Please critique my Poor Mans Sniper template!

[Xajorkith]

Sniper spec with quite a few toys, nice dex increase with hard hitting bow and Cold/ Slash capped. All items either easy to get or cheap on the CM. Please note that once I have my Belt of Sun weapons I switch the belt out for the Mausekhmet Embossed Belt.

SoM is too expensive for me to get 3/3 is around 18p I have 2p, and being a sniper I avoid Melee and the ablative doesn't help with being nuked....

GoLM too much camping, have tried camping it but whenever I got the encounter it never dropped.


Any advice on resists or item choice would be much appreciated.

Don't you lose the sun weapons when you die?
If so, that's very annoying and I wouldn't advise you to go for it.

Thx for the comment, I'm currently running my hunter like this as a test and I don't mind it.

The weapons are lost only if you die at night. If you die at night you can't re-summon the weapons and have to wait for daylight. There's not too much difference waiting for daylight and waiting for the 15 minute timer.

I use Fools and Crafted MP spear while I wait for Sun weapons, these weapons have similar stats to the Sun ones. I also don't die very much

The sun bow is worth it:
My Crit caps.
Fools Bow 897 (maybe a 80 pt bleed too)
Braggart' Bow 959 (no additional damage)
Sun Bow 1071 (maybe a 60 pt dd too)

A couple of days ago, using sun bow, I two shot a 49 Vampiir for 925 + 1132 = 2057

Being a hunter and going for a perfect template is more costsome then it's worth if you ask me. Your template seems like a good one, bearing in mind those things you said about being a sniper n all.

Ref the Belt of Sun weapons.... A nice tip when u die and release and its Night Time in Upplands is to quick port into svasud keep they have different time zones that are pretty much opposite to each other and 95% of the time you can summon weapons there and port back.
