Building an ASPD Archer for my girlfriend. Help a noob out!

Class and Rank Archer
#1

Ok so I know very little about this game and very little about Archers.

My girlfriend wants me to help her build a character capable of pvp but not 100% in a pvp direction. Probably more PVE.

I asked what she’d like in a character and the priority is

  1. ASPD
  2. Crit rate
  3. Evasion
  4. Fun skills/ mobbing ability

I’ve been playing with ideas on the skill simulator and the 3 classes she likes are Archer, Ranger and Fletcher for these reasons

Archer - kneeling shot and swift step for ASPD, evasion, Crit and damage boost and multi shot for a fun skill

Ranger - Spiral Arrow and Steady aim for a fun skill, damage boost and for crit

Fletcher - Magic Arrow and Crossfire for mobbing and fun multihit skill.

What would you guys suggest in a build based around this information? Obviously I can’t max all 3 classes and am unsure what to cut out. Magic arrow looks amazing at max level and crossfire looks like a great way to mob, kneeling shot and swift step give so much when maxed but would it hurt to lose steady aim and spiral arrow?

She loved her sniper on RO years ago and Ranger looks very similar.

Thanks again for any responses!

This is what I’ve come up with so please help tweak it if necessary, if not just say if it looks good.

Totally agree to the reply above
Follow his advice, it’s how to do a true ASPD Archer :thumbsup:

If I go down that line I can’t max magic arrow though. It seems to do a lot of damage and so many hits.

Oh really? Running shot is that much better than kneeling shot even with all of the crit, ASPD, attack, range and evasion of a c3 archer?

She liked Fletcher based on the mobbing ability of Crossfire and the fast damage output of magic arrow. Is it not worth it to have these skills when fast ASPD doesn’t cut it?

Thanks for the fast response!

Just for reference, my priest without aspd buffs misses basic attacks sometimes, and I have 170 ping.

Last I checked our ping was 10

wow that is a really low ping, where do you live?

My ping of 10 was in NY in queens but I just moved to PA and it went up to 19

Ill show her what your suggesting (Archer>Ranger C3 >Fletcher C3)

I feel like that would be a build she would be interested in. Rangers seem to be very similar to her Ragnarok Sniper skill-wise if I understand them correctly. It looks like Arrow Shower, Sharp Shooter, Improve Concentration buff and possible Double Strafe if your familiar with that game.

She didnt seem interested in Quarrel Shooters as a class so The above build might fit the bill.

1pt in critical shot is fine for leveling. You have 5 spare pts as ranger C3 anyway.
1pt in oblique shot and broadhead for same reason as above. Personally I would ditch bodkin point (or maybe put 1-4 pts) and go for barbed arrow.

Well she ended up being more interested in attack speed over skill usage because she doesn’t want to have to worry about running out of sp and enjoys fast attacking more so I’ll be looking more into Archer C3 or Quarrel Shooter C3 or a combination of both. Not sure which route I’ll take yet

#16

I have a feeling you guys won’t like this build but here are the reasons I put points where I did hopefully it isn’t too bad since it fits what she’s looking for(from a haven’t played yet perspective lol)

I went Archer C3 for

  • Twin arrows to be used with running shot for single target high ASPD and damage I hope.

  • Max Swift Step for 75% Crit, 20% Evasion & 19% movement speed

  • Max kneeling shot for high speed shooting when she doesn’t want to rely on skills too much which gives a physical damage boost and additional 20% Crit boost which combined with Swift Step is 95% Critical if it works that straight forward.

  • Max Multi Shot for a fun multi hit skill that adds 30% Critical rate with reduced cast

  • I bypassed Full Draw, Oblique Shot and Heavy shot mainly to max the other skills but didn’t see much worth in them other than pushback

I went Quarrel Shooter for

  • Maxed Running Shot for boosted ASPD

  • Maxed Rapid Shot seemed like a fun multi shot skill similar to Multi shot from Archer except it reduces critical resistance which may ensure a better chance to Crit during the other skills or even basic attacking while buffed.

  • Maxed Deploy Pavice and Teardown because well why not and Stone Shot and Stone Picking do not look appealing.

  • Remaining 5 points in Scatter Caltrops since it seems to hit multiple enemies while reducing their movement speed

Finally I tried Fletcher C1

  • Mainly for level 5 Crossfire for Mobbing and burning chance

  • Also Level 5 Broadhead and Barbed Arrow for bleeding and wasn’t sure if Barbed Arrow should be replaced with the piercing ability of Bodkin Point

If you don’t like parts of this build please explain why so I can learn from it and not repeat the mistake in future build attempts.

Thanks for all of the reviews and updates guys :slight_smile:

Have her look at this if she likes it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nOG00YZ8kM

Ok will do, what build is that anyway?

#19

im always confuse on which one would be preferable… bodkin point or broadhead??

The video is of 3 c3 quarrel shooters. [running shot] gives them the huge aspd boost on top of bonus damage per atk. If you go c3 archer you can get even more aspd with kneeling shot.

For stats, people recommend STR (non crit build) because the bonus damage can’t crit (I don’t know though so ask around). The auto attack itself can still crit though so “it’s something”. So it’s not 100% the crit your GF might want, but it can still crit.
