For now, defeating ToH Tao Gunka for profs (hwiz still got stave crasher and thus they aren't as bad), your best chance is the same thing to what skilled snipers bring out of fear of nepenthes round 1.
Bring Myst Case Hat, with your highest base dmg weapon.
Damage calculations:
140 atk (dagger of counter base dmg, +4 will get higher) x [250% (lv 3 mammo) x 20% (myst case hat bonus)] x 2 (anti-magic lv 5 melee vulnerability) x 1 (0 base def) = 840 dmg.
You'll still need 6 hits of Mammo to kill it, but it certainly beats 20 dmg double bolt at a time.
And don't say this method is unrealistic because bringing certain gear is unfair, when the topic of discussion is only a myst case hat. Dagger of counter isn't the most top tier gear to get either. Both item doesn't weigh a ton. This is by far your best solution at this moment in time.
ToH is hard. You do need to plan on how to overcome your class's disability. GMs have a part in choices, but so do the players. Likewise to snipers: GMs got all the right to do ice titan/ancient tree/bradium golems/you-get-the-idea or pneuma spammers (nepenthes for round 1!) in ToH as well, and it's your responsibility to think of ways to overcome them.
