Third tier
Sniper
Sniper is the primary advancement option for Hunters. It gives up on the usage of both traps and Falcon skills to perfect the use of the bow, becoming something of a Physical Caster designed to bring down enemies from a safe distance.
The primary mechanic for the Sniper class is Preparation. Using the Sniper opener skills grants Preparation Counters, each of which enhances the damage and reduces the cast time of their finishers, as well as slightly modifies the behavior of the openers themselves. Preparation comes with one important drawback though: any movement the user makes removes all Preparation Counters immediately.
This creates a situation where the Sniper must think carefully before firing off all of their skills. Is a chain of low cooldown openers enough to take the target down without relying on finishers? Can they reliably get the finisher off before mobs reach them and start dealing too much damage to handle? Handling each encounter requires careful planning and precise execution to draw the most out of each skill.
To aid in this, the Sniper also gets access to a number of utility skills. Tactical Retreat allows a single movement without sacrificing Preparation Counters, Sniper's Resolve provides a massive amount of damage reduction based on the number of Preparation Counters active, and Called Shot maximizes the damage dealt and minimizes the damage taken from a single target chosen by the Sniper.
Sniper is a class that requires careful planning and a high level of execution skill to make the most of, but those that take the time to learn will be rewarded with exceptional damage output at fantastic range.
