Any good builds for Appraiser yet?
Just throwing in 3 of my theorycrafted builds here:
Uber backstab:
PVP:
For casual fun:
Appraiser overestimate will only buff items which are classified as [off-hand]. Shield, dagger, pistol, cannon.
Sword for hackapel will not be counted as off-hand even though they wear it on off hand. Appraiser overestimate will not work for hackapel sword.
Obvious shop --> stop at rank 5 class5 for appraisal shop.
Have seen arch2 Rang2 Appr1 reiter3.
Arch2 Sapp2 Appr Falco1 Cannon2.
And just like that my hacka dreams are crushed. Thanks for the info grey.
Oh, these are nice builds. Like the Cannon one the most.
Yes, I was thinking about hackapel appraiser too. However the skill wonât work.
Though hackapel sword still gets [main hand GEM bonus], so yellow gems are very strong. Get 4 slotted sword from hunting grounds and put 4 yellow gems to get a big damage boost. If you have 3 slot crossbow like isbality or the regard horn, you get a total of 7 gem slots. Itâs a lot, probably most in game right now.
All appraiser skills usable on mount if anyone is curious.
what about quarrel shooter with a shield LUL
If you ever saw those rogue vids youâll know appraiser âneedsâ scout for pvp. To be able to devalue gear while invisible will be like the ultimate trolling tool.
That said I think sc1-ro2 will be one of the picks. [backstab] even with its weapon restriction works against [missile hole] and daggers work with [over estimate]
For pve thereâs still sr and cannon. Srâs generally have r5 as a free pick so it fits. Cannoneers can ânot careâ about their previous picks so it can work. My personal pick would be a2-hu3-app-cannon2 (damn you for putting it in my head @Mawsiee!!)
To a lesser extent shield using archer can make use of appraisers too. It could be a bootleg qs3 with some pimped out accessories.
Iâm gonna go with Archer2>Quarrel Shooter 3>Appraiser>Cannoneer 2.
You get lots of high damage crits with Swift Step+Running Shot, and for those R7-R8 groups you get a buffed-up Cannon thanks to Appraiserâs offhand buff.
Is it really that good though? I mean, the only time the bonus is significant is if the cannon already has a high upgrade to it. If itâs already at a high upgrade, do you really need the buff?
For R8 mobs, any damage boost is welcome. Also, the other appraiser abilities are useful. Talking something like Falconer would be redundant, and while Rogue 1 has some utility I think itâd be a build that benefits overall from having Appraiser in it.
Hereâs an example for some perspective
Enhanced Vista Cannon
+0 to +3 is a difference of 27 atk while +12 to +15 is a difference of 54 atk. On paper it is âgoodâ because it scales âforeverâ as your weapon gets better, but in practice this buff is based off an outdated system because upgrades were never updated like gems and headgear enchants were.
I ask if this is âgoodâ because it is currently at the lv of sacrament and enchant fire (take note this is a rank 1 buff based on this video).
It would be nice if we can get someone who has used the skill extensively to chime in because theory crafting can only do so much.
A2 R1 wugu1 appr. sr3
a2 r1 sc1 appr.falc1 can2
Don´t make builds synergising Overestimate or Blindside skills is baitâŚ
The real worthy skill from Appraiser is Devaluation, is good in PVE but really shine in PVPs scenaries.
Can we do this now? I dun wanna keep spamming step 1 if it wonât actually trigger the quest line.
Youâll have to wait for Appraiser release to begin. As of now you can start collecting the 3 ingredients for the reagent only.
Hi, devaluation is a rank 2.5 debuff. Think the game will show it as rank 3 due to rounded values.
Some tests:
-prophecy does not prevent
-miko gohei cannot remove it
-cure cannot remove it
-dispeller cannot prevent
-plague doc fume does not cleanse
==> beakmask prevent
==> bloodletting prevents
Pandemic can spread the debuff
Luckily tom has a video to back up this:
I can just imagine how the enemy team quickly melts if the execution goes well.
Well right now, it looks like PD2 is overthrowing Inquisitor as the most popular all-around build since Agny was implemented.
PD2 is the most all rounded for PvE as well.
