I have to say I’ve made a lot of Alts, I have about 5 archer Alts that made it past 150 with my main being my 255 Fletcher3, but my favorite build to play so far is my QS3 A2 Schwarz Reiter2.
Amazing costume, super mobile, gameplay is really engaging and fun because it relies so much on positioning rather than juggling cool downs.
what are the skill that can be used while mounting? that’s what most people who want SR problems please share them.
Greetings!
I currently have 3 archers.
A2>Sapper2>Rogue>Schwarzer Reiter
Currently level 200, planning to go SR2.
A3> Scout
Currently lvl 96, planning to go Scout 3> something.
This one is mainly for farming with split Arrow.
A1>Ranger2> Wugushi
Also on lvl 96, planning to go Wugushi 3> Musketeer.
This one for world bossing.
My first character was the cookie cutter r3-f3, but I didn’t enjoy the gameplay.
I really like SR a lot for the mobility, skills and of course, the outfit(sooo cool!).
A2>Sapper C2>Hunter C2>Falconer
Classic hunter play utilizing pets and traps. Not Falconer yet but so far it’s been fun as hell. Haven’t seen a similar build yet either.
archer c3 > scout > rogue c3
it’s not amazing but the build 's gameplay is pretty interesting, not boring and just run and shoot like most of archer type.
Hunter so far has been a blast, even with all the bugs. Sapper is also a LOT of fun. I should make another one.
My first Archer is A2 QS3 SR2, retreat shot plus running shot if well positioned is OP. Currently im playing A1 QS3 Wugushi 1 and loving it. Wugushi is the add on to QS3 that i was looking for. 
A2QS3SR2 - my favorite so far and my first archer, put it on hold 3 weeks ago after ktos Retreat Shot nerf but playing after playing a variety of archers, it’d only made me lose interest in the game so I picked it up again.
A1QS3Wu2Cannoneer - retired
A3Wu2 - retired
A2R1Wu2SR1 - retired
A2R1S1 - in progress
Ar1 / QS3 / Ar2 maybe.
So far im having lots of fun, the build crits around 40 to 60% but the problem is I need to invest in some serious gear (+15 Grand Cross and elemental proc)
Which one is better for farming qs or scout?
i’m curious about your qs3wu2cannoneer
how was it? was this full str build?
played alot but Archer2/Sapper2/Rogue/Ranger/Musketeer is my favorite right now
A3 Scout1 Hunt1 Falcon1 Cannon1
EDIT: The “press all the buttons” build.
I’m at A1>QS3. Running shot is just awesome. My fav so far.
Now I just need to figure out where to go. Thinking of musk as final destination but SR looks nice too.
Either QS c3 or Scout c3 are my favourite ones. Also build that has ranger c1, rqgue c1 are cool too.
I like Scout 3 better, because of split Arrow hitting 3 monsters for a huge damage.
It also comes with cloaking, that is very useful for late game farming survivability.
But Qs3 might be cheaper, because you don’t have to bring a lot of sp pots every time you go farming.
I guess te biggest diference between qs3 and Scout 3, is that one is more single target oriented, so the farming may be slower.
Edit: I forgot to mention that with Scout, you can get big damage against flying mobs.
Switching weapons after running Shot would make it lose about 80% damage and duration, since you probably’d have a Grand cross.
Yes it was a full STR build but with 21 CON. The reason why I dropped it was because it was supposed to be my ET build for my party but the more I played it and realize some of its mechanics/scaling, the more I’ve become to dislike it after realizing its shortcomings. If I went musketeer I probably would’ve kept playing it for bossing.
These are just some of my findings and my own personal opinion.
Wugushi: skills scales at 1:1 with physical attack. Testing with my +13 grand cross and switching to my superior kracked shooter, I gained a total of 151 max physical attack and my WugongGu also gained a max of 151 more damage per poison tick. The class is reliant on other classes in order to maximize it’s damage. We’re talking Linker’s joint penalty, Pardoner’s Discerning Evil and hoping maybe the mobs are flying for 2x poison damage on flying mobs with a bow or weak against poison for +50% poison damage.
Needle Blow: scales terribly - linear. It looks good early game but once I started leveling my attribute, I noticed it was increasing at about 4 damage per attribute for each poison tick and it remains that way both at Lv160 and again at 230 concluding it doesn’t scale based on my physical attack. Imagine getting it’s attribute to lv100 just for 400 more dmg per tick 12000 damage overall for a Wu2.
WugongGu: again scales terribly - linear (other classes scales multiplicative). Like needle blow it scales linear as well but better than needle blow at 10 damage more per poison tick per attribute level. Again that’s 1000 damage more per poison damage tick and about 30000 overall damage for Wu2.
Throw Gu Pot: contrary to popular beliefs this skill is actually quite weak. The only good thing about it is it’s a true AoE. It’s weaker than WugongGu even though it hits harder per tick, it’s short. 2 hits per second for 5 second (it doesn’t hit for the first second) totaling 10 hits on a 35 second CD. The only way to maximize it was to somehow get a mob to stand in it for 4s and run out to take another 4s of residual poison which is impractical.
tl:dr Wugushi skills scales horribly late game compared to other classes and their attributes. It eventually gets overshadowed and just becomes complimentary damage because it has to run it’s full duration in order to even maximize. Single target however is amazing because of stacking Needle Blow and WugongGu when with QS route.
Cannoneer: AoE disappointed me (remember ET focused) you need AoE attack ratio without falconer.
Cannon Shot: 8 AoE attack ratio
Cannon Blast: 10 AoE attack ratio
Sapper’s broom trap has a low base damage, but it can be amplified by crits (x1.5) and letahrgy attribute (x2) and that’s why it has so much damage potential as AoE. The reason it combos well with wugushi is because it can actually spread wugong gu very fast.
But true AoE damage in ET would probably go to SR2.
By the way, what are you planning on doing with your A2R1S1, got me curious
