ill give some little enlightenment for my fellow snipers for 70 cap im not here to brag but i just want my sisters in bows understand
the 2nd generation of DN that is coming to us
first of all the jade system will be put in motion at that cap this will affect our skill build and will evolve us to be converted to a pure breed.
these are pointers than needed to take note from Jade:
there will no longer be potentials like hp,agi and int
since there will only be 3 slots for armors and 3 slots for weapons (skill are the 3rd slot)
Armors:
hexagonal: stats increas aswell with HP and MP
Elliptical Jade: offensive like phy /magic and elemental
triangular: skills+1
how does these affect our skill buildups?
one thing is we can only get hp/agility nomore int boost for armors and accessories
on weapons: phy, agility since only 1 slot for eptical are available for weapons and rings
so how can you boost your magic damage? only plates and talismans do
these changes will force us to evolve into a pure breed since we can no longer get magical and intellect boost for jades as snipers.
second:
your magical nerf will be great
-16% for magical damage (since can no longer get the BBQ phy,magic,agi,crit pot)
-28% for the missing intellect boost also
third:
the passive 10% phy increase will damage some magical DPS since only physical will be boosted (based on SP spent for magical tree)
another nail in the magical tree coffin
fourth
the skill and enchantment plate that is supposed to be given for physical damage will be wasted for one of your maxed out
or high lvl magical skill
i hope that the information I gave will be SUPERIMBABBQGGWTFHAX help for your build, and can save 1 or 2 reset scroll for the future.
Personal:
I like to help my fellow snipers but only for
snipers who dig in forums threads. thats why i didnt made a thread with these kind of infos. becoz snipers are bobo please wews go to assassin class.

and even with all that nerfs i will still use crossbow since I HATE WTF PEW for longbows
my scope,rapid,swift and TA will still be at lvl 1. because if i discarded one of those i will not be the same sniper again
it still boils up to player style at the end hahas br=
