so, i’m working on my next archer build, and currently i’m thorn between Ranger 1, mainly for barrage, or Archer 3 for higher lvl multishot ( and twin arrow? dunno about this…)
i plan on going scout 3 for split arrow, good for farming, and finish with musk for good single target dmg.
as i won’t go rogue, like dream’s guide, is it still better to go ranger? i don’t see reason to consider anything else then ranger 1 and archer 3… maybe hunter?
barrage without feint is garbarrage
For pvp hunter is a ‘ok’ choice for now, some skills are nice on 1x1. I dont know about future balances, but hope that AIs pet get better. dont get this
Archer3 is focused on single dps, aiming for future AOE class, swift step for more time and more evasion, multishot 15 arrows, heavy shot is nice against plate, and twin arrows have a nice damage, everything with high lv atributtes.
Ranger is nice for barrage and steady aim. Scout don’t have any noticeable hard aoe like wugushi/fletcher/sapper, so barrage would fit nice here with flareshot and split arrow spams. But, without feint, the barrage 5 damage can decay hard over lvls, and we don’t know which rank the game will stop.
I’m doing a3>scout3, now stucked on job15 waiting for r8 skillset and possible hiddens ( I don’t like the firegun style ). The mainly problem is the lack of AOE for grind partys and other things. Cannoneer would be nice in your build.
going past A1 usually depends on what you want. A3 is mostly for higher level multishot and twin arrow for single target dps, since thats where scout3 is weak. Hunter would probably be a pickup for singe target cc used for soloing or pvp, just remember that your pet isnt invisible when you cloak.
