With Archer C2 you could probably get 10/10 Swift Step & 10/10 Multi Shot, Heavy Shot would be mainly for PvP due to the knock back & Kneeling Shot would also be no good as we need to stay mobile as possible.
Sure, but Swift Step would get to 100% uptime.
This means:
-
25% crit rate, +5% evasion, +5% mov speed while atacking, +4 defense, + better uptime in everything you already had
-
2% damage
Which is better? I see Archer C2 buff outshining Ranger buff by far. Other skills doesnāt matter, they are just a bonus.
Yeah definitely 100% up time is great, but it would mean loosing 2 skills which been a skill based build you require to make less auto attacks as possible, 5% attack damage & increased barrage damage, itās definitely another option though
Probably because Bounce Shot and Spiral Shot are two skills you can use that donāt require craftable arrows, and are still really strong.
Sure they are, but this is all about money. Crossfire deals more damage and have zero cooldown so itās not a rotation issue too. As long as you can pay for it, thereās zero reason to use Ranger C3 skills. I love them, by all means, but Fletcher is the only class I donāt see R-c3 skills having any value.
The 5% bonus from steady aim is also a true 2% bonus with the nerfed uptime. Steady Aim is great for long cd classes like Musketeer, where you can buff yourself and use these skills. While Steady Aim is off, your best skills are also on CD. It doesnāt go well with skill spamming, the strong point of fletcher.
So, with both points in mind, Ranger donāt go well with it. Unless Iām missing something big here, both Steady Aim and Ranger c3 skills have the lowest value possible when combined with Fletcher. Itās like using Wugushi with a crit based build, it will still do some damage, but itās the worst scenario for it.
I didnāt even put the party effect from Swift Step and the lv10 Multi-shot to show how far one option is from the other.
My question would be if Fletcher C3 is better then for example a Fletcher C2+cannoneer C1?
I only got to 200 in CBT so wouldnāt know for certain unfortunately however getting to the end of a circle C3 means maxing skills and picking up the final skill for that class.
Personally I would say Fletcher C3 is slightly better, your going to continue using majority of the skils youāve used in C2 + a new one.
But itās all down to personal preference and what you find fun, Iāve listed in my build what Iād go if I went Cannon or Musk.
Build has now been fully updated if you see any errors please give me a shout
Yo Bolton,
What are you doing about mana issues?
Also, is fletcher forced to use 2hbow or can you go the xbow/dagger setup?
PS. Thumbs up on build.
Nice guide, can i ask your stats? STR? DEX? SPR?
TY!
Itās at the top of the skill simulator page 
4/2/1 str dex con, he goes into a bit more detail into it as well.
I wanna know the equip too
Figured out that Fletcher can use Xbow/Dagger and other Xbow/xxxxx combos, Still unsure about the mana conservation issues. I have been trying to figure it out but still burn through mana faster then anyone else I play with making it frustrating to farm.
omg 20-30 silver per arrow. Thatās so expensive ><.
Itās pretty cheap once you get to that point.

I have a question. Is it worth putting A2 / R2 to 25% critical of swift step and 15% damage of aim step instead of A1 / R3?
Sorry for my english
Yes itās possible however you will miss out on Barrage & Steady Aim the extra damage from Barrage & the 5% extra attack from Steady Aim is the reason we go C3 on Ranger as well as 2 extra skills.
Two skills that will be almost useless when turning fletcher or am I wrong? Thank you for your attention and for the help

Depends, I still use them personally as they donāt cost arrows but only in specific circumstances.
