Recently i made hackapell with the build of a2-qs3-SR2-hacka!
Im at level 276 now(stopped few days ago after 1 day reaching hacka). Not that the build i went is bad, its actually pretty good, i never lose in AoE DPS nor Solo DPS at my level, except when i grinded at alemeth before and partied with linker+cannoner(1 shotting all the mobs).
I say this build is perfect because it has pretty good solo and aoe dps… SR 2 basically cover all the aoe, SR 3 doesnt really add much i think, marching fire is bad without attributes, retreat shot lvl 15 is another +5 mobs but its very rare to get 15 enemies at once, even if there are 15 enemies, u always have party on grinding right? they will help with AoE dmg. On the other hand, going hacka will raise my single DPS(and alil bit AoE) by alot! the skarp lvl 3 with 35 att dealt like 40k on plate(imagine on leather and cloth) with 5 or 7 stacks i forgot… Its also easier to AoE stack arrows with retreat shot.
The Sword-Usage attributes surely provides alot more dps, atm i use +10 DGC with 2x lvl 6 yellow gem and a +11 trin sword with 2x lvl 6 gem too. Any 3 slotted swords will provide better DPS and u dont have to transcend it, but for now im stopping the progress of my hacka simply because i like swordsman type better(im a swordie main), also the reason that i dont spent much resource on this char…
I have a question tho if anyone knows how much dmg they usually do on SR2-3 at this level range 275-290… I did like 7-7,5k retreat shot and 8-8,5k+ with concentrate fire. I have both skills on lvl 50 or 60 att(kinda forget).
and heres a sweet info, my concen fire now has higher dmg than retreat shot because somehow when i use bow+swords i can use concentrate fire, but i cant use retreat shot… swords>pistol
I hope these long sentences can be of use by my fellow hacka! cheers!
