Class and Rank Archer
#1

Do you think MERGEN class still use crossbow for that aoe auto attack?
Example AOE AA BUILD
A3>QS3>ANY 7>Mergen

#2

Time to figure out a path to maximize cavalry archers!

#3

Mergen >>>>>>>>>>>>>

#4

mergen looks fun to play. i wonder if its dex or str.

#5

Hunter3 Falconer3 pet and Auto-sonic strike afk farm with the new falcon passive, if it is a passive (very likely). Falcon is free and cannot die unlike necromancer pets or sorcerer SP drain.

#6

I’m very excited about it too. Had stopped my falconer up hoping something like it could come at rank8. In the animation, it seems that the AA activated the falcon skill. Anyway, still very interesting and useful!

I really need to know how to master the pets now… Do you (or anyone) have an guide for that? How many points should i invest and on what (in the pet tamer) and how this affects the Falcon skills?

Short guide for pets, from my data.

Whenever you want to use a hunter pet skill, your pet will select a target in the direction you are facing. It will select its closest target regardless of anything: http://i.imgur.com/vDhdxFY.jpg this is the range of your pet selector.
Each pet skill is AoE and the pet has a fixed AoE attack ratio of 5… Pet AoE is directly on the pet http://i.imgur.com/tfHsMXJ.jpg
Max leash range: http://i.imgur.com/sB5Vi0F.jpg If you get too far your pet will bug out even if it is following you.

Whenever your pet uses a skill, you have to wait for it to FINISH the whole duration (it will continue even if the enemy has died, such as coursing). Before casting a new skill, wait for your pet to stand next/close to you or it will not respond and waste your CD + mana. Retrieve ends when your pet touches you, so move to your pet to cancel it when it is retrieving air (dead enemy). You can cancel coursing duration only when you mount your pet manually (only applicable to penguin-users).

Edit: falconer = Use call, use skill, use call, use skill.
Don’t bother with pet stats. Only rush dog [edited, thx to casti] scales with pet damage. Up the ratdog or penguin HP so it doesn’t die too quick. Invest in catdog food instead.

Sonic strike does not scale with pet damage.

You cant imagine the disappointment I had when I reached falc 2 with 5 skill points and took sonic strike and it did such bad damage. I was expecting a true multi hit attack sobs

#9

i wished imc would allow wugu skills while mount sobs

seems like my a3 falcon wugu 2 cannon is in weird spot lmao

#10

Yes, all hunters (like 4 hunter mains total in whole ToS) were crying due to rush dog being the same fake multi-hit too.

#11

Archer > Ranger 3 > Fletcher 3 > Mergen (?)

Then we find out that the fire 5 shots thing is a self buff and you can running shot while shooting at 5 people at a time.

Edit:

Do you guys think those Purple circles link are the new hitboxes after the falcons aiming debuff?

Edit 2 : Am I color blind or are those hyperlinks so hard to see? O_O

#13

mount mergen will likely need mount attribute from reiter class

same case like dragoon coming from hoplite route and dragoon coming from cata route

#14

It seems that no one cares about Hackapalle =p

#15

Thanks for that.

So it’s useless spent silver in pet attributes? More and more this games appears like an incomplete stuff digging some coins to finish it up someday.

Since the falcon would attack without command and without the call back stiff, maybe the gap between the skills animation could at least be shortened, huh? Speculation, of course. I’m just extremely excited about it and can’t stop over think it a bit.

#16

Mergen Seems like a BOW type class. as in probably you can’t use those skill using crossbow… coz common sense you can’t fire multiple arrow at the same time using crossbow. :unamused:

#17

i was wondering I’m A2>QS3>scout> was aiming for muskt for rank 7, but musk C2 don’t look good… so i was wondering if I’m stuck on musk for life

any thoughts?

#18

I have been waiting for Hackapell
have no idea what the best to get from it
it is mount class, but SR have pistol crossbow restriction
so it mean could only choose from Fletcher3, Ranger 3, QS3, and Archer 3
feel kind of restricted

#19

Both. Enough dex to reach crit soft cap and rest into str.

So, i dont get it. All fake multi-hit skills have a hidden multiplier. Look at spiral arrow for example; it has a hidden 600% multiplier. Some other skills like earthquake follows this kind of thing. I’m like 100% sure the lackluster damage is coming from the sorry stats pets have.

Seems more like the skills working similar to Oblique/Critical shot. Being able to move and shot at the same time. (Possibly hinting at 0 cooldown?)

It definitely does seem like those purple area is the extended hurtboxes.

@itachirk
You can use all Wugu skills besides throw gu pot on mounts.

@keruchan_0
You never know lol. I mean… Barrage with a Xbow… How does that even work.

@shina_tseng
Depends on if these new attributes are C2 musket only in which seem like pretty important QoL updates for musket. There are other options though.

@kurokawamayumi
You can also go Wugu since they have no weapon restrictions. And all but gu pot (and maybe jincan?) are mount usable

#20

what you guys think about A1R1SCOUT3ROGUE Then mergen
