Hi everyone,
I’m currently a lvl 75 Archer>Ranger>Ranger. I was wondering what your thoughts were with regards to whether its better to go Archer3 Ranger3 or straight to fletcher 2. I understand both paths are good for boss battles since archer 3 has multishot, which at level 15 does quite a good amount of damage and also has kneeling shot. On the other hand, fletcher has single target DPS with poison and its skills do substantial single target damage as well.
Thoughts?
I got an Archer C2 and I can tell you that, at the current state, kneeling shot sucks, because you get stuck in it due to lag and can’t move when a boss is attacking you.
What I do value from Archer is Swift Step, Oblique Shot and Multi Shot.
Full Draw is unreliable, and I haven’t tried Heavy Shot yet.
Dont go more than the basic archer class for now, its not balanced and lack some punch at later levels, go as ranger/quarrel and from there choose your course of action, i recommend Ranger, lots of AoE and it do a nice damage. as for stats, i started as STR 1:DEX 3 now i changed STR for SPR for SP pool, to be honesty for now its ok only lost 10% dps compared as before, but im more active too since i got lots of SP, i just need a bow to do more damage, i felt on the mistake of use an xbow+shield. Im doing some research with stats on all the classes i picked its being fun to mess with them lol.
Have to disagree. You can go archer c2 or c3, and oblique shot / multishot will still be amazing up until lvl 200. You just have to level the attributes.
@matheus_botsx This is true. Kneeling Shot / Full Draw are not great to take.
At earlier levels to get attributes are kind hard unless he will be grinding the whole time then he will have some cash from selling junk, but for who is like me that go questing the incoming is low.
Heavy shot is useful against heavy monster, like those that have a good defense and are though.
It gives a bonus “Heavy +50%”
I don’t know what exactly happens, but while oblique shot do a lame damage to those sturdy monsters, ‘heavy shot’ do a normal (or higher) damge to them, and it doesn’t have a cooldown :V
Thanks for all your imput! A couple more questions:
Thoughts on skills for Fletcher? which ones to max? Broadhead? Barbed arrow? Crossfire? Magic Arrow? Singijeon?
Thoughts on ranger skills? High anchoring? Bounce Shot? Spiral Arrow? Time Bomb?
I personally did not think high anchoring was too good, its cast time is pretty long, its hard to aim and barrage does comparable damage imo.
Bouncy shot is good to finish off flying, medium and small enemies, not good on plate armored ones, Barrage is your butter cutter, high damage, but weak when facing plate armor, High Anchoring indeed is hard to aim, but one thing i do with it is kite the group and make them be in-line turn around and shoot, of course i precharge it before doing it, but sometimes is a pain to do so when there are ranged enemies in the middle,time bomb i think its bugged, someone reported before that it dont do aoe damage as specified on description.
even if kneeling shot damage scales with dex?
i dont know why most guide dont advice Heavyshot, the skill is awesome on plate enemies
