Hmm...tempted to go with Assault Rifle/Nrg...I believe (someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here) Sniper Rifle has the longest range out of all the snipes, combine that with Boost Range and frankenslotting 3 Dam/Range enhancements you'll have such range that your Snipe would actually go beyond the draw distance of PCs/NPCs.
That's if you want to go purely for range, however AR does have the downfall of only having 3 single target attacks (Burst, Slug and Sniper rifle) all the rest are cones or AoEs and probably not that great for PvP (again feel free to correct me if I'm wrong).

A real showstopper!
All snipes are 150 Range and 266 dmg unlostted. Fire is more dmg but I have mentioned Fire already.
Themeatically Assault Rifle, Archery are my preference, but S/L dmg is annoying compared to Psi.
Consciousness: that annoying time between naps.
An Assault Rifle snipe is the hardest to see, making it take longer for player foes to retaliate, spending time looking for you as they don't know where your shot came from. Archery would do more damage with Aim, though I'm not sure how difficult to spot the arrows are, but I'd imagine pretty easy.

I actually have an AR/EN where no energy attacks are used, purely the AR, and it works out pretty nicely!
Boost range, power boost, build up and conserve power. Makes for a tidy set of flexible ways to use attacks!

I would certainly say AR/EN could be fun, especially if you take the nrg epic too.
I don't think it's worth too much worrying about S/L damage, I'm assuming that you're not planning on sniping Brutes too often anyways 
Now what would be REALLY cool is if you actually got a magnification scope on AR so you can pick out targets in the distance
Fahie
Why Force epic??
I think i'll roll both arch + AR and see how they perform at 50.
:P

Fex is more-or-less an archery sniper. I find Aim + Snipe + Fire Arrow is enough to really hurt a squishy.

I was in atlas today just trying out the range difference of post + pre boost range and what a difference on the snipe! Against a squishy there'ld be no way they could inflict any damage on you [to be in danger] before getting any distance on you!
Add in a teleport with enhanced range and no melee could catch your epic rangeness [with ranged def for those pesky ranged attacks of course].
Well thats my plan for my blaster at least too
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
Here's a Zonal Sniper Build I made. The gaps in Web Grenade are for an Immob PvP Set, Gaps in the ranged attacks are for the PvP ranged proc, gap in Health is for Panacea proc and the gaps in Hoarfrost are for a Panacea set, minus the proc.

ok, read this thread a while back (before the merge) and got inspired. So, I rolled myself up a shiney new archery/energy/munitions blaster to see if I could come up with something workable. And here it is. Didn't worry about the attacks in /energy much as I didn't intend to get in melee range. I took total focus as an emergency power to go with power thrust to escape any sneaky stalkers. I went munition ancillary for surveilence's nice def/res debuff and the second snipe in the form of LRM Rocket (ya know, just in case the first one doesn't do the job). out of the pre-requisite powers i went with body armour to gain that little extra protection in case of emergencies. Assault and tactics also give extra boosts to acc and damage.
Now, I don't do much PvP'ing outside of some friendly SG PvP nights so not really up on what's great PvP wise, but I can say I have had great fun soloing EB/AV's, especially on outdoor maps where I can use fly/hover to get a nice position out of range of returning fire. Now apart from a little bit of PL'ing on an SG team from 8-14 I soloed this toon up to 48 so far and have had great fun PvE with her and am looking forward to test her out on the next SG PvP night as my first 50, and nrg/nrg blaster seemed to often dominate on our PvP nights and this toon has had soo much more of an easier time of things so that i think she would be even beter in PvP.
What do you guys think?

Ok so my main PvP tank is coming along nicely. I think that it will be finished by monday night, "hopefully".
However, I had a blaster before with a Snipe power, which was a load of fun in Zones.
I wanted to create a pure sniping toon, themeatically I think it would be great fun.
So, for Zonal PvP sniping...
What sets would be best, I have been toying with -
Assault Rifle / Devices
Assault Rifle / Nrg
Archery / Devices
Archery / Nrg
Psi / Devices
Psi / Nrg
I want to avoid Fire as I don't like how the power leaves a burning trail back to the hidden sniper, oO
Any ideas, and power slotting that would work best? I was thinking 3 Dmg/Acc Hammi's + rangeIO, +RechIO +IntterupIO
Any suggestions please?
Oh and would Surveillance be of any use from Epic power?
