Hello everyone,
I have been lurking the forums for the last couple of days and decided on the build in the title. Can anyone suggest, and maybe post, a build? I wanna do PvE only with heave AoE and great solo potential. I am not too sure which skills to take…
Also, very important, how should the stats be distributed?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: I obviously forgot falconer c1 before cannoneer
Maybe something like this?
or with falconer
Thanks for your answer,
I am Not sure about fletcher, i heard that steady aim was nerfed but that Ranger is still a viable choice for cannoneer…
Also about the Ranger skills, is critical shot Really worth taking? Also, what about the stat distribution?
Help would Be appreciated 
It was nerfed, but it’s still decent. The Ranger class itself is also pretty good, especially if you go to C3.
Critical Shot will only be used while leveling, so you can spam that while your other skills is in cd. I would leave it at level 1, but personal preference there (same case with Oblique Shot).
xylonez, would you mind Posting the skillset for said build? I am kinda unfamiliar with the other Ranger skills except barrage. Is High anchoring viable?
And please, how should the stats Be distributed? I have heard strenght is important for cannoneer, Not sure though.
Bump
I know everyone is probably playing right now, and I will too when I get home from work, but Maybe someone can still help out 
I would do something like this. High Anchoring is pretty finnicky to use. It needs to be charged. I guess it could be okay to use while leveling but that’s about it. I just don’t like the skill, personally.
The leftover points are put into full draw, time bomb arrow and pheasant, but you can move them wherever you want.
I would probably do 3:1 str:dex, along with con if needed (around 20-30).
Thanks, thats really helpful! Besides, do you think picking Ranger is the most viable choice for pve only?
Well, the thing is there’s not much alternatives at that point (if you go Archer 2). QS is specific to AA build and hunter is underwhelming for pve.
The only other alternative is sapper which is also good. It’s just different playstyle.
How do sapper and ranger compare in Terms of advantages/disadvantages over the other? I must say I was quite interested in sapper but thought they are Not too viable, especially Cause you have enough aoe with cannoneers, no?
Both are viable, they’re just different playstyle. Sapper is indeed more focused on AoE but it doesn’t necessarily mean a bad thing.
