Has anyone tried Archer C1 > Quarrel Shooter C3 > Archer C2 > Fletcher C2 before? Since Quarrel shooter C3 with Archer C2 is great at single target, adding Fletcher C2 can improve in AOE nuke to clear small mobs and also able to add in Magic Arrow and broadhead arrow (Bleed) on bosses when kneeling shot is not possible during fight that require a lot of moving. .
I can totally see where you’re going with this but:
A) Trying to hybrid a build like this that is so strictly single target sustained dps into a “potential kind of maybe decent aoe dps” is just taking away what the class is meant to do
B) Musketeer cooldowns go sooooo well between Running Shot cooldowns it’s disgusting. Massive nukes that line up perfectly with your Running Shot down time. It’s hard to give up.
That being said, is this build a viable hybrid? I would say yes. The problem is, there are better hybrid options and generally speaking when you build a character you want it to be the best at one thing, not decent at a couple things.
You’re right that if weaved in correctly Magic Arrow could raise your dps, however the fact that the build’s base works around being able to kneel you’d have to be very careful about how and when you actually unkneeled to add it in.
I can actually also see a tonne of synergy that you even failed to mention with Bodkin Point and Running Shot, especially for PvP if/when players start having highly plus’d gear and you’re able to shred all that armor away from them and then commence Running Shot burst.
That all being said, I still just don’t see how in most practical situations I could ever consider dropping Musketeer for F2 in this build, as the burst damage just goes so well in between RS cooldowns.
It’s a bad build. Taking Fletcher c2 on a rank 7 is bad. There are lots of better options instead like dropping Archer C2. or dropping Fletcher altogether
I have a similar build (QS3 Fletcher3). If you are going to go fletcher, go all the way. Despite what other people may say, it’s not a bad build. I have outdamaged every other fletcher build I have seen and I have yet to lose world boss cubes vs. other fletchers. However this is just anecdotal information and it’s entirely possible some of the fletchers I have encountered do not play properly
Thanks for all your feedback. But I guess TOS is all about having fun and my gut feeling tell me to go for F2. Maybe i should just wait for new patch for Archer Rank 8 class before deciding it again. Might have some new class for Archer at rank 8.
I hear divine machine gun is bad. I am going A2 coz of the 25% crit from swift step attribute.
You don’t go for Fletcher C3 because of divine machine arrow… you do it for the level 10 magic arrow which is the whole point of going fletcher. The DPS you gain from 5 more levels of magic arrow will far outweigh the +25% crit rate.
Not committing on fletcher c3 is a bad move, period.
Also if mergen skills are 0 cd, it completely invalidates running shot
@Hakaze Hi there! i see your video on youtube…may i know your all skill? and rank 8 almost out,what class you choose? Archer C2? or what?
Fletcher isnt taken for its AOE. Flecthers aoe is horrible. Terrible.
Ok i overdid it, but still…
how about scout c3 with qs 3?
archer and falconer c2
