DEX Cannoneer for GvG

I’m resetting one of my characters and plan on going for a full DEX cannoneer build for GvG. I’m considering the following baseline for my new build:

A2>QS1>Sc1>XX>Ca2

What fillers would you suggest for ranks 5 and 6?

  • A2>QS1>Sc1>Fl2>Ca2 : Fletcher 2 (broadhead & bodkin) could help boosting my single target dps.

  • A2>QS1>Sc1>A3>Fa1>Ca2 : Archer 3 > Falconer may also be a good choice in order to maximize AoE and attack range with kneeling shot.

Have you tried any build similar to the above ones? How was your experience with it?

–edit–
Meh GvG. I know nothing.

Tbl right now only lets you use 2 pavises per match (not per round). I’m not sure if it’s intended or not, but you probably should know it

That seems to me more of a bug. In any case, I’m not for dropping QS1. I like and I’m already used to the defensive utility it adds to the archer gameplay, both PvP and PvE wise.

Regarding the fletcher 2 vs falconer topic:

  • How does broadhead + bodkin dps scale in late game?
  • How useful is circling in GvG and TBL?

I’d swap A3 for a circle in Hunter for more CC and easy targeting with Cannon skills.

You can cast Pointing and just let your pet stick near to enemy targets while you’re cloaked. Burst player 1 down, coursing on player 2.

Bodkin for removing shields is really good, but we’re yet to see mobs with super high pDef that the -%def debuff would become significant.

Broadhead can be blocked by shield users, especially coming from a full DEX fletcher.

I’m not sure about GvG, but in TBL people just avoid it unless they get CC’ed (MF, F. Pillar, etc.).

kneeling short range applies to canoneer skills ? :open_mouth:

If the other team has a Sage and a Plague Doc, your shots will deal 1 damage and your ranks in Fletcher pointless.

If you want to be usefull, get Scout c3 and max your cloaking. Together with a Linker c2 or c3 you will be very helpfull for your team.

I’m not familiar with Sage and Plague Doctor abilities. How can they nullify fletcher’s dps? Defense buffs?

I don’t see much utility in maxing cloaking. Cloaking lvl 5 is more than enough. So going Scout c3 would mean spending two ranks just to get split arrow and maxing flare shot. It’s a good alternative for PvE, but not so much usefull for GvG and/or TBL.

What other alternatives do I have? What about taking rogue c2?

  • A2>Ra1>Sc1>Ro2>Ca2

missile hole :frowning:
/why20

is cannoneer even viable in pvp, gvg?

Missile (Ass)hole exists
No we are not viable until IMC fix their stupid balance decisions
One rank can nullify an entire base class welcome to the archer life

i can see how scout cannoneers and SRs can be viable in gvg and blowing up bunch of peeps
muskets can also be good especially for high single target burst, also good with scout to be able to execute the enemy healer/damage dealer
but until missile hole is being nerfed to only in pve, archers are basically useless, because almost no guild is gonna queue to gvg without a sage in it.
In TBL if you get lucky and not have a sage then you’re good

how about pve? I love the archer design and cannons look amazing.

If you want a cannoneer for pve, wugu3 is not an uncommon way to do it.

I’m actually running an archer2 > sapper3 > rogue > can1 and finding very good. You can swap rogue for falconer, but since cannonneer is being buffed, I grabbed rogue for crits and double broom trap.
