Personal Skills:
Warring Experience (5+ wars)
DO NOT PANIC!
Can easily recognize magers


If you do not meet the requirements above please keep reading for the extra information that may be valuable during a war. If interested in a sniper position please contact one of the leaders thanks.

First off sniping is no walk in the park. Snipers are often outnumbered and must watch the oposite team for pile switches and anti-snipers (explained later).ALL SNIPERS WILL EVENTUALLY BE PILED! It may not be this war of the next but it will happen! Stay calm and refer to the tank guide.

Spoiler: click to toggle


WHAT TO DO.
NEVER EVER SHOW YOU ARE RANGING BEFORE THE WAR STARTS!ALWAYS START WITH THE MAIN PILE! Ok now that's out of the way let's get to the good stuff.As a sniper you will be on the look out for enemy mages. Upon spotting a mager attack them with range. Keep attacking them untill they change into thier rune armor.

If you are lucky you can combo hit them by switching from range to melee while they are close.This may or may not get extra damage in. After the mager switches to rune armor start looking for another mage and repeat.


If there are currently no magers then switch back to the main pile untill one apears.

Anti-snipers

Anti-sniping is entirely different then the average sniper. Anti-sniping means sniping their snipers.Spiffy huh?

The requirements:
Same as sniper.



What to do
Attack their snipers.Sounds simple right? WRONG! Many clans absolutely HATE when their snipers are anti-sniped.ALWAYS BE PREAPRED TO TANK!Anti-snipers are a very efficeint way to make snipers tank instead of sniper, which can win or loose ANY war!


Other then the constant fear of being piled anti-sniper is fairly straight forward. Sometimes it may be neccassry to camp a sniper.If so just camp him it's that simple.



TIPS & HINTS
Prayer:
Anceint mace gives extra prayer bonus
Prayer guild gives extra prayer bonus
Curse alter gives extra prayer bonus


Armor:
Use Corrupt if permited during war
Use Gravite if perminted during war

During the war:
DONT PANIC!
DONT PANIC!
DONT PANIC!

If anyone has any suggestions or tips to be put in this guide please leave a post and I will accredit you.

First off, you can easily snipe with 90 defence
Second off, get a rune plateskirt, less kgs, causing person to run more
Third off, get at least one or two strength potions, re-pot at 105 strength
Fourth off, always wear the other clan's cape so they will need to right click on you to attack you

personally think snipers should have 82+ prayer and maxed melle, more intimidating and the extra prayer helps from anti-snipers

Sniping \/
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1st) U need 96+ in all melee combat stats and 90+ mage (not only for tele to gdz at pvp wars but to not be binded soo easy).

2nd) Get A Str Pot !

3rd) U forgot u CHAPS, its a MUST to a good sniper, u only use green hide with rune legs if u're camping a leader and some stupid anties are on u so u can change style quick and dont lose too much def stats.

4th) Use the other clan's team cape while u're in a PvP war, it makes them need to right click on u to Attack, if u're in CWA, just... Whatever, use other clan's team cape or a Team Cape, never a Skill Cape, it makes u look like noob.

5th) NEVER, NEVER let u HP go to 700-, it can make u die for some anti snipers, wich is not a good idea...

6th) NEVER WEAR TRIMMED ARMOURS, U'RE A SNIPER NOT A CLOWN, U DONT WANT TO GET ATTENTION TO U!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anti'ing \/
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1st) A Anti Sniper NEVER camps a sniper, if u camp ONE sniper, others will distroy u main pille, the SNIPER CAP is a Momentany Cap, if a sniper dies, another one will go and replace the RIP'ed one, if the sniper goes on U and u're alone anti'ing, just go on main pille put prayer and wait to him go away, if he dont, ask the leader to "clean", if u're anti'ing with more ppl, make some good hits like 180's+ at the sniper and he'll go away, if he dont, he's a noob sniper soo dont worry.

2nd) Anti Sniper Hit Sniper Till He Go Away And Then GO THE FUCK BACK TO MAIN PILLE, If U Dont Go Back To Main Pille, U'll Be Considerated As A SNIPER And If The War Have A Sniper Cap, We Might Lose War Caus Of U.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bonus ~)> Do Not Use SIGHT Longbow, longbow sucks to snipers and also sucks to trybrids, IK it have a nice bonus but it just dont worth it, if u want use a DG bow, get a Gravite SHORTBOW =D

~)> Sniper Dont Wear Platelegs, No One Should, It Is Heavyer Than Skirt, Makes U Energy Long Less Time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, believe me, i know what i'm saying, nice u put u sniper personal "experience" on the post...
Sniper Experience ~)> like 30 times on Hell Imp's Clan, 20 on Extermination, a milion on Hell Army... (idk hw many times in Hell Army, i snipe usualy on PvP there, since the begining of the year, we have like 4 wars a week soo thats alot), and 3 times on Dark Legacy.

Anti Experience ~)> 10 on Hell Imps, 5 on Extermination, 0 in all other clans... (h8 anti'ing)

max melle is a must yes.

70+ is good yea, 82 would be great due to 124 cmb for max and that together.

The clan cape is good yea cuz they do have to right click on you.

Yes, Sharp is right i did give out these stats
