A1 > R3 > F3 or A2 > R2 > F3 (I know, it's been ask a billion times...)

Class and Rank Archer
#1

I know this topic have been asked to death, but there are a few questions I want answer before I take Rank 4…

  1. Is Spiral Arrow good enough of a skill that you will still be using after you get F3?
  2. How significant is Swift Step with the 25% Critical Rate increase. Do you notice an increase in crit attacks… is there even a significant boost.
  3. I am going 1:1 STR:DEX (with 50 points in CON), how significant will the 25% increase be for my DEX? As oppose to a full DEX end game build?
  4. Barrage, is this skill even use after F3? Level 15 Barrage V.S. having access to Level 10 Multi-Shot and Level 10 Barrage… But then again going R3 gives you access to Spiral Arrow as well…
  5. Everyone I’ve talked to is leaning towards A2 > R2 since the Steady Aim nerf… even Koreans on YT are suggesting that since the nerf for iTOS… What is your opinion on this matter?

I have the same doubt :confused:

archer 3 - scout 1 - fletcher 3. you don’t need to be a ranger at all. your main dps skills will be magic arrow (5 sec cd)/ multishot(2 charges)/ and pretty good aoe. The main reason of r3 was steady shot. But now it’s nerfed to pieces.

#4

R3 f3 here the difference between the two is so minimal that it doesn’t matter.

Having both spiral arrow and level five multishot gives more damage over time then level 10 multi its entirely up to you your character isn’t gonna be ruined either way steady aim is still good even with the timer nerf just means you need to plan your actions now instead of spamming it

#5

As I said, Main dps skill has 5 sec cd. You don’t have enough time to shoot all other skills. Or you will lose dps.

#6

I have plenty of time to shoot off spiral arrows with your magic arrow argument you could say spiral is better since it doesn’t have a long cast time like multi.

Between magic arrows i spam barrage and spiral and barbed i very rarely have time or the health to let a mob hit me while i spend five seconds casting multishot

#7

lol… so you are casting multi for 5 sec? Nice.

#8

Are you brain dead?

It takes time to charge it and time to cast it all while not being able to move. In that time magic arrow is back and you could have casted several other spells

Yes there’s an attribute that decreases its casting time but you’re still looking at a solid 2 - 3 seconds of not moving that’s the trade off for its high damage output

#9

You are such a noob… After full charging MS you can move… /facepalm… The arrows will shot while you are running. And you are able to prepare another ability while arrows are shooting.

Ignore the trolls.

1 - Yes.

Its pretty much the only reason to take archer c2. Gives you a lot of crt rate if you already have a nice crt rate, it gives you more of it. Crt attack comes from STR and have nothing to do with swift step.

3 - It will work well. For ex: 300 crt rate. +25% crt rate buff = 375.

Yes.

Up to you. Both have pros and cons.

5- Ppl just copy and paste stuff. 10% of them run any test in game.

All that I can say for you is this:

In this game, NEVER take one rank of ANY class just for one skill. ONE skill. You enjoy the class?

There is any other skill from it you will use later on? Sometimes I just forget to use steady aim anyway, and I did saw a lot of KTOS fletchers doing the same. The magic arrow spam cant stop, you must use bleed, more spam, etc, manage sp… Sometimes is just hard to do it all 100% accurate like a machine.
