If you saw my PVP archer build, you’ll know that I prefer to keep oblique shot at lv2. And here’s why.
Conclusion:
Level 15 os wastes way too much SP. Since I’m pure PVP I might be biased because in PVP we need to use more than one skill. It also becomes your auto attack basically at the later levels. Is the added damage really worth the SP usage and less points in other skills?
Doesn’t your SP regen seem low? what is the rate of regen in ToS? regen stat while looking at character stats per second? per 5 seconds?
Well… you need 3~4 lvl2 OS to deal a lvl 15 OS damage, and it will cost the same (or more) amount of spirit.
If your using purely to add a slow with the attribute, its worth spendding 20 spirit per hit. Otherwise its “almost” the same thing with more chance to crit between hits.
Question! Whats the bonfire range? Could it be affecting your regen time?
@albert_patrick i think its per 2 sec.
Looking at the Skill simulator, the Damage per SP (without weapons) for level 2 vs level 15 is 10.6 to 11.15 so technically it is more cost efficient to have level 15 oblique shot.
This however is countered when you add weapon damage and the like to the equation. If let’s say you have 300 physical attack, level 2 oblique becomes 33.3 to 17.5… basically you’re trading sustain and overall higher damage per SP for quicker killing.
So in short terms, one could get more benefit by going only 1 or 2 ranks of archer to get 1 or 2 more possible class ranks elsewhere. This would mean more skills based on CD or existing skills of other classes with more strength. The archer rank chosen would be based on a couple of factors: how strong you want each oblique shot or other archer class abilities to be, and how long can you sustain the sp usage inbetween abilities of other classes.
Every 20 seconds in combat. SP regen is almost non-existent in this game unless you have a buttload of SPR.
May I know why don’t you just put it at lv 1 instead? Everyone kept saying if you stop at Archer1, you should get 5/5 on Swift Step and Multi Shot, 4/5 on Full Draw and 1/5 on Obli. Could you help me with this, please?
Get level 1 oblique shot. This information is outdated
