Sniper Skill Build

First of all , I would like to emphasis that Skill Builds are very unique and meant to be cope with gamers' play style. So , take this as a guide line but don't follow it solely.

Before going into the details, I will show you the new 2nd advancement skills for Sniper.

• Charge Shot [EX] – Improved the damage of charge shot. AOE increase by 30% and damage increased by 30%.
• Critical Break – Passive. 13% Chance to deal additional 20% damage for critical hits at lv2. CD 1sec.
• Ambush Point – Summons a flower to attract mobs and most bosses for 45 seconds. Damage can be ignored.

The player in the video shown here doesn't use the following skill build. Please be cautious.

Without further ado, let’s take a look at the top Sniper skill build voted in Korea.

[Archer]

• Twin Shot/Piercing Shot/Multi Shot - As you can see, the player has left Twin Shot at Lv1 and instead, levelled both Piercing Shot and Multi Shot high. I assume that the player did not use Twin Shot as frequent as the other 2 skills. For me, I would level high either TS+PS, or TS+MS.
• Mental Training – This is added high because of Critical Break will consume 0.4% of your MP every time it procs. I would recommend at least Lv1 to keep your MP sufficient.

[Bowmaster]

• Charged Shot EX – Lv11 Charged Shot is required to unlock this skill. The player has increased this to Lv12, it could be due to an excess of SPs.
• Spirit Excellation – Added to Lv6 to maximise the increment of Agility due to better equipment and higher character level.
• Shower/Guided Shot – Maxed Shower, and a Lv6 Guided Shot. Being a Sniper your Magic Attack is naturally low, but how could you give up on such an incredible skill like Guided Shot? In my opinion, I would sacrifice 1 level from CS EX, and max Guided Shot.
• Ankle Shot – Maxed for long binding duration and physical damage. I have mentioned its superiority in my Bowmaster Guide earlier on.

[Sniper]

• Critical Break – Lv1 has 10%, while Lv2 has 13%. In my opinion, you can spend the SPs elsewhere if you think 3% increment isn’t that much.

Physical Bowmasters are a class that highly requires a Hybrid build as compared to other classes. Shower has to be used carefully, same goes for Siege Stance. Aerial Chain Shot is usually used for evasion/distraction, and your only spammable skill under the Bowmaster tree is Charged Shot EX. It is highly unlikely for you to deal high DPS if you only use Twin Shot+Piercing Shot+Multi Shot+Charged Shot EX.

At the moment I could not think of any other arguments for the build. Feel free to comment and ask any questions.
