AsoBark Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 Sniper skill? Don't just stay on one spot? TRAPS? Decrease agi? Alot. /swt
-Insane- Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 100 perfect dodge. Those sinxs don't know what hit them. That's how I cleared the whole pvp room once including several rice pickaz and elysium sinxs on mah niggah baby sin.

That's how I cleared the whole pvp room once including several rice pickaz and elysium sinxs on mah niggah baby sin. Who's your baby sin? o_O On topic - If you're doing like 30k DS on them, then they are basically Double dagger'ing. Trap them, they'll backslide, you arrow shower, and repeat. DS them whenever they're open. I'm not too knowledgeable on the Sniper class, but I know most SinX's don't know how to backslide properly. Also, you should hunt some berries too.
geldaz Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 You say you're doing 30k DS,but you can't kill them? That doesn't seem the SinX problem,but yours tbh. I do 18kx 2 DS with my inca and I get to beat pretty much most of the SinX. Learn to trap,decrease agi,etc.
Whitefish Posted August 19, 2008 Author Report Posted August 19, 2008 Geldaz yeah, its about 20-30k dses, since they dont wear usakoring. i dont mean to brag...but personally skill wise, (no equips involved) im one of the best on the server. i havent seen any other sniper use as much as tricks. ive been playing with sniper right when the class came out and even hunter before that. i think its just the berries that are keeping them alive. i use traps. doesnt work. in this server lol traps are semi-useless. ppl arent dumb. magnum break for champs/pnuema/stalkers sight etc etc. whatever i do they wont die unless they run out of berries. and with sinxes. i die to fast to spam berries lol.
Sensation Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 There are multiple options, but the best sniper could handle himself ;] Traps are effective, you're using the wrong ones. Ever thought of skid trapping them AND yourself? It's a snipers backslide (also side- and frontslide). Just a personal opinion, the best doesn't need to say he is the best, it'll be obvious by his/her actions. (Stripping, Ifrit rings and such are a major help too).
geldaz Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 Just a personal opinion, the best doesn't need to say he is the best, it'll be obvious by his/her actions. Agreed. Well,if you say so badly you're the best Sniper arround,I'm sure you can take anyone. I can even tank 2 SinX,kill them easily etc. Traps are usefull. If they ain't working,then it's your fault,not the poor little trappies. Overall,SinX are easy as cake. If you can't kill them,you still need to learn stuff.
Whitefish Posted August 19, 2008 Author Report Posted August 19, 2008 ic.. but really you can tank them? with two ppl with edp?
St. Michael Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 Snipers could use a bit more HP though.
Sensation Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 The HP has been modifed on Snipers, they have the same HP modifier as Sins as far as I can remember =)
St. Michael Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 Then I just suck. You know, what if the status arrows for snipers could be fixed to have 30 ATK like every other arrow?
geldaz Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 ic.. but really you can tank them? with two ppl with edp? Well,tbh,I barely get hit fighting SinX. I kite them alot. If they get to reach me I just usually use 3-7 yggs before they're 20 squares away again. Sniper is hard to play. It's not about doing the most damage,but when,and how to survive for longass times. I've got 200k+++ hp,carrying 150+++yggs,and doing alot of damage. We need a little boost,our elite wep sucks. Other than that,I just dislike Defender and Pneuma.
AsoBark Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 Well,tbh,I barely get hit fighting SinX. Learned through experience. =/
lndalecio Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 Lol, I find thana TSS champs FAR more overpowered than a sinx. With a good connection and lightning reflexes, even a skill-spamming player can't be dropped by a /nc sinx. Practice, practice, practice. Traps can be used in a variety of ways like Backslide, switching directions, or just to plainly stop them in their tracks. I don't know about sniper equipment, but thats up to you to find out.
St. Michael Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 For one though. Snipers cannot kill a Sonic Blow Sinx. No matter how strong unless they could manage to Dispell them before going close combat but as soon as the sinx touches you, you're done.
Terminus Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 Speed pots, arrow shower (use True sight after you arrow shower, it decreases the sprite delay and use arrow shower as opposed to detect because arrow shower will push them back), lots of charge arrow, and traps. I do think snipers should have higher HP modifiers though, SinX HP is wayy too high. Use decrease agi, strip hats and strip weapons... it really helps. If Sensation is telling the truth, then the reason why you don't see their HP modified is because Snipers use more stat points than Sinxs do. They use lots more dex, less str, less agi, and possibly more luck. At least, that's what I'm seeing when people make Snipers.
Sensation Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 190 vit total with 1 tao will result in a crappy 196k HP. Can tank most asura's with that. It used to be around 170k HP, so the modifier is there.
Icon Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 best sniper ..... L2Aim ..... and there's the end of that conversation /lv get a couple spare bows ... make one have strip cards and possibly SK ... (with a snipers dex you should be able to strip in just a couple seconds, if not, then they are fcp'd) and make the other have status ailments ... (most sins will go double dagger because they know u can't coma easily and you dont actively spam spells) and of course have your human hunting bow ... ( :ph34r: ) switch back n forth(but stay effective) and they'll never know whats comin IF you're good with traps then that might be your salvation .. IF NOT then try for a SinX card so you can at least cloak run attack cloak run ... and OMG don't get me started on HP mod's ...
geldaz Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 For one though. Snipers cannot kill a Sonic Blow Sinx. No matter how strong unless they could manage to Dispell them before going close combat but as soon as the sinx touches you, you're done. I suggest you start watching others and learning more. Sonic Blow is even easier. Why? They don't wear a shield,which gives a huge burst on damage. You can kite them arround. I rarely use yggs while fighting SinX,they're just easy. The ones who quickly cloak,I just get a paladin friend to stay in the middle,I use Sharp Shooting on the paladin and it affects the SinX who's cloaked,and I can DS him straight ahead,while with Arrow Shower there's a big delay before you can use another skill,which imo,sucks,and leads you to death. Agreed what Indalecio said. Overpowered overpowered is Thana TSS +Asura hybrid champ.
geldaz Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 Thing is a paladin has defender. How am I sacrificing him? (: and Sharp Shooting already does a nice ammount of damage. Leads the SinX to utter failure (( I think that word exists :o ))
Terroryst Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 I suggest you start watching others and learning more. Sonic Blow is even easier. Why? They don't wear a shield,which gives a huge burst on damage. You can kite them arround. I rarely use yggs while fighting SinX,they're just easy. SB sinx's are basically DD when it comes to receiving damage.
Kittie Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 If I were a SB sinx I'd have a shield on a hotkey handy for receiving damage then just tap the hotkey assigned to the katar when I get the opportunity to strike. I wouldn't assume all SB sinx's don't wear shields...although the more inexperienced players might not have the intelligence to armor/weapon switch.
geldaz Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 Yeah,but most don't really do that ye know. OffTopic: Talk about favoritism huh? I can see boobs on Kittie signature. More innapropriate than a Black man chasing a chicken. >_>.
