Full Trapper Sniper

Introduction
Snipers are the advanced class of Hunters. No longer focused on merely bows and arrows nor traps, these men now focus on their lifelong friend, the falcon. When friendship strengthens, so does their power. They also have skills that amplify their bow mastery, as well as piercing arrow skills.

Guide

well first of all my sniper is a pure trapper build so i really dun use any bow at all or of i do
i only use it to charge attack an opponent.

probably some of you encountered me and asks to play tag :D i prolly enjoy tag game coz trapping is like HEAVEN for me lol.

soo much for an introduciton

anyway i will be presenting three builds for this type of sniper which is my favorite type of character.

I. Pure Trapper Build
II. Stand Alone Trapper Build
III. Beat Down Trapper Build

AND THIS IS THE PURE TRAPPER BUILD
since its like late now so id do it by parts

first of all for new people encountering my build, please do try it first. speculations are good but to the extent that you have an idea of how it really works. Second, i am an open-minded person but im a human being too, with that im open to criticism but please choose your diction. third, suggestions are open same as comments and questions. fourth, typos will be reviewed. fifth, problems?errrr refer to first thing :D

everything is from my point of view =)


anyway here it goes


The Build
Note:from this point on since there is a reseter you may need to reset for prior build mentioned
if there is anything that bothers you please refer to the first thing =)

here it goes :D

I. Pure Trapper Build

as what the name states, its a pure trapper build which means it deals totally with trappings.
you get to have all the trapping skills which means you will be more of a support type character.
This is an underestimated build because it doesn't do the damage so this is not recommended for want-to-kill-players and with this build you're not up to using bows but will be considered in some part of the play.its everything about survival that you're up to both you and your team mates.

The Stats

[basic]
30 str
99 vit
60~70 int
[the rest] to dex

[alternative]
50 str
99 vit
50 int
[the rest] to dex


The basic difference here is that it the alternative build has 50 str which will allow it to hold more traps and
hp/sp replenishing items.

this build is for partying not for soloing in pvp. you get to be the disabler of the whole party because
of your traps. the main key of being an effective pure trapper is using the traps to its maximum effectiveness.


Playing Tips
The key of playing this char is using the BATTLEMODE sequence.
since you get to use a lot of things from skills to healing items to item switching.
Battlemode is hard to use in the start but you'll get used to it easily.
do keep in mind that YOU ARE A SUPPORT TYPE character and you will be doing such a lot
of buffs and traps when needed.

things to bring:Traps, traps, traps.and oh did i forget to say traps?
hp/sp replenishing items

anyway.


MVPING[PARTY-PLAY]
MVP-PARTY:NUKERS,TANKERS,HEALERS,DISABLERS

basically, every mvp would have tons and tons of mobs especially when its Doppelganger that's tailing your party. the thing here is to kill all the mobs he gets to summon and disable him from advancing. you should be able to kick a lot of its mobs by using BLAST MINE. BLAST MINE has fire element and has an AOE dmage which by then kill mobs.
just trap em. and poof. MVP dead.

keep in mind that you are trapping these MVP's for the survival of the NUKERS and HEALERS.



PVPING[everyone's fave part]

[party versus party]
You will be on with using your traps dont get yourself away with your team since you're one of the people
who will get your team up and alive which means you will be incharged of disabling the incoming enemies.
you get to set the traps IN FRONT and AT THE BACK of the team, but never ever get your team SQUASHED IN THE MIDDLE because if you do, you including your team will end up to dead.

[the virtue of SPACE]
Space is an important factor to any battle. this gives the nukers[usually wizzies profs and DS build snipeys] to cast their AOE's/DS before close encounter combat.
Ankle Snares and Skid Traps will be used if you are getting chased by by a gang. and eventually using traps would slow them down specially Skid Traps that would push them away. this will be very effective against devotion-type saders/pally's which will eventually cut the devotion-line and would cause a part of their team down. encountering the opponents would be a major problem but the secret there is, SKID TRAPS. Note that your TRAPS DOES NOT HAVE ANY ALLIES which means that it would blow up even if its your ally that stepped on it. set skid traps to the direction of the opponent and tell your team mates to step on it. this would give a 10 cell space between you and your opponents and would give time for buffing.once you get to step on it hastily put ANKLE SNARES/FREEZING TRAP/MINES in the direction of the opponent for prior commencement.

~~twists: switch to bow and arrow shower all your traps toward the opponent and set traps again for your team's safety. or if you have another sniper on the team you set the traps he showers them away.

always keep in mind that what you are doing is to give space between your team and the opponent. this tactic is usually done when your party is is mostly composed of Wizzies and profs.


[Holding The Line]
Holding A Line is something most military men should understand.anyways Im not LOL.This means that all you need to do is set up tons of traps before your team.
The Key Traps now are ANKLE SNAREs,SKID TRAPs and CLAYMORE TRAPs. forget about the other traps. the thing now here is that you will be facing them and not giving them any space to interact.do not be very aggressive though. or you might be the first victim of the whole crowd.

~~Twist: same as what ive mentioned in the SPACING TACTIC. switch to bow and arrow shower all your traps toward the opponent and set traps again for your team's safety. or if you have another sniper on the team you set the traps he showers them away. but now ANKLE SNARE,SKID TRAPS and CLAYMORE TRAPS will be the busting key. Skids would make them split with themselves and would cause them a major disadvantage against your team.

This tactic is most effective in Face-To-Face Party Battles.


ONE vs PARTY
[Lets Play Tag(RUNAWAY SNIPER)]
Lol this is my favorite part. And I usually do this when its ONE[1] VS. MANY.
well this is a little hard to master since its only YOU, NOONEELSE BUT YOU playing with THEM. and this is solely for fun and practice. This is what you do. If you find yourself in a middle of crowd and all of them are going
"HEY YOU COME HERE ILL EAT YOU ALIVE"
"LOOK FOOD EAT HIM :3"
"HEY LOOK A SNIPER KILL!"
"WTH PVP STAT +1 LOOK!"
or worse
"Ice Cream O_O"

dun worry get yourself calmed and use the traps to your own advantage.With Wind Walk and your traps? nah. you'll find yourself sitting someplace else. lol.

RUNDOWN:get them to chase you just run around making sure all of them are tailing you. now heres the catch..
See yourself moving in one direction, Press the TRAP BUTTON[whichever trap you like usually ANKLE SNARE/FREEZE TRAP/SKID TRAP] and while seeing your character MOVING click it on yourself
NOTE:you should do this WHILE MOVING if you dont you are so dead.
with this action the trap will be set one cell after you.and would make them go:
"I CANT MOVE!!!!!!!!!!"
"HEEEEEEEY WAIT FOR ME"
"ZOMG FROZEN"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHH where am i"
"LOL"
just go ahead and fool around ^__^

CORNERED:when you get yourself cornered in one direction and you dont have a HIDE CLIP relax. what to do? SKID TRAP. PLANT IT IN FRONT OF YOU and STEP ON IT!this would work as if youre using BACKSLIDE and do the RUNDOWN AGAIN :D


eventually they would sit back and say
"geezuz tired"
"how gheeey!"
"zzzzzzzzz..."

just let them say those words.
the thing is. YOU PLAYED WITH THEM LIKE PETS RUNNING AROUND :D


you should always keep your concentration since trapping is really a hard thing to do
but when you get used to it. you will be like someone having fun seeing them say "@#$*&@$# I GOT TRAPPED!!"
