Already I have much re-read at a forum, but I can’t decide that it is better to choose. Build is focused one PVE more (world bosses hunting, instance/dungeon daily mission… Earth Tower at the end). I very much like Wugushi, but if it isn’t in assembly, it doesn’t matter. Considering all patches at the moment ( So:
A1 > ??? > ??? > ??? > ??? > ??? > Cannoneer
Both sapper and wugushi have great AoE so I would go Archer 2 > Sapper 2 > Wugushi 2 > Cannoneer, which is what I am going, but I might go musketeer instead.
Archer 2 is good for swift step, more multishot, and kneeling shot (disputable on kneeling shot, some like it, others don’t).
Sapper 2 is great because of broom trap, don’t go sapper 3 because spike shooter is garbage. Stake stockades is good but has small hitbox, punji stake is great but hard to setup because it takes 3 seconds, claymore is decent but expensive early, detonate traps is useful for bosses, and Collar bomb is good but doesnt work half the time. Most of these skills are very situational, but broom trap is amazing.
Wugushi 2 because AI is bad and jincan gu at circle 3 is bad because of that. Zhendu is good for parties, needle blow can do a lot of damage, and wugong gu is amazing for mobbing. Throw gu pot is also great AoE damage, and most of all, different poisons stack, making them huge DPS on bosses. However, the downside to wugushi is it is completely nullified by plague doctor and the 0 cooldown antidote bought from shops, making it USELESS in pvp, though you sound much more pve focused so it should be ok.
Thanks a lot for such detailed and developed answer! Just what I wanted to hear. Why it is worth taking for example only 2 circles, but not 3. I am a beginner in this game. I read that the musketeer is suitable for PVP more.
Musketeer is better for pvp, but musketeer really shines with a linker in your party in pve. For example, Snipes damage is huge and you can do that to all linked mobs.
In regards to not taking C3, most classes go C3 to benefit from new great C3 skills that aren’t available to C2. For example, elementalists go C3 for Frost Cloud which does huge damage and chronomancers go C3 because Pass is an insanely good skill that reduces cooldowns, making it useful in any situation. If you want to stay in the archer circle for an example, Quarrel shooter is considered good because at C3, it gets running shot and effectively has machine gun auto-attacks.
On the other hand classes like sapper and wugushi do not get a great skill C3, they both get their best skill at C2 (broom trap and throw gu pot). Unless you want to go to C3 for extra damage on already existing skills, its not really worth it.
Show please build for A2 > S2 > W2/W3.
