Hi basil, my sniper is lv73 right now and am not sure about my skills/stats ill just write all the info and hope for good replies ( btw its not that funded.. just normal equips). Level 73 sniper with a below avg i guess maple nishada. 80 atk. stats: HP:2139 (no hp washes) MP:1380 STR:52 (base without equips) DEX:329 (base without equips) INT:5 ( yes .. my sniper was created on those good ol' days >_>) LUK:4 atk range: 571 ~ 1023. i think a AP reset will fix the int thing, anyways here is the part that i think is most messed up. Skills: 1st job: Max Blessing of the amazon, Max crit shot, Max eye of amazon, Max focus, Lv1 Arrow Blow, Max double Shot. 2nd job:Max mastery, Lv22 FA >.<, Lv5 Crossbow Booster, Max SA, Max Iron arrow ( no points on Power K-B..) 3rs job:just Lv7 Strafe and Lv3 Mortal Blow. Hmm, so please hardcore snipers/MMs help me on this, should i just dump my sniper and continue on my sin, or is it still playable? if there is way for improvement tell me , about the equips, i know i can equip myselfs with 10 atk wg and a zhelm, dep star, a good armour and a better nishada So thats not the problem here, tell me if my skills or stats are ok. and what to do next, Thanks ( ; ! ill take a nap now and hope for good replies. EDIT: i planned on adding a poll to the thread, oh well i forgot. lol

There are some crazy MM's out there that have like 20 base STR equiping Casa's and the such o.o Your SP and AP distribution are fine. If I were you I would consider capping my STR pretty soon though Overall it seems to be good, I'd say go at it :D Equips I cant really say but I would shoot for Z-Helm 10 atk wgs 10+ Dex Shoes 20+ Dex Robe 90+ atk Nishada 2/4+ atk PAC w/ Dex Dep Star that should cover it then :] Hope you have fun ~ EDIT: O crap didn't notice the lvl 5 Booster... Uhm you can always add points into it from Thrust or whatnot to improve that later.

well, only 5 boost, which is pretty important to sniper. I would dump him. its not too late to fix the 3rd job skils through.

@dexless81 & belovvjob :thanx 4 replying & thats the problem, is i have to press a key every 50 seconds. @xHampYx: thanx 4 replying, you gave me hope. @vviibowgirl: see, thats why i havent touched my sniper in ages , is because am worried about the booster thing and its really annoying. so now my question is , can booster be saved? i just thought about totally ignoring Golden Eagle because ill be able to get a ice-eagle at 4th job,so here's the build i just thought about now, the build: ( maxing booster ) Max Puppet, Max blizzard , Max arrow eruption, Max Stafe, Max mortal blow. 6 remaining points will either go to thrust, golden eagle, or should i split it between both? so thats the build i just came up with, now it depends on your opinions, is Golden Eagle that good? can i survive as a Good marksman with no flows, or will my marksman be below avg because it will be slow? waiting your reply guys, and sorry for the extremely long nap Lol ( ;

You need at least 15 Eagle in 3rd job to unlock Frostprey in 4th job. You do NOT need maxed Blizzard though - just get 21. I'd suggest.... Max MB, Strafe, Puppet and AE, 21 Bliz, rest into Booster. That gets you 0 Thrust, but Booster and the minimum of all other skills. Eagle's useful, yeah, but if you never train at Newties you can live without it. I must say, your build is screwy...I've seen worse If you want, you can sacrifice some points from Booster and get some Thrust or Eagle. You'll need at least 16 Eagle for it to be useful, and at least 21 to train at Newties effectively. Of course, I've been at Newties since they came out and I never got more than 20 Eagle, so less is possible. Just remember, if you want to use SP resets EVER, use them now. Best to reset Booster while you've placed 2nd job points into other skills than to shell out 3rd Job SP resets.

When you press a button every second don't you? just don't think it as that way.

LordDreamer 07/14/09 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

You're fine, just gotta keep on pressing booster. Also you should start capping str soon. As for max focus, I never got why people max it :x

ATM I am lv89 and the passed 3 levels were : trained to 75% and died, bishop leeched me for free ^^ friends, 87--->88 was 1 20minute Anego on 2x getting me to 99.66%, 88-89 was training 15% zekus arm leech cause my friend felt bad for not being able to work me in the first run, and training a bit. I'm really diggin' this stuff, especially squids mad fun yo.

@ Kevvl: thanx for the useful info =x damn i didn't know that golden eagle is required for frostprey. Dakaapie thanx 4 replying and i alrdy capped my str at that. EDIT:@ above poster, thanks for sharing. i would like to read your future thread about your sniper ( ; so kevvl you gave me some ideas, i have 1 last question, should i go with your build or SP reset from FA to booster? 15 points which costs 45$ , but i heard FA gets useless and annoying at a low level, if so i would SP reset how many points from which skill should i take? and btw kevvl if i go by your build , i mean maxing MB, Strafe, Puppet and AE, with 21 blizz, ill be left out with 11 points.. so anyways ill need at least 5 resets from 2nd job, and add 10 , that would max booster, but ill be left out with 1 point x_x thats not enuff for eagle, which is bad , i wont get frostprey. so 1.should the choice be using (5 2nd job sp resets) + sacrificing 15 points from a 3rd job skill so i can get my eagle to 15 or 16. OR 2.using 15 2nd job sp resets to max booster , if so tell me what skills should i take points from , FA or Iron Arrow? or how many points from each?

If you plan to use Iron Arrow ever, remove FA. If you're loaded and have cash to spare, sure. I spend that much on NX clothing in 4.5 months, and NX clothing does nothing. But hey, that's me =P My build? That's MB, Strafe, Puppet, AE, 21 Bliz (121 Points), leaving you 30 points. 15 Eagle 15 Booster. - What's the problem?

QueenSavior 07/14/09 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

Ohh ! ic now ! sorry i miscalculated, Lol that's good , i wont need to spend NX then, but am reconsidering, since i won't have Thrust if i go with that ...
