Help on Cannoneer build

Class and Rank Archer
#1

Hi Guys! I really want to make an alt and I’m thinking about a Cannoneer build, but I don’t have any experience with Rank 6 and above of Archer classes.

I’m thinking about Archer 2 > Ranger 1 > Scout 1 > Rogue 1 > Falcooner 1 > Cannoneer 2

Archer 2 for Swift Step and maybe Kneeling Shot (don’t know about the synergy of it with the new Bazooka skill)

Ranger for Barrage (combo with Feint) and Steady Aim for bursts

Scout 1 for utility and locomotion

Rogue 1 for more critical rate, Feint and Capture

Falcooner 1 for circling (don’t know if AoE is necessary for a Cannoneer, but AoE is always good haha)

Cannoneer 2 for pew pew boom.

My biggests doubts are about Falcooner and Cannon skills. For stats I don’t know if I go Full STR or put a little bit of DEX, what do you recommend me?

EDIT: Based on the help received I thought about these two builds

Help me rate them or propose further modification, please.

Thanks for the attention.

cannon skill need aoe ratio, if you don’t have more +atk aoe ratio or decrease enemies def ratio your cannon skills’ll hit only 4-5 target
falconer1 skill call1, circling5, hanging shot1 the rest is up to you (people prefer 5 hovering)
cannoneer skill cannon blast10, shootdown1, smoke granade(at least1), siege blast1(only for pvp propose if you don’t pvp not necessary) other skills depend on your preference, but I won’t suggest bazooka if you aren’t QS3

For stat cannon skills has high base dmg you’ll prefer high crit chance, most people prefer high DEX, but another option is go high STR relie on rogue sneak atk(you need friend to draw aggro or stack werewolf cards though)

Thanks for the reply and for the help on skills/stats. How do you rate (pros/cons) a QS3 Cann2 build from a skill spammer build like the one I posted before? Do you think Bazooka would make a significant difference on Cannoneer tree?

I think bakzooka dmg can compete with cannon shot and may even surpass if you combine with running shot and doesn’t consume much sp compare to skill spam, but problem is stationary limited ranged(min&max range)and long time setup(kneeling shot is much quicker)
usefulness of this skill I think is when party grinding.(bossing is okay but not as good as kneeling shot)(your qs3 build doesn’t haskneeling shot though)

qs3 with new qs xbow and manahas set is already strong vs single target, rogue compensate crit rate(still need stack werewolf if you solo) falconeer can do some nice aoe burst(sustain aoe possible too because of bazooka,but situational.another problem of AA is when ther’re higher rank you’ll get more skill in rotation and you might not able to do AA in full duration of running shot.

skill spam build has more space fore utility with ar2 and rogue in build you can have both option either high str and stack werewolf or high dex and has free of card choice, but your single target dmg won’t as strong as qs3 build and you need more shortcut for skills.
between two build is you don’t want to push many button and drink sp potion less often qs3 is nice, but if you like do skill rotation, have cloaking, have more option for stat/gear build skill spam is for you.

The SP consume concerns me a little bit, but as a relatively new player I don’t think I can throw away the utility that Scout and Rogue can offer. Thanks for the help, I think I’m going A2 > R1 > Sc1 > Ro1 > F1 > C2. I’ll try to stack werewolves on my journey to constantly crit. For stats I think I’m going 3:1 STR:DEX at first, and after I use a stat reset to change for full STR.
