ahahah this is REALLY funny, I will quote myself on a post I did on a hackapell build on another site:
"Hi darknova, I’m rolling a similar build to try something different then SR for solmiki, couz I’m sick off just perma retrat shooting into meltis. Since I’m not a fan of mergen at all, I want to make at least one try with hackapell.
A2/Ranger2(AKA15%SteadyAimTooGoodWithMeltis)/fletch3/hacka
I have a big question that is torturing me. Should I go 1 point in crossfire (80+ attri) or not? Given the content where I will play him, skipping 1 aoe skill (even if I know it’s bad) doesn’t sound better then 14/15 broadhead vs 13/15.
Talking about practo weapon: I was thinking as well to go abdochar, but right now I’m going orange xbow couz the mats are that easier to grind, plus I want to have 6 yellow gem total, so in the end I started grinding xbow that will go with imperni (only malus of that blue weap 6/9 potential after gem slot, hope to go +10 at 1st try).
Talking about hacka skills, why only 1 point in charge? the animation is bad, but the damage to SP cost ratio to me looks like should be good at 5/5. Also, I never bothered with Time bomb in pve (pretty minor, lets be honest ranger is good for barrage and steady aim+meltis, everything else sucks even at lvl 3), for the same reason leg shot is a 0/5 for me.
I will stack aoe ratio since it is good on hacka (plus multishot and anchor, if the latest is even a thing…), plus gived lolo 2nd bonus set I can stack enough crit rate to go with 100% crit rate considering quicken and some extra points for STR (going more then ZERO con on a min/maxed archer with a mount make no sense, let’s be honest)
lolo leather top/bottom, vubbe gloves, windrunner, orange xbow, imperni, 2x gladi (+10 for decent magic def, I don’t like phada evasion malus in tandem with windrunner) and max peta final set up… Only missing xbow atm, will see how it goes.
Now, I really need an answer on that damned 1 crossfire with 13/15 broadhead or 0 cross fire with 14/15 broadhead.
Hope I can move out that doomed (and wait too good with meltis) SR with a decent success "
You are not the only one thorn on crossfire atm. Anyway don’t go more then 1 point unless you wanna kill your SP (the damage increase from skill level of crossfire is one of the worst in the entire game, anyway).
For reference, this is the skill build I think I’m gonna try at 1st:
