Completely new archer here, need some help

Class and Rank Archer
#1

Hello everyone, I mostly played Cleric in the icbt but I’ve decided to switch over to Archer because the build I used wasn’t something I was willing to go through again from scratch (I played an auto attack Priest).

I was wondering what build would be viable if I wanted to go for Schwarzer Reiter or Musketeer later on. Here are some of the builds I planned

  1. Archer > QS 3 > Fletcher 1 > SR 2

  2. Archer 2 > QS 3 > Musketeer (actually just saw this on the forums, it seems pretty OP so I’m not as interested in it lol)

  3. Archer 2 > Ranger 3 > SR 2 or Musketeer

P.S. I have NEVER touched Archers at all throughout the time I’ve been following ToS, if anyone could explain some important Archer mechanics to me I would greatly appreciate it :smiley:

Ranger C3 is good but some players now prefer to go QS C3 because of Running shot then go Musketeer for more damage.

I personally dont like mainstream builds so if you would ask me for my build I would go Fletcher C3 or Scout C3

QS gives bonuses to auto atacks. Fletcher is about skill spamming, as 3 of 4 skills have zero cd. Wouldn’t say they go well together.

With that said, I’m looking for some information on SR 2 viability, all I get is so vague.

#4

I see, with that said I’m probably going to go with my first build except I’ll switch fletcher c1 with archer c2.

I would also like to ask if anyone knows how SR c2 performs because I like playing classes that can move fast and attack at the same time.

This will be off topic, but you mentioned auto attacks. I’ve been looking on the internet (forums, wiki, Google) for information about what exactly auto attacks are and how their mechanics work… But I was never able to find any solid information. You seem to know what they are. Can you explain it a little or point me in the right direction for learning about it?

Sorry for the off-topic post

Auto atacks and basic atacks are terms we get from some other games, I don’t remember the correct name here but they are the same. It’s just clicking on the target and letting your character use a simple atack on it.

#7

Oh! So, it’s just the basic attack, that it performs over and over until you cancel or the enemy dies? (So like CTRL+Click on an enemy in Ragnarok Online?)
Ahaha, I thought it was some sort of special auto-retaliation system, where your character gets into some guard mode, and attacks enemies that attack your character

#8

Not meaning to hijack the thread here, but what about Stats? I too got interested in an QS auto attack build, but I’m having a really hard time deciding which stats should be focused.

The doubt here is between STR and DEX, certainly. It seems full DEX builds were only good at the iCBTs, because of the max lvl being 200. Now that things are different, it’s hard for me to understand which spread is better. Should it be a 3:1 ratio to STR and DEX? Does anyone have any knowledge on stat builds for AA Archers?

#9

Hmm since I think I’m more or less set on my build…well I hate to sound like a broken record, but does anyone have info on SR c2’s skills?

All I know is they get a skill that shoots the crossbow and gun at the same time but I have no idea how well it scales.

#10

yeah like League of legends ‘right click’ :smiley:

Take a look at TOSbase’s skill simulator, it’ll help you out :slight_smile:

Hello Vektor!
Can you help me?
I posted a SR PvP Oriented, I want some advices from people that played or are playing on KToS. I`m not so sure if my builds are correct.
1 Doubt is with SR for PvP is good to be QS or Ranger?
Thanks a lot!

Hello!

Sadly I don’t think I can be of much help. I haven’t played in KToS and PvP really isn’t my thing…

However, during my Quarrel Shooter research, I found 2 very usefull threads:


This one is very nice for you because it shows that Running Shot works with SR’s mounted autoattack. So in theory you could move quickly while shooting very fast :slight_smile:

The other thread is this:


It helped me understand the class a bit better and build my QS3 build. I hope it helps you as well!

EDIT: From what I gather, Ranger is used for AoE when the other classes you intend to pick don’t have many tools for it.

Vektor!
Thank you so much…because of that I think that my Ranger will become a QS…
Much guys are doing Musketeer with QS, however I think that my Schwarze Reiter can take advantage from the auto attack of QS…
:slight_smile:

Yes, Running Shot seems to be extremely good!

My plan is to go for Acher > QS > QS > QS> Archer > Scout > Falconer

The idea is to get Swift Step + Kneeling Shot + Running Shot, get in a barrel and shoot things forever. If things start to look grim, I’ll have a crazy high movespeed thanks to all those skills. Falconer looks cool to me because Hanging Shot seems very usefull with an auto attack build. I could however change the last two classes to Falconer > Musketeer too if I feel like Scout will be worse than Musketeer (which it very well might).

It certainly helps your plans that QS skills work with Bow and Pistols. Your character will be very spammy, hehe!

Apparently my thread’s been hijacked lol, not really an issue though XD

Well since there seems to be no info about SR c2, I’ll go ahead and derail my own thread further by asking about Ranger stat distribution.

My question is how exactly do you build a Ranger/skill spam Archer?

To me it looks like you have to split your stats between STR, DEX, CON, and SPR and I can’t think of a way to do that without gimping my character.
