Hello,
i would like advice about the path i should take :
Archer 1 | Quarrel 3 | Archer 2 | Schwarzer 2
or
Archer 1 | Ranger 3 | Archer 2/Rogue 1 | Schwarzer 2
or
another one ?
Thank you.
A2-QS3-SR2 here and this build as you might have expected, tends to lean towards being an AA single target burst DPS than the R3 variant. The core of this build centers around QS3’s running shot for the most part as with any other AA build until you unlock SR in which you get Retreat Shot and Concentrated Fire (all semi-AOE skills with the right equipments) to add to the cycle while Running Shot is on CD. On the QS3 side, you also have Rapid Fire for crit debuff usage, caltrops for another somewhat aoe additional damage and stone shot if you really want to PVP. A2 side also gives you Swift Step 10 and Multishot 10, which are always nice to have. Also get a grand cross, it’s a must have for all QS3.
A2-R3-SR2 is definitely the better choice for AOE/skill based playstyle. This build also allows for more lethal firepower across all skills courtesy of Steady Aim buff. Barrage 15 will be the center of this build. The question of Rogue1 vs Archer2 then comes down to whether you prefer Swift Step 10 and Multi Shot 10 or the feint-barrage combo, which while nice on paper, I believe will dismount you upon usage of feint so if you don’t find mounting and dismounting annoying then there you go. Sneak hit is also good but requires certain set up and situations. I would argue that this build tends to be less gear based, but tend to be more SP intensive than the QS3 variant.
These are the more common builds because each class synergies perfectly and for the most part, don’t require that you mount and dismount all the time, which is and will be a huge annoyance especially when grinding at high density areas. Most SR I know who tries to do questionable actions such as going Musketeer/Cannoneer at Rank 7 or trying to fit Scout/Sapper/Wugushi etc tend to regret it later on.
Thank you for the answer.
Yeah i want to know more about this because i’m afraid we get a nerf from Ktos about QS3.
I prefer to never dismounting.
A2-R3-SR2 > so i will use often barrage and retreat shot ?
Barrage is one of your core skills as a Ranger Reiter so yes. Of course, it’s not all Barrage and Retreat Shot, you also have to work in your other skills like Concentrated Fire/Bounce Arrow/Spiral Arrow/Multi Shot 10 (5 if you went rogue) etc at your own discretion since Retreat Shot has a rather lengthy 40 second CD.
Ok thank you so much !
Can you post a build A2/R3/Sc2 that i can use ?
And what about the stats ?
A standard A2-R3-SR2 would be something like this, you can take a point off Time Bomb Arrow and put it into Critical Shot if you would like to add another 0 CD spammable skill to your rotation.

while a Rogue variant would be something like this

Stats are personal preference, you could go 40-60 Con by 280 and 2:1 Str/Dex or Vice Versa,
Ok ^^
Last question, what should i take as weapon ? because grand cross is for quarrel shooter
You can just use the best eq available per level and arde dagger (I did not use arde when I was still a QS3, had a ludas shield instead) till 170 when you could work towards using a Manamana + Cata shooter/Isbality/Karacha Xbow etc and bow choice could be Khasti/Viper/Maga Bow, explore and see what fits you best.
