I will be Archer C3 soon, i just like this circle so much.
What should i choose next - Wugushi or Scout?
Don’t wanna pvp, pve mostly. Want decent damage on bosses and monsters
Both (Wugu3 and Scout3) pair well with Archer3, but it also depends on your R7 and R8 picks.
With Cannon2, either is fine. I can attest though that Wugu3 Cannon2 works well for ET (I have a guildie running that build) and bossing since you have both DoT and burst skills.
Scout3 is great for farming dungeons and open field mobs. You could go for Falcon1 Mergen1 right after or Cannon2.
Other options include Wugu3 Falcon1 Hacka and Wugu3/Scout3 Musket2 but I haven’t seen any of those builds in action though in theory they should work fine as well.
wugu 3 > falcon1 > mergen is nice too
and for scout i think c2 and falconer 3 is better
(dont go musket for pve)
if you still archer 2 you can consider ranger 1 instead of archer 3 for lv 5 steady aim which buff all job in archer tree’s offensive skill by 10% stronger.
I have a Archer 3 Scout 3 Cannon 2 and my entire skill set is useless in the rank 8 maps except for cloak, cannon blast, smoke grenade, cannon barrage and bazooka. Well, maybe Multi Shot 15 does decent damage sometimes but only on flying mobs with 2h bow.
That character is pretty much forced into a farmer, like every other scout 3s.
The recent cannon buffs made that build a little easier to play but doesn’t change the fact that archer 3 scout 3 doesn’t do much damage on rank 8 maps when the mobs mobs have a lot of hp.
Wugu poison scales off STR, which is why most archers don’t really take 3 circles of it as they run crit builds. However, it still does more damage than scout 3 so if you’re really set on making your character have all the 3 stars, I’ll recommend wugu. Just poison and kite the mobs until they die.
Wugu poison scale with PHYSICAL ATACK… dont need str for make a wugu… only transcendece weapom and you will have nice dmg.
