Help me make the best of Scout C3 [Split Arrow Build]

Class and Rank Archer
#1

First things first. here is the build:

Stats Progression - STR . CON . INT . SPR . DEX : 1.1.0.1.1

CON: 40~60
SPR: 50
STR/DEX: 1:1
INT: 0 (Not needed)

On the first levels you should put the stats splitted to not suffer from the natural progression of mobs. Your damage even with low STR/DEX will do enough until Lv 60~ So you can invest in CON and SPR for survival and skill spam (first Tiers Oblique Shot and later on Split Arrow/Covering Fire).

Something to be aware of when you talk about Oblique Shot. Lv 1 the cost is 9 and Lv 5 the cost is 18. But the damage is not doubled! So you’ll be using A LOT MORE SP than needed! Conclusion: Even with this being our Bread and Butter skill for a long time, Lv 1 will be more than enough!

For Bosses you’ll have some good Burst skills on Multi Shot, Twin Arrows, Head Shot and Snipe.

As Crowd Control you’ll have Full Draw, Heavy Shot and Flu Flu.

For defense you’ll have the amazing Camouflage and possibly Cloaking, also Swift Step gives Evasion.

I’m not sure about Flare Shot, the damage sounds good but it will be at best a filler skill. (You can combo Flare Shot + Heavy Shot so the mobs will be knocked back where the second hit of the skill triggers).

The final mention on skills goes to Scan (i guess you can count on that as utility?)

What do you guys think? I’m accepting good criticism and tips for improvement!

It’s kind of pointless having any higher than 6 or 7 points in Swift Step, since the duration eclipses its cooldown at that point.

At lv 7 you have +12% Evasion, +5% Moving Speed, -9 Defense (not relevant) and 18 seconds of duration.

At lv 15 you have +20%, +19 Moving Speed, -1 Defense and 60 seconds of duration.

So, +8% Evasion, +14% MS, Basically nullify loss of defense and gets 3 times the normal duration.

I think it has a lot of gain! The only bad part is the SP consumption that goes from 10 to 42, but 30 SP for a long duration skill is not that much anyway \o/

Also, where would you put the rest of the points?

Full Draw? The skill is used more for utility than damage, and at lv 8 you already have 13 seconds of Skew (more than enough I think)

Keeling Shot? IMO the skill is for AA based build (more focused on STR/DEX), not the case here.

Heavy Shot ? Also used for Utility.

Maybe maxing Oblique Shot can be good, but the SP scaling makes it too costly T-T

I guess in the end it is only a matter of personal choice, and I’ll go with the benefits from Lv 15 Swiftstep over any other on the Cicle :wink:
