Best archer buff for dmg

I’ve been a time out of game so i’m curious about right now wich skills give you or what is better for a major output DMG?
ranger steady aim, archer swift step, or Appraiser overestimate ?

This all depends on your setup,skills,equipment & status values.

Steady Aim is good if you have many skills which can be spammed and have high% but long CD times (which are 20 seconds or higher).You also need to have a highly-transcended weapon to really benefit from the %boost. Because of the high downtime to uptime ratio, it’s pretty bad to increase your DPS and only useful to burst, unless you build a party with a C3 Krivis (Melstis), C1+ Diev (Statue of Laima) and Chronomancer. With this setup you can basically have 100% uptime on Steady Aim.

Swift Step is good if you have high crit attack values (from yellow gems in mainhand weapon and DEX) and only a low-medium critrate(because you net in less and less additional critchance from the flat attribute critrate increase, so at medium - high amounts you only gain 5-8% critchance from Swiftstep level 10-17) .

Appraisers overestimate only increases your subweapons enhancement level by 3-4, so you’d have to have ~3 less upgrade levels than the next upgrade bonus is at (e.g. you upgrade your Lionhead Cannon to +8 and you can enjoy the huge upgrade bonus improvement with overestimate, turning your cannon into a +11 Lionhead Cannon for the buff duration)for the maximum effect.
Since this heavily relies on the upgrade level and rarity of the weapon, it’s more effective the higher you upgraded your subweapon and the rarer it is (legendary>unique>rare>magic>common).

Also note that this buff is the only one that isn’t passively boosted in effectiveness when you transcend your weapon, but it’s also the only buff in your roster of choice capable of increasing your parties damage if other subweapon-focused Classes without Appraiser in their builds are present.

Oh, really thanks so much, and I have another question, well i wanna build a SR but i read in other post this “ROGUE1 rather than Appraiser for Sneak hit. Get appraiser only if you go PVP.” Is it true?

every SR that i know always use aspana +13 plus overestimate.
aspana +13 is +926
aspana +16 is +1290
as you can see, overestimate give +364, but you need to reach +13 aspana first.
rogue1 for sneakhitlv5, +40% crit chance. i prefer sneakhit
