bowguns for testing lol.

Idk.
The lastest maintain removed my ability of
Moeba > Smoke Dust (save) > P.Shot (swift) > Snipe (smite) > Hard Hit (consec) [MP cost: 100] (no sword equip)
That was all I figured out.

I wish I could tell you here @Samm, and @Tomato who also asked too, but that's part of getting good at it, this build has always been OP by itself but it became so popular that now there's so much competitiveness and for surpassing other snipers you require top notch equipment and xtals, you can also choose sticking with the mana saver combo and deal moderate damage without worrying about mp, or stick to the heavy combo which is what I do the most, with this one you'll require timing and patience to analyze when its best to cast the snipe, a lot of factors are involved on this. I've already given the highest dps build currently possible in the game, if I detailed the technique to always hit so high then nothing will be left. The only key I'll give about this is to watch the behavior of your auto-attacks.

Ah that's a very big clue.. thx @Precaria (love your builds!)

Btw I was wondering which additional gear would be better long term:
War helm (crt focus)
Chignon cap (+6 dex)
Any input?

Long term... War Helm until we get to around CRT 110-120, then it can be replaced with Chignon cap or any good Dex+/Atk% gear available in that time.

I've been calling my friend Tesla~ Tescaria because I can't Outdps with 2H anymore because now she knows how to hit 50-70k back to back. TnT
I shall miss the days when she use to get a lil salty... it was cute to me. xD

But anyways..
Is the switch from C777 to C888 worth it or no?

To be the best sniper you'll need the best build and the best equipment.
This guide's main focus are the builds. There are 3 different yet great builds I've tested so far. (I'm using a variant of the #3)
Requirements:
- Be level 70 or above.
- Achieve all skill point emblems.
- Read EVERYTHING carefully before using your skill points.

Pure Sniper
DEX > STR
(Bowgun / Bow)

Shot Lv3
Power Shot ~ 5
Moeba Shot ~ 5
Paralyze Shot ~ 5
Smoke Dust ~ 1
Bullseye ~ 5
Snipe ~ 10
Shot Mastery ~ 10
Sneak Attack ~ 10
Long Range ~ 5
Quick Draw ~ 10
Magic Lv1
MP Recharge ~ 10
Survival Lv2
Safe Rest ~ 5
HP Boost ~ 8
Short Rest ~ 5
MP Boost ~ 10
Battle Lv2
Attack UP ~ 5
Smash ~ 5
Critical UP ~ 10
Dagger Lv1
Throwing Knife ~ 1
(Total SP used: 125)
Main combo: Moeba > Snipe (smite) > Throwing Knife (consec) [MP cost: 500]
1 MP combo: Moeba > Smoke Dust (save) > Snipe (smite) > Sneak Attack (consec) [MP cost: 100]
Weapon: MHB (for bow users) or War Bowgun with HQ Wood Arrow (DEX, MP & Accuracy) or Bush Knife ( Weapon ATK & Physical Pierce %)

* This is the classic sniper full DEX damage-grower build which after maxing DEX, will increase STR as secondary stat for additional stability and critical damage % (both of these are hidden stats), this build can switch from bowgun to normal bow to inflict status ailments.

Survival Sniper
DEX > VIT
(Shield / Survivability / Maze Runner)

Shot Lv3
Power Shot ~ 5
Moeba Shot ~ 5
Paralyze Shot ~ 5
Smoke Dust ~ 1
Bullseye ~ 5
Snipe ~ 10
Shield Lv2
Shield Mastery ~ 5
Shield Bash ~ 5
Shield Cannon ~ 10
Force Shield ~ 10
Magical Shield ~ 10
Protection ~ 1
Magic Lv1
MP Recharge ~ 10
Survival Lv2
Safe Rest ~ 5
HP Boost ~ 10
Fighter's High ~ 1
Short Rest ~ 5
MP Boost ~ 10
Sober Analysis ~ 1
Priest Lv2
Bless ~ 5
Gloria ~ 6
(Total SP used: 125)
Main combo: Moeba > Smoke Dust (save) > Shield Cannon (consec) > Snipe (smite) > Shield Bash (consec) [MP cost: 200]
{Make sure to stay at a distance of more than 3 meters while casting so Shield Bash doesn't activate}
Weapon: War Bowgun (Critical Rate + Critical Damage) with Relief Shield (HP & Guard Rate/Power)

* This is the tankier sniper build, bosses will hate you as you'll rarely die (no more 1 hit k.o.) and its excellent for maze runs because of the swift HP & MP recovery inside battle and healing/defense buffs, a well balanced build.

Ultimate Sniper
DEX > CRT
(Max DPS Hybrid / Post-Magic Sniper)

Shot Lv3
Power Shot ~ 5
Moeba Shot ~ 1*
Bullseye ~ 5
Snipe ~ 10
Shot Mastery ~ 5-10*
Long Range ~ 5
Quick Draw ~ 10
Magic Lv3
Arrows ~ 5
Javelin ~ 5
Lances ~ 5
Impact ~ 7
MP Recharge ~ 1-10*
Martial Lv1
Smash ~ 1-5*
Sonic Wave ~ 1-4*
Survival Lv2
Safe Rest ~ 5*
HP Boost ~ 1-10*
Short Rest ~ 5-10
MP Boost ~ 10
Sober Analysis ~ 1~10*
Battle Lv2
Attack UP ~ 5-10*
Smash ~ 5
Critical UP ~ 10
(Total SP used: 125*)
*Skills with a star and this color mean that its up to you to decide how many skill points you spend on them or which of them you want, but you can't have them all so focus on the black and red colored skills first, then decide which of the purple ones suits your priorities.
On my first tryout I sacrificed MP Charge (have it at Lv1) to get HP Boost, as snipe spam will steal all aggro if there's no tank (provoker). This way surviving is easier, and with the aid of Vita Plus II, its possible to solo decently.
After battles just switch the bowgun to a staff for faster charging (set it on shortcut).
On my second tryout I got MP Charge to Lv1 too but sacrificed Safe Rest/HP Boost to get Sober Analysis Lv10, ATK UP Lv10 and Shot Mastery Lv10 now that it's negative side effects have been fixed. This version is more dps focused but has lower survivability so its necessary to have a Roga xtal on the armor.
Also, as an important note: if you plan to use Sonic Wave to get more Breaker Rank %, don't get Moeba Shot because you won't use it. If you don't care about Breaker Rank % and want to use Moeba Shot don't get Sonic Wave and leave Smash at Lv1. Sonic Wave (without knuckles equipped) at Lv1 has a range of 4 meters, and at Lv4 it's range increases to 8 meters.
Just choose what's more comfortable and better for your playstyle.
Combos:
1. Heavy Snipe Combo:
Impact > Snipe (smite) > Sonic Wave (consecutive) [MP cost: 400]
OR
Impact > Snipe (smite) > Smash (consecutive) [MP cost: 400]
{highest dps combo due to magical/physical balancing and fastest casting repetitions}
2. Mana Saver Combo:
Sonic Wave > Impact (save) > Snipe (smite) > Smash (consecutive) [MP cost: 100]
OR
Moeba > Impact (save) > Snipe (smite) > Smash (consecutive)
{this + Quick Draw = near endless spam and aggro stealer}
Weapon:
War Bowgun (Refined)
Sub-weapon:
High-Quality Wood Arrow: this is our main sub-weapon, adds +20% stability, DEX +2, MaxMP +50 and Accuracy +4%.
Army Knife: optional for the long run or when using the mana saver combo, as this dagger adds MaxMP +100.
Magic Device: optional for mini-bossing (insane hp mobs) and only recommended if you choose MP Charge level 10 over HP Boost. Equipping a Magic Device will increase Impact's damage and tumble rate and reduce your recharging time = faster sniping, but you'll sacrifice about 15-20% of your ATK.
Elemental Arrows: [Tempest, Ice, Fire & Ceramic] collect them all! As they add elemental damage (+25% damage) increasing your DPS against bosses with the respective elemental weakness.
Elemental strengths: Wind -> Water -> Fire -> Earth -> Wind... Dark<->Light
Important Facts:
- Setting the martial skill Smash or Sonic Wave as combo closers lets you repeat your smited combos without triggering the skill unless you are at 1 meter from the mob for Smash and for Sonic Wave 4 meters at level 1 and 8 meters at level 4, saving valuable time that translates in faster combo repetitions (more dps) and the possibility to move away faster from dangerous aoe attacks (saves your life).
- Sonic Wave has a -25% tumble rate while we aren't equipping knuckles so it may not tumble so frequently but as a combo opener it lets you occasionally tumble down the target from afar to have enough time to cast Snipe with your mana-saver (1mp) combo without being reached by the enemy.

* Powerful hybrid build that exploits critical rate and reduces the target's resistance to physical damage with a magical attack before the snipe shot. Impact has a chance to Tumble the target (break circle), it also reduces Snipe cost to half which translates in shooting more snipes and with a magic device equipped as sub-weapon Impact's damage and tumbling chances are doubled and you'll save 2 seconds of MP charging time (if even needed), however the most recommended sub-weapon is the High-Quality Wood Arrow (dropped by Arborgon), if you plan to follow my Infinite Snipe Build, this makes MP charge (in-battle) and AMPR gear completely unnecessary. For this build you'll go full DEX until it is maxed out, then start increasing CRT as secondary stat. A flexible yet full over-powered build that's highly demanded nowadays.

**In this thread you can find out how to snipe endlessly (yes, near infinite mana) using the build #3: "Ultimate Sniper". http://toramonline.com/index.php?threads/the-infinite-mana-sniper.5615/

Notes:

Any chance of recovering mana is essential as that translates on uninterrupted snipes.
Mauez xtals are great for the pure sniper and ultimate sniper builds but not for the survival sniper.
Critical Rate + is better than Critical Rate %, and Critical Damage % is better than Critical Damage +.
Choose wise when buying your bowgun. Refine your bowgun! This improves a lot your damage output.
Use elements to exploit bosses' weaknesses, these can be found in arrows or set as a stat to the bowgun.
Take advantage of proration (damage drop-off), auto-attack while the mages cast their storms, then snipe.
The target will lower it's resistance to your snipe shot!

Have fun sniping!
