Build Advice - Scout or Wugushi

Class and Rank Archer
#1

After having started my archer today, I noticed that building one isn’t as easy as thought, so I came up with a few problems.

First one being that I have no clue about stat builds as there’s still an ongoing discussion about STR vs DEX. After reading through a few topics on the forums and reddit, I think I’ll go with a 3:2:1 - STR : DEX : CON stat build. However, I don’t know if it fits well to my class build, which is the next problem.

I’d like to go
Archer C2 > Ranger C1 > Scout/Wugushi C1 > Fltecher C2 > Musketeer

But I’m really torn between Scout and Wugushi. I’d prefer Scout over Wugushi, but as Scout has only 2 High CD Damage Skills I’m thinking about picking Wugushi instead. The poison effect stacks and the Boss DMG is quite well, I heard, not sure though.

Scout Build:

Wugushi Build

And as if that weren’t enough, I’m also a bit troubled about the skills.
I picked Archer C2 for the Swift Step Attribute, but don’t know if Heavy Shot is worth the skillpoints.
I’m also trying to decide between High Anchoring and Critical Shot.
As for the Fletcher Skills, I’ll try them out and decide for the exact amount of points for each while leveling the class I guess, but any tips are appreciated.

Is this for PVE or PVP?

You should be worried about not taking Fletcher C3 since you’re already considering C2 for it (and it’s mediocre at just C1).

As for Scout vs Wugushi - Scout brings in a lot of utility for just a single circle and a must-have for PVP musketeers/cannoneers. I can’t say much for Wugushi (I heard it only shines on C2-C3).

2 popular builds for PVP musket right now (please search for them as I might be mentioning an incorrect rank):

Archer C2 > Ranger C1 > Scout C1 > Rogue C2 > Musket

Archer C2 > QS C3 > Scout C1 > Musket

Heavy Shot = meh

Can’t say much for Ranger skills but lv1 Crit shot seems good enough. Maybe max barrage and steady aim, rest of the points going to high anchoring.

Thanks for the advice.

I can’t really say PvE or PvP mayself, I always have PvP in mind but don’t want to build purely into PvP, as PvE isn’t less important for me. I guess I always search for builds that can do fine in both.

I guess after what you’ve said and the builds you posted, Scout seems like the better option.
I’d hate to have to miss out on Musketeer for Fletcher C3, all the skills seem pretty strong on C2 already.
