Hi,
I’ve seen a few guides about archers and this kind of build, but could someone help me listing the equipment progression for this build? Only heard about the arde dagger.
Thanks \õ
Recipe drops from Lv240 missions, bind on pickup.
I would like to hear not only about the 2nd weapon, but overall, sets, weapons, acessories, if possible.
Thanks 
Cafrisun Set is your best friend. You will use it until lvl 170.
You’ll probably be using it well into your 220’s
I keep hearing about grand cross. Are you supposed to use running shot while it’s equipped and change weapons or literally use grand cross until didel?
Full str great at start but worst at late game, please be more specific information and mislead. @ op do research, Google reddit. Guy like @vanizshotz will only troll at u
Thanks for the reply guys !!
About my build, I’ll probably add str till 100, then, full dex to maximize kneeling. About equipments, after cafrisun, what should I aim? Btw, I’m having a few problems tanking ranged units with this set (even beign level 50 atm), should I upgrade it? +?
For weapons, grand cross till what level too? Is it hard to drop? Should I go for Archer 3 or Falconeer, beign PvE oriented?
This class is considered a DPS at late parties? I’ll have trouble finding party with it?
Thanks again
Upgrade Cafrisun set up to +10 if you can, I suggest at least +3~+5 up to lvl 100, but as soon as you get Running Shot and a Grand Cross you will smash monster so quick you won’t take damage.
Upgrade Grand Cross up to +10 if you can, but try to get at least +5~+8 as soon as possible to make it last longer w/o hindering your damage too much.
As soon as you feel like doing it, you can calculate: (Physical Dmg * Running Shot lv5 dmg bonus) and compare it with (Physical Dmg * Running Shot lv7 dmg bonus) with your new weapon and grand cross equipped respectively.
Whenever your dmg with a new weapon * RS lv5 surpasses your dmg with GC * RS lv7 you can get a new weapon, but still keep GC and change weapon to cast the buff for longer duration.
If you wanna farm dg solo go full dex, trust me.
Wasn’t it was already proved by recent spreadsheet, that Kneeling shot Archers/Musketeers favors DEX heavily over STR at basically any gear lvls?
How about the equips? Acce and stuffs?
With max RS and GC your running shot will last for 27 seconds, I mean for min maxing purposes you could switch during the 8 second downtime but to be honest it’s not really worth the money it would cost to get a 2ndary. Instead use your skills during the downtime, also if you happen around 3 RS Gems (good luck), thats 33 seconds with a 2 second downtime. At 280% attack + arde/ice elemental shield (shield is better than arde btw you just have to farm the 115 dungeon for it as it’s not tradable), that should cover all your needs till 220. Keep a gun if you need it for skills from other classes in weapon swap, or a musket etc.
The reason shield is better is because of block rate combined with atk steroid you get from blocking missile attacks for the weight of the shield and survivability (block saves lives).
While I wont tell you what stats to build (that is completely up to you, I’m high con mid dex and a splash of spr for sp recovery/block pen/and some magic resist as I want to not have to use pots every 20 seconds and like not getting 1 shot by magic.
Eq that goes well with it are triple elemental damage headgear, elemental off hand, elemental accessories, and cafrisun. Although cafi can be swapped out for other sets later. QS3 can mix with just about anything unless your doing high skill spam. I personally like Wu with it but that is my own preference since it synergies well with the elemental eq and gives you stuff to do in between downtime.
P.S. save up your GAs for it because your going to need this thing to be at bare minimum +10 and dual socketed.
Max petamion, 2x sissel brace or 2x that other one dropped from cerberus,depending on your build…
this si my question why sissiles? Most people that go Rs pair it with kneeling so they go high dex. tag that along with going musk or cannon that thier skills do more dmg with dex over str. if this is the case you never miss and never get to use the proc of sissles. I just dont see the point in it if you aren’t takeing full advantage of it.
As I said,all depends on your build and what you want to do.
how about mana-mana as subweapon? does QS3 AA deal more dmg by using mana-mana?
just asking since mana-mana is not listed here at all.
