As the title says, this is just a mini-guide about some builds of a sniper that i know of and i have used before.
I referred these builds from a 70/70/40 server (ArcanaRO)

[sn1] …… Falcon assault Build
[sn2] …… Strafer Build
[sn3] …… Agi, Superfast Sniper or Blitzer
Introduction
Snipers are mainly used for hunting. They are easy to level up, Have a good DPS, and Elemental Advantage (arrows). People may think that snipers are “soft” and easy to kill but in reality, it depends. If you are a beginner and still don’t know what class to create, this may be the best one for you. Easy to play with and best for PvM.
[sn1] Falcon Assault, The MASTER TRAPPER
Basically, this build is used for WoE and PvP. Falcon Assault ignores is likely to ‘ignore’ defense and damage is affected by int. Has high hp and defense and can’t be killed easily. When participating in WoE, your role is a trapper.
Equipments:
Upper Head: +7 Feather Beret
Middle Head: Sunglasses[1] or Binoculars
Lower Head:
Armor: +4/7 valkyrie’s armor[1] and evil druid card
Left Hand: +4/7 Combat Knife or +10 main gauche and four fabre cards
Right Hand: +7 valkyrie’s shield and thara frog card
Garment: +7 wool scarf and raydric card
Footgear: +7 tidal shoes and green ferus card
Accessory1: rosary[1] and smokie card
Accessory2:
Status this build doesn’t require dex to hit the enemy. have at least 100 vit, make a 70-80 int, some str for pots, traps, and gears for swapping. remaining for dex, or add them to vit, int or str. Those are the main stats. This buld requires you to step on a “Poem of Bragi” because of your low dex.
[sn2] Strafer Build
Basic build, this class can be used to hunt (PvM), MvP and PvP. Double Strafe is affected by atk and atk can be raised with dex and a little by str (i think 3 or 5 str =1 atk, idk xD) . Agi is required to spam DS. If you are a Strafer, you need to take advantage of your enemies’ element, race and size. What do I mean? There are Elemental Arrows/Bows/Cards capable of adding damage against certain monsters. There are also Race Cards and Size Cards.
PvM Equipments:
here, i suggest you use the Cruiser Card set for starters. (cheaper)
Upper Head: Apple of Archer
Middle Head: Binoculars
Lower Head:
Armor: Sniping Suit and anolian card
Left Hand / Right Hand: Composite Bow[4] and cruiser card
Garment: wool scarf and dragon tail card
Footgear: tidal shoes and merman card
Accessory1: gloves[1] and alligator card
Accessory2: gloves[1] and zerom card
*for the composite bow, there are still 3 slots available so you may try to experiment on damage enhancing cards depending on what enemy (race, size, element etc) or cards with special effects.
PvP Equipments:
strafer build is hard to use in pvp. You’ll easily be overpowered by your enemy because of your low defense and hit points. Snipers are very hard to dress up for pvp so you may try experimenting and using your own.
Upper Head: Apple of Archer or Feather Beret
Middle Head: Sunglasses[1] and marduk card
Lower Head:
Armor: sniping suit[1]
Left Hand / Right Hand: composite bow[4] and three hydra cards + skeleton worker card
Garment: wool scarf and raydric card
Footgear: tidal shoes and matyr or verit card
Accessory1: glove[1] and zerom card
Accessory2: glove[1] and zerom card
*there are people who uses elemental armors so silver arrow or oridicon arrow is the best choice here
MvP Equipments:
there are MvPs who uses silence or other annoying status skills. With Two strafer snipers, you can lock the mvp. Sometimes three snipers are needed, depends on the mvp’s movement speed. You should bring SP pots too, or try to bring a professor with you (soul change).
Upper Head: Apple of Archer
Middle Head: sunglasses[1] and marduk card or binoculars
Lower Head:
Armor: sniping suit[1] and porcelio card? lol
Left Hand / Right Hand: composite bow [4] and 3 abysmal knight cards + a minorous card
Garment: wool scarf and raydric card
Footgear: tidal shoes and verit card
Accessory1: glove[1] zerom card
Accessory2: glove[1] zerom card
*this may suck, but i tried bloodied shackle ball and shackles combo versus and MvP and dang! it’s effective! I did 12k double strafe against Atroce lol. you may also use cruiser card set here. it’s a lot cheaper :) for me, best card combo to be compounded in your weapon is 2 race cards, one size card and one element card.
Status: agi and dex are the main stat for strafers. if you need sp, spend the remaining points to int but if you want weight (and some addition to atk) put str. be careful in distributing status points. sometimes, you waste them unconciously. When I distribute status points, I always make sure that I used up all of them, 0 remaining.
[sn3] Agi, Superfast Sniper or Blitzer
OK. This is my favorite build. Spamming DS is harder than simply clicking once on the enemy lol. YES! I AM LAZY!!! Why is this my favorite class? Because it is more useful in hunting. It doesn’t need sp and has high evasion so less burden when hunting for itamzz. Not just for hunting (pvm), this is also useful for MvP!! I mean MvP lock. Agi snipers can MvP lock mvps ALONE. Whaaa?!! How? I’ll show you. This is my build for 190 aspd sniper! (max aspd hell yeah) This is Without foods. Just Sniper buffs, Blessing and Increase Agi. The ONLY downside in this build is that you need a lot of arrows. Don’t worry you can bring quivers LOL so basically, NO DOWNSIDE (pvm/pve only)
Equipments:
Upper Head: ghost bandana[1] or bunny top hat and nightmare card
Middle Head: Sunglasses[1] and another nightmare card
Lower Head:
Armor: pantie[1] and ancient mimic card
Left Hand / Right Hand: composite bow[4] / elemental bow[1] / Ixion Wings[1] / orc archer’s bow
Garment: undershirt[1] and bapho jr. card (you may try crest of the rider[1] set but it’s expensive)
Footgear: black leather boots[1] and male thiefbug card
Accessory1: vesper core 03 or brooch[1] and kukre card
Accessory2: vesper core 03 or brooch[1] and kukre card
*You will notice that most of these equipments are obtained/generated through socket enchanting but they’re not that hard to get. These Equipments are cheap and this is tested. This works. Party / Guilds hire me when they mvp hunt lol and its very fast when hunting. Just seeing the aspd makes you more excited hahaha
*we tried this against BEELZEBUB. 3 SNIPERS WITH THIS BUILD (to lock), 1 SNIPER w/ DS BUILD, a support HP and a Pally. we put evil druid card in armor and switch when we need to heal and also to avoid stone status. You don’t need to worry against his mobs, they will all miss trust me :D
*i also use this build when hunting valk shields alone (10% drop fack)
Stats: 99agi, 93dex, 36luk, 11str. or 99agi, 94dex, 36luk, 5str. Of course 99 agi because your an agi type. Dex adds aspd and luk because of the ancient mimic card. Also for blitz. Str? To carry your loots and arrows. Adds up atk too.
