I would like to know too… atm I’m in this huge debate of using a xbow or bow.
Depends what you shooting at. The multishot with a STR build 1 shots quests bosses pretty often, but demands critical rate gear, so I spend some time farming them. And the ranger till now can clear lot of mobs with the 3 uses of barrage he gets. With a chrono/linker the AA QS3 do some stupid damage on dungeons too. But I’ve heard the fletchers also get benefits from the crono/linker, so I made this alter char to test it.
So I have a feeling the ranger will lvl up faster, not just because he grinds a LOT more (grinding with AA chars sucks, you have to do quests and dungeons), but because I now have money, equipment and a High lvl char to farm them for my ranger. I also think he’ll do more damage overall. Altough, I havn’t got bored while lvling up the the QS3, he is pretty independant on quests and I do like to play solo. The ranger spammer is only viable because the game is giving us toons of mana pots, otherwise you’ld having a lot of trouble lvling him up.
What about a1->r2->??->f3? I think r3 is not nescessary since it’s only relevant for steady aim 15.
To fill this gap I was thinking about a2 for multishot 10, scout for cloaking or maybe hunter for some support skills
A2 is good. Multishot 10/10 with the charge speed attribute is about equal to Spiral Arrow, while the +25% crit rate from the Swift Step attribute is more damage than +5% on steady aim. Bouncing Shot is made obsolete by Crossfire.
Heavy Shot is a decent replacement filler for Barbed Arrow against Plate enemies.
I would only go A3/R1 if you want the Archer 3 costume. Twin Arrow is useful as a filler against Ghost/Plate enemies, but losing the 5% damage on Steady Aim for no gain on Fletcher skills is hard to argue for.
What should i do for FLETCHER 3?
BroadHead 15 / Crossfire 15 / Magic Arrow 10 / Divine Machien Arrow 5 ?
And more… Is Barbed Arrow really that good? Should I switch BroadHead 15 by Barbed Arrow 15?
Are any of the 220 bows worth using over Khasti/Maga?
Marksman is decent, don’t think it’s worth taking over Khasti

This, maxing Barbed arrow vs Broadhead. Barbed arrow can be nullified by ghost armor and Broadhead can be resisted. So hard to choose, good thing there’s a skill reset =)
Ghost armor isn’t very popular though so with the present content up to Earth Tower I would say Barbed, if this changed in the future and everything is ghost in future patches we would definitely switch it.
I almost reach fleetcher 3 and quite confused about broadhead and crossfire. Is Broadhead 9 points and crossfire 5 points good enough? (I lost 1 point because I put it to bodkin point)
What should i max on my Fletcher C3 for WORLD BOSS, seeing as most of them are Plate or Ghost.
Broadhead, of couse 
(If you have high STR)
What sould i max as SPAM SKILL ?
Right now going A2 is clearly a better decision than R3 because they published the crit formula. Apparently as your level gets higher, with the same crit rate you will crit less. Late game 25% crit is actually worth A LOT of crit rate. 1% = roughly 6.6 at lv280.
I think to balance this they should make it so that steady aim duration increases with skill level, and not just a flat 10 worthless seconds…
The game isn’t tailored around “World Bosses” if that’s all your bothered about then sure go Broadhead.
But Earth Tower is endgame, if you have no intention on doing this ie getting the best gear in game then Broadhead will be the skill for you.
Swift Step attribute is a 25% bonus to crit rate, not crit chance.
If you have 400 crit rate (easily achievable) at level 280, its 100 crit rate, which is about 15% crit chance.
Yeah “Steady Aim” took a huge nerf before coming to OBT it used to be a lot higher, however while Archers are still top tier in PvE I don’t see it changing any time soon.
Does anyone knows if the bleeding from broadhead scales with STR or just with skill lvl?
Thanks
Scales with weapon damage, skill level only increases initial hit and duration.

Can someone explain to me what makes maga bow better than viper/khasti?
I can semi understand Khasti but in my opinion Khasti and Viper seem to be equal with each other
