St. Michael Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 Well, right. My statement was incorrect. I meant, for one, you cannot live through a Sonic Blow SinX if attacked by it just once, thank you Kiels. Snipers don't use shields either and SinX could spam Backslide in order to run away from you and appear somewhere else. If a SinX is skilled with backslide I believe they have the ability to count how much it'll take to get to you while you move and reach you with Backslide.
geldaz Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 Your statement is wrong again. To start with,snipers can survive Sonic Blow. Ifrit rings and get assumptio. Well,I don't need assumptio and I survive 22k sonic blows. And while they backslide ,they're not cloaked remember? You can arrow charge. If they have RSX,you can use Shockwave trap and kill their SP,most likely they use FBH so in 1 trap they ygg. SIMPLE MUCH.
Whitefish Posted August 20, 2008 Author Report Posted August 20, 2008 ok thanks :D for the replies :D heh i just learned a couple of new things. just to aim at madox and squal leon dudes by that phrase in my post i didnt really mean to brag. i wanted to say " i know what im doing. I dont suck at sniper. please dont flame(think im total nub)" rofl so you guys dont have to go around trying to tell me im a nub. to insane squal goes like "dude you pvp in non donor" "and soo...?" i cant quite remember but "only noobs play in non donor. you dont even have the equips." lol i dont even know you guys rofl.
-Insane- Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 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. What does that have to do with playing skill, seriously? It's just good gear and ygg spamming. Yeah, go do that on lowrate where you don't have your precious f king set and whatever. That'll work. EDIT: Oh yeah, before I forget. 22k SB is NOTHING. Try taking a 400 str EDP link SB, with two goldenrings, possibly a thana and an incan. Seriously, I can hit 80k SBs on LOWRATE. And you're saying they only do 22k on highrate?
Gilgamesh Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 What does that have to do with playing skill, seriously? It's just good gear, ygg spamming, luck and ping to the server. Yeah, go do that on lowrate where you don't have your precious f king set and whatever. That'll work. Fixed.
kuoch Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 best sniper ..... L2Aim ..... and there's the end of that conversation /lv mmm, i never seen L2Aim before, but imo i would say Conor would be the best sniper, even for a non donation.
geldaz Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 @Insane I actually do play a sniper on the OFFICIAL iRO chaos. And Sonic Blow was nerfed here due to it's utter-overpower,so quit your utter-failure-flamming and bragging. If you want to duel a good sniper get your ass on iRO chaos and duel Uchiha Martin.
Terminus Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 22k SB is nothing for me. Generally, SB sins do about 32k a hit SBs on me. My suggestion against SB sins: Go reflect.
Terminus Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 Well, I know personally that I am unable to withstand 352k damage (meaning 22k SB spammed twice). I don't think that (most) snipers have enough HP to withstand a reflected sonic blow and leave the SinX dead and.. them.. not. Lol. Considering if you have 2x Orc Lord and a 2x Dev Cloak, I'm sure it is enough to reflect kill 90% of all SB sins. Most SB sins don't even have over 250k hp. If they do a 32k SB, it is enough to suicide. Also, I don't think a sniper can survive a 352k SB, so spamming it twice won't be an option. The Sniper would most likely suicide if the sinx is a str whore.
Zeitgeist Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 What does that have to do with playing skill, seriously? It's just good gear and ygg spamming. Yeah, go do that on lowrate where you don't have your precious f king set and whatever. That'll work. EDIT: Oh yeah, before I forget. 22k SB is NOTHING. Try taking a 400 str EDP link SB, with two goldenrings, possibly a thana and an incan. Seriously, I can hit 80k SBs on LOWRATE. And you're saying they only do 22k on highrate? You mean you can stage 80k SBs on low rates.
Impulse Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 80k SB in low rate is pretty hard to believe.
AsoBark Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 I can barely reach 100k sb's here randoming people with thana. Unless I ask them to go double devs. :>
Walshy Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 KAY NUMBER ONE RULE FOR KITING SNIPERS. Moonlight flower card + traps + sin x card. You are virtually untouchable unless some sin x gets smart and thana Soul breaks you.
Kittie Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 @ Using a double OL and double deviling: Unfortunately people don't make the same mistake twice (at least I hope not; although Eraiser is a good example of someone who consistently dies from reflect...) and will probably change their attack strategy once they suicide. You better have FCP on at all times *cough*Vortex*cough* to prevent that Assassin from temporarily going to a WS compounded dagger (which almost every sinx owns) and breaking your armor, then going in for the kill - which will most likely kill a sniper with double devi and no usakoring shield. If the Assassin simply switches back to Katar and endows using BOS instead of Enchant Poison, he could attack faster than you can switch armors and garment. Of course, hopefully you can arrow charge if she/he's not wearing an RSX which will buy you time. ^^ It's really all circumstantial.
-Insane- Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 I thought you meant 22k SB *total* not 22k per hit... Well I can get 8k per SB hit on lowrate, not 80k per SB hit. Also geldaz, I'm not implying you're a bad sniper, I'm just implying that what you SAID has nothing to do with actual playing skill, just gear. -Insane
lndalecio Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 In the end, its not about elements, armor switching and whatchamacallit. Everything else is narrowed down to how ready you are to virtually every kind of attack variables and situations. There is a huge pain in carrying everything and not being able to simultaneously use every single one of those pieces. Actual battles usually takes split second decisions, and you have to do it quickly ON THE SPOT. Because once the grill gets cooking, if you can't stand the heat then stay out of the kitchen. SB sinx is a very predictable character, although not too much variation with a DD sinx. They EDP, they element, cloak, then run up to you before they can SB. If you move faster and anticipate those movements, then chances are that you're going to be right with your decision. Do not always try and guess their element or weapon of choice and instead, try and focus on your game plan. I mean, SB sinxes already had half of their body in the grave just by knowing that they're gonna battle with no shield and not to mention the use of one of the most suicidal skills around. Brace yourself and unleash every trick up your sleeve. Usually, outdamaging and tanking certain skills isn't always the way to go. There is no restriction to cheap tricks, and usually its advised to use every option available to you. Observational skills combined with hand and eye coordination is what makes a player a winner, that's for sure. ;D
-Insane- Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 Yeah, for example if they BoS or use enchant poison, pop on argiope card or swordfish card. After that they do 0 damage on you, go "lolwut? haxx0rz" and get owned. -Insane
Anarii Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 LoD bow might help, maybe? Hold the sinxs off long enough till their FCP is out and they're done.
Sensation Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 Swordfish card doesn't null water element. As for SB sins, sight + charge arrow, I know, it's a miracle, but it works. And FCP has nothing to do with LoD, stripping vs status alignment.
-Insane- Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 No, argiope card nulls poison though. Swordfish just makes them hit really low, so it's still useful. Especially if you have leaf cats / marse / valk shield (if you have a 1 handed sniper bow), for those extra 50%ish water resist. -Insane
Anarii Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 LoD's coma? And when FCP is out you can pull out SK bow and kill..I guess.
» Pat Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 Marc does, if I'm not mistaken. Marc only adds 5% resistance to water. Oh& Feed me pl0x? Boredom @ work ftl.
