Hot to survive or counter SB sinxs

[Luxajin]

ok so I am a sniper. At first I countered all of them with my 300 flee build so all of the missed, but then a few smart one's started using quad ancient or a ancient drill katar going 99 dex with 2 dex vespers and a few more dex and hit giving stuff.

basically the just cloak and SB whilest in EDP....

so I am thinking should i get higher flee or switch builds

Learn to trap.

2 dex vespers

Made me open a wide smile.

Traps are good if he isn't with a unfrost armor, but if you can't manage to entrap him, your only way to beat him is eliminate him first, a way to do it so is killing him before he can kill you.

Other than that, lol @ getting killed by someone with 99 DEX and deep investing in DEX Gear.

yes i do the traps but he is one smart cookie he keeps on dodging my freeze and ankle snairs. plus I lay them down before anyone is in the pvp room I did trap him around 3 times but out of 10 matches the score is 4-6 me with 4

plus since he is a sinxs he uses cloak so he usually gets the 1st hit if I cant detect him soon enough.

He can backslide off ankle snares I believe, if he isn't getting frozen by traps, he's probably using a Marc, I can only say you have to either get a Quad Stun Weapon (He probably have no VIT) and DS away, alongside with a cursing arrow to make him slow and unable to hide.

sandman is also very underrated as a trap, hardly anyone uses nightmare to try to fight that off

[A92FL0163]

You can try a intoxicating armor, can probably prevent a hit or two.

Cranswitch, put more vit in your build and a sight clip.
Snipers have a decent HP modifier, 0.85, so with a medium amount of vit and a cranial they should be able to tank a hit off.


basically, put sight up, lay a few traps down, always have a cranial shield on and when you get SB'd, tag to bow (use /bm if you didn't already) and start DS'ing.

Try to read what element your enemy uses, it's always handy to have evil druid, ghostring (if you have acces to it), and the 3 elements, pasana, dokebi, swordfish.. fire wind and water respectively.


As a sniper, I can't stress this enough, if you're not DS'ing or attacking, equip your goddamn cranial.

I must say this though, there are Sinxs which can 1-hit even decently geared Paladins, given that he has good equips and is buffed enough.

Don't be too disheartened if you keep dying, not many people have the skill to win someone who can easily 1-hit them.

[Sarin]

Hm..link+lex aeterna means, if SinX is properly geared, that he will do about 25k even against full reduction gear at WoE, if he has Bloody Roar so he will ignore def. If fighting SB SinX, there is only one way, keep him off you. Use boxes of sunlight or maya purple to see his location, lay some traps before he can see them and try to lead him INTO them.

[fluidin]

Yep, and that's in WoE lol.

In PvP it's going to hurt a LOT more.

Is this about pvp? If so:

Detect/IC spam, shoot with curse arrow since curse shows up even in hide/cloak, arrow repell if necessary, keep setting traps in your path so he can't go after you in a straight line. Once you hit curse, you win. Usually I would recommend trying to outtank SB damage, but not happening as Sniper even with a shield.

Tanking EDP SB in PvP. Good luck with that. Even average SinX can oneshot pretty much anyone.

The curse thing would be true against probably 95%-99% of p.server sinxs, sadly. :/ Too few of them actually bother, or even know, to bring RJs or Panaceas along.

Thing is, since the sniper said "2 vespers" then I suspect it's either vesper core or card, if it's card, then Evil Snake Lord Card would totally destroy the curse strategy, if it's core, than they would preberly be too stupid to even bring a panacea anyways.
