Favorite archer build you've played so far?

Class and Rank Archer
#21

My preferred ET build would consists of A2R1Wu2SR2

Although it contradicts what I’ve said earlier and because we have the nerfed steady aim, SR2 will still be archer’s strongest continuous AoE DPS. And because we don’t have ktos’s steady aim, we have to make up for the lack of damage and Wugushi is just that class to make up for it.

The only other build I can think of that can safely attack from a distance will be A3Wu2Falc1Cannoneer in order to still give some support to the team. The only problem with this build is we’ve yet to confirm if the Circling nerf in ktos that disallow negative -AoE attack ratio is true or not. We’ve yet to receive discrete evidence. So far we’ve only heard from two sources that falconer is only good with cannoneer now which will hit Multishot + Circling hard if it is true.

I planned on it to make iDreamy’s build in preparation for Hackapeller.

so far… my A1>QS1>QS2>QS3>A2>Scout1>Musketeer1 build. currently at rank 5 and i’m enjoying every moment of it. a lot more enjoyable than my first attempt at an archer build.

#25

Hi @Punkd, does that means that if mobs stay inside the whole 6 secs duration of Throw Gu Pot, after it ends their poison won’t last an addition 4 secs from the attribute since they are “out” of it"?

#26

That’s correct. The residual poison attribute only applies if they exit the poison pool before it ends.

#27

So far QS C3 > Falc. I may be rerolling because falconer is so boring and the only skill that is usefull is Circling, not my kind of DPS character and the falcon seems to take 1 slot of your character lodge!

#28

Thanks for your insight.

5 OC w/ 7s CD. /202020202202

#30

NO WAY! 7 seconds CD? god demn it… no wonder i’ve seen alot of archer has c3 tsk… didnt knew this i might re-roll another char arrgghh. thanks for the info!

#31

Oh, and just 27sp per use. XD Awesome semi-AA burst.

#32

Hey, Running Shot + Hanging Shot = Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II

PVP-wise, Hovering and Pheasant (if I’m right) provides knockdown too.

I have 3 archers currently,

A2-QS3-SR2 : My current main and even though I did consider retiring it but after getting it geared, it just sort of became a killing machine in it’s own way albeit having some odd/buggy mechanics and 2 (3 if you want to throw Wild Shot into the mix too) fairly useless skills, which is a shame and I hope can be improved in future. A2 QS3 is cookie cutter that is only 2nd to Wiz3-Ele3-Warlock for being most overplayed class but at SR2, Retreat Shot 10 with AOE Attack Ratio EQs and the right set up/situation just wrecks things, love the way it plays even though it has noticeably glaring flaws.

A-Ranger2-Wugushi2 (Planned build : A1-Ranger2-Wugushi3-Cannoneer) : Retired and became kind of a dungeon camper. Extremely heavy SP usage and it’s high maintenance nature (namely the poison and attributes for lowering venom usage etc) makes me discontinue this one. I do want to try out another Wugushi build in the future because I personally love the whole poison DOT theme and it was fun while it lasted, especially against bosses.

A2-Sapper2-Rogue-Scout-Cannon : My ‘official’ alt. Recommended to me by another player on a sapper thread I made. Currently rank 6 and it’s been a nice ride so far setting up traps, capturing all kinds of things and then unleashing them on any mobs who dare cross my path. When I get lazy or there’s too many OP mobs, just cloak, run past them and laugh at them.

Nice builds, though I’d be making slight adjustments on some.

A2 QS3 SR2 is underrated. It can handle ET with the right party composition, possibly one of the best sustained DPS build for an Archer class.

Didn’t realize a Wugu build would be an SP hog, but I can understand because there’s also Cannon and Ranger in the mix (skill spam).

Still a good build though, but I’d swap a rank in ranger for Archer2 for S.step crit rate to improve my cannon skills as well as a stronger Multishot (lv.12 w/ gem and d. might).

Super like this one. Great synergy between all classes. You can also swap out a rank in Archer for Ranger.

#35

For me its its AOE dps =p…
Ar 2>Sapper 2 > wugu 3

Watch the poison flys as wugong gu procs on everyone XD

Plus wugu pot… that skill is a killer

#36

I like my A1>Qs3>R1>Sr2, I’ve tried ranger fletcher too however there’s too mnay buttons to press. Considering there would be cards for % backstabs soon Rogue would be a beast.

#37

Yeah I know and im using it also, but having a small duration with hanging shot and super long cooldown is boring also this Hovering knockdown your falcon waits the target to get up just to attack again these consumes the hovering duration and its horrible. PS. Pheasant is a Trash damage with high cooldown so Falconer is only good for Circling.

#38

Makes sense, and I agree that the CDs are just horrible and that there are other better options. Still viable though.

#39

what level are you now with this build? i want to try this one but i’m having doubts that it might just fall off late game

#40

I’ve made 3 Hunters. Im making another again I love the class. Since I want to stop playing Ktos its time to make a Falconer here.

Also Ranger C3 Full Draw + Spiral Arrow combo made me burst out laughing.
22k at flipping level 80. How the hell is that a thing. I love it.
