Snipe vs Se, what to pick

I'm wondering which of these skills to go next. Currently i'm 167, have 6 SP unused. I came back last week after a ~1 year hiatus, and i'm totally clueless what to get next, but my best bets are SE or snipe. Here's how my build looks:

- Max MMB, US, PA, SL, MMS
- 0 MW
- 19 SE
- 0 IS
- 1 Snipe
- 1 Hero Will
- 1 Elite Puppet

Right now the only skill which i cannot get books is MW, and i already passed SE30 and Snipe 30. I do a bit of everything, both train, solo bosses and party bosses. which skill should i get, or should i better wait for the Tempest patch?

@tuesdaymorning: I know right! The rankings aren't working. I accidentally updated my basil ID and put my 170 MM as my main and when I switched it back I'm naked. What ever happened to that option where you can load a picture for your basil ID

I'd say SE because the majority of your skills (E.g. US + PA) rely on crit more than just Sniping alone; a 20 second CD on Sniping should be bearable for the remaining levels especially since you would already have maxed US by now.

You can put 1 point into SE and 4 into hero's will if you are planning on going bossing when you hit 170 or even at your current level (HT, CZAK, Hard Hilla..) I don't even use snipe that often, I have level 1 snipe as well.

SE. it will boost your overall damage and the damage of snipe, since SE adds maximum critical damage.

Your build is fine, actually. Finish up SE if you're mostly training on mobs/in parties who want max SE, or if you value your 1v1 skills (30 SP) much more than 10 extra points for crit, you could do that.

Max SE it will provide more overall damage and party bonuses followed by snipe for bossing. the simple logic is boost all of your skills or one of them? However I would get 21 SE then put 2 snipe 1 SE as the sooner you get 11 SE the sooner you knock 5 sec off cooldown.

@Exorther: Can Snipe be spammed yet? I like seeing overall more critical hits on my skills.
