Introduction
Sniper is one of the second job of Hunters. It is a ranged AoE/DPS class that excels at long range combat. They are generally accepted in parties for instances due to their high critical damage output. Although most of the skills are physical, I focus on magic because I recommend using attributed Bow.
Strength
Best at Mob control due to skills that push away mobs
Good at kiting due to its Beast form that has a chance for fear
High damage due to magic type output
Weakness
Squishy due to its low Defense, Dodge and Resistance
AoE skills deals high aggression and threat to mobs
Needs healer company in instance/dungeons
Notes
1. Str affects Physical Attack and Block; Agi affects Evasion and Attack Speed and Cast Speed; Wis affects Elemental Damage; Spr affects Passive Healing and Healing; Lck affects Hit and Physical Critical and Magic Critical
2. All elemental skills are magical and all output damage will become magical if you are equipped with attributed weapon e.g. fire
3. Damage reduction is affected by Defense and magic reduction is affected by Resist.
4. Evade means that the attacker missed while Block and Parry means that you are hit but you receive no damage because your armor gears took it. This means that Blocking and Parrying breaks armor gears i.e. broken armor means repairing fee!
5. % Side Stats (eg: +5% Critical) > Static Side Stats (eg: +30 Critical) > % Basic Stats (eg: +5% Luck) > Static Basic Stats (eg: +14 Luck)*

Notes
1. for list of pets refer to this pet encyclopedia.
2. Recall the two pets (both level 30 or higher, and have the same star rank e.g. 1 star + 1 star) to be evolve and make sure that both have no equipment/s. Click Evolve. Skill results are random from the two evolve pets and skills might also be upgrade its level.
3. Green has 2 offensive skills and have 2 merge skills; while Blue has 3 offensive skills and 3 merge skills
Blue + Blue = Blue Green + Green = Green Blue + Green = Blue Green + Blue = Green
Equipment
1. Don't worry about gears if your level is below level 40, just wear the best gear you will come by.
2. Although Arena sets can be crafted with 100% success rate, some materials are rare and you'll need some gold for it. You can buy the manual from NPC Thorne and Masuo using arena points from winning Arena Events (I'll update this later for the Arena Schedules).
