Best base for Rank 7 +

Class and Rank Archer
#1

I want to figure out the best(futureproof) base classes for my archer, I’m focusing on pvp but I must be able to level my toon after all.

  • Archer2: multi-shot and swift step, both scale well.
  • Sapper2: detonate trap can clean up some magic circles and broom trap is nice for grinding, good for both pvp and pve.
  • Scout+Rogue: scout provides cloak and camouflage, rogue can capture magic circles while in stealth. Sneak hit is % based, great skill for any build. Rogue also has a good sinergy with sapper.
  • QRS1: pavise and caltrops, great for pvp and mobbing.
  • QRS3: Running shot is % based so it will be probably good til rank 10.
  • Wugushi 2: Don’t know much on this class.
  • Falconer 1: Circling lvl 5, is this looked after for grind partys ?

So I put together a few R6 builds:



I want a pvp archer that I can level to rank8 without loosing my mind, what do you guys suggest ?

First i wanna say you shouldnt worry about this too much, we are in a long way from rank 10

so you wanna focus for pvp… well, these seems to scale well: qs3 for autoattack (the running shot damage multiplier works with the new skill bazooka for cannoneer, though you may wanna check if this has changed), ranger3 for skillspamming builds (steady aim), archer2 or rogue for crit, scout for cloaking, falconeer for circling(aoe).

Then you have qs3>scout>rogue>cannoneer, falconeer seems also a popular choice for rank 6, and ranger3>scout>rogue>musketeer. Dont know about futureproof with cannoneer or musketeer (though cannoner c2 will give you some aoe). I think both are not that hard to level, honestly.

We may have the nerfed version of steady aim(ranger3) but it will still be relevant with whatever skill-based class, though running shot (qs3) may become less relevant if the base damage of new skills is too high or if it work not very well with other buffs (for example, the new limacon of SR).

You cannot see the future.
Not in this game.
You have to play with what you have for now. Else it will be more of a boring chore.
Game should be fun at first, you may even reroll or rage quit when the future patches come and make your build become or look unoptimized because you simply cannot pass the so invested orange equipments you have in a certain character.

The second build I posted for example, I would be using archer2 and falconer just for easier leveling, same goes for sapper. Is that a waste of ranks? Am I worried too much about leveling ?

I feel like for pvp rogue and scout combo is what really matters, I won’t be auto attacking when theres huge damage R8 skills available.

For leveling the third one is better actually. But dont be afraid to go cannoneer if you are already going qs3, since you have some utility and aoe from it, this is my build.

Gonna be annoying to level quarrel shooter until rank 4 but running shot is worth it(save your points), scout will give you some movespeed to do quests faster, rogue will give you some utility from capture and a bit more damage to bosses( if someone tank it for you, with doesnt seems to happen very often, still usefull though), and cannoneer will give you the aoe. Cafrisun+running shot will basically do your leveling for most of the time, and about stats… I’m going str/con 2:1(high con for critical resistance).

Hello, my main char build is ar2, sap2, 1 scout, 1 rogue, 2 cannoneer

Sapper 2 is a good class for lvling, high dmg aoe ground, can use detonate traps for flying monsters, stake stockade for lure monster with good dmg.

Scout for cloaking(pvp)

Rogue for critical and capture(boss)

Cannoneer for lvl, pvp, etc…

Also you can add falconer for this build instead of rogue for more utility party… end game for determined situations you will need some utility skills for party like circling.

Sapper isn’t future proof. If you want Future proof go with;
A2-R1-Scout1 ->
A2-R1-Scout-Wugu2- Falc ->
A2-R1-Scout-Rogue-Falc ->
A2-R3-Falc1 ->
A2-R3 ->

#8

If you want future proof, go for A2 or Rogue1.
Maybe take a Scout rank for cloaking in PvP.

R3 can be made almost useless by R9+ skills hitting the damage cap constantly without Steady Aim.
QS3 can be made almost useless by R9+ skills constantly outdps Running Shot with endless skill rotation.

So just go for whatever you like after you spare one rank for A2 or Rogue1.

I would say go iDreamy and farm a lot of silver because:

  1. a lot of stuff is going to be more accessible with silver
  2. new content tends to flip the meta on its head ruining a lot of planning so it’s not really “important” right now.
