Archer 2 X Scout 1 Flecther 3
What could be put into X?
Archer 3 for Twin Arrows and lvl 15 multishot?
or
Ranger for barrage + 10% damage boost from steady aim?
(This toon will be made for world boss hunting)
And how much con is necessary for a WB hunting character btw? (minimal con possible, if no con is possible, tell me how e-e)
Archer 2 > Ranger > Scout > Fletcher 3 is the current meta for iTOS. Keep in mind that Steady Aim just lasts for 10 seconds so you can only cast at most 2 magic arrows with that. I think the Scout-Fletcher will excel more in PVP so I’d rather put Sapper for the Detonate Traps against enemy magic circles on TBL or GvG (no Broom Trap though since it’s for Sapper 2). Archer > Ranger 3 > Fletcher 3 will still beat you in terms of DPS if you want to focus on WB hunting. I am a Ranger 3 myself and I have 30 con with 11k HP at level 276. I can have 19k HP with Grynas Set, max Plate Mastery, HP gems, HP headgears, and Maga Bow to fight against those level 275+ bosses. I think 0 con is viable since you’ll be relying more on dodge during boss hunting.
Did you go high dex on your build or 2:1 str/dex ratio? I’m currently trying out a baby archer and wanted to know if I can go focus on str/dex and ignore con. I just started playing the game so I don’t have funds to buy expensive items like petamion. Archer is really fun to play but all this debate and threads about the optimal stats makes me dizzy… 
just read discussions about A2. almost all archer builds need a2 to be optimal even pure str builds
I have already read those, my main concern for now is Archer 3 vs ranger 1
These are the two builds i have in mind for now, i am trying to select one of these for WB hunting:
Basically it is a:
1600% + 3584 base damage (2 OH) and 200% + 640 (5 OH 7 secs cd)
against
1100% + 1771 ( 2OH) and 500% + 1250 (3 OH 17 secs CD) + 10% damage boost for 10 seconds (25 secs CD) (steady aim)
Do not forget, the focus is WB hunting, i already started to level this toon >.>
R3F3 is better than A2XSc1F3 only on Boss Hunt because 20% damage from Steady Aim level 15 of R3 is, of course, higher than 10% damage from Steady Aim of R1. A2XSc1F3 is more versatile though because Cloak adds 5 movespeed so you can search boss faster and is good for PVP.
25% crit rate full uptime outclasses steady aim 20%. Thus ranger 3 has no place, unless you have, like, not crit rate gear or gems.
But farming in this game isnt that complicated.
And lvl 5 flare shot > 15% steady aim.
Now you have: Archer 2 > ranger 3.
Scout 1 > ranger 2.
Thus, they go in the ranks as follow:
A R R R F F F
A R A Sc F F F
There is a player that ran many tests regarding these skills and its comparisons, you may spend a bit of time around the forums reading about those discussions.
you can even go without taking ranger. and you’ll do fine. R3 is for retards blindly following an outdated guide in that trash of a website called tosbase.com
i cringe every time i see a low level R3 F3.
If don’t taking ranger C1 then which class to fill?
A3?
QS1?
A2 sap2 F3
Post must be at least 20 characters
The option is: Don’t be a ■■■■■■■ pussy and skip fletcher for something less boring and stop licking meta’s balls.
The meta is: be a fletcher, farm world boss, get rich / geared, THEN reroll something less “boring”.
But i have 3 archers, for what am i gonna use all of them? at least one of them has to be a meta. O_O
A2 R1 Scout1, good dps, barrage is a good skill, scout lets you pvp and find world bosses faster, and it transitions into rank8 nicely.
i currently had a a2r1scout1 fletcher 2 now. what cnatomos said is true. scout provides better movement speed which allow fletchers to find the boss first before anyone does. if an a2Xscout1 F3 vs a a2 ranger 3 Fletcher 3 with same gears and stats, ill say r3 fletcher 3 wins. On the other hand, fletchers with scout in its build can do quest easily without being attacked by other mobs. as we all know, in the later on maps, mobs can hit hard like a truck.
