HELP PLEASE! Archer build

new player here i like so much this build any suggs?

archer c3 QS c3 Falco 1 Mergen

It’s a good build, have good sustain damage and AoE. So I don’t really have anything do add, some people like to put Rogue/Scout/Ranger/Appraiser in the place of Archer 3, but I think that Archer 3 is the best in that slot.

maybe 120 dex Res all STR?

Depends a lot, if it’s your main and you will invest a lot on a weapon like Astra Bow Trans 7 or more you could simply go full Dex.

yes this going to be my main, full dex are u sure?

if you are casual player:
100 dex rest STR
+11 stage 5 aufgowle bow

if you are hardcore player
+16 stage 7 astra bow
then and only then go full dex
astra bow is one of the hardest weapon to make in the game. the material is rare and monster who provide it is not many
this is the reality of astra bow


you only need 1.7 million silver (if you never fail anviling it)and 1260 shard (1 char can only get max 2 free shard per day) to reach that power.

Because the weapon will give all the power that you will need if you invest in that, while Dex is harder to get in gear.

Disclaimer: I no longer play tree of dailies.
When building archer you should consider such things as:

  1. Source of AOE damage
  2. SP consumption
  3. Consistent skill rotation

First about your build. It will be viable but I won’t recommend it. Well my opinion is a bit biased since I personally don’t like mergen, but I played all those classes for some time.
Mergen skills will drain your SP consumption. To the point that if you have mergen in your build, you can’t use any other SP hungry class’ skills in your rotation - you simply won’t have enough SP for that (but still will consume SP pots by CD only to supply mergen skills).
Considering you have QS3 in your build, it’s not a big problem, running shot is a good filler and consumes almost 0 SP. You also have some decent utility skills, caltrops and pavise will save some hp for your allies in dungeon (especially in random party with no healers).
A3 is completely useless to you. Unless you really need to boost your multishot to lv15. Twin arrow is inferior to running shot, swift step doesn’t give you any advantage (only circle2 critrate attribute matters). If you go A1 no archer skills will be viable at all (multishot at l5 is weak and charges slowly w/o a2 attribute, swift step is useless w/o a2 attribute, other skills are inferior to qs skills). I don’t think multishot is deciding factor here (it combines good with falconer’s circling though, at multishot lv10+). Most likely you choose to pick a2 if you want critrate from swift step’s attribute.

You should account that QS3 dps depends on your attack speed. Autoattack speed is higher with x-bow than 2h-bow, also it depends on DEX (but since international servers run on potato it’s capped by server performance and connection, people say more than 150 DEX is negligible on EU for example). And mergen can’t use it’s skills with x-bows.

What I suggest.
Falconer got pretty nice buffs when rebalance patch dropped. It was considered support only prior, but suddenly started to add to your dps. It has pretty long CDs on it’s skills, but on C3 you get pre-emptive strike which will make your pet attack targets on it’s own with no SP consumption using it’s skills. You can also use skills manually to boost your damage. Sonic strike and pheasant are AOE skills. You also get aiming and circling, which are incredibly good support skills.
People also usually put scout1 for stealth or rogue circles for crits. I don’t think rogue1 is any good now since crits where nerfed, unless you have ranger in your build for sneak hit + barrage combo (which you don’t have). Putting a circle of scout instead of archer3 might be a good idea.
Personally i would go for falconer3 instead of archer3 and mergen. May also replace a2 with scout, but scout doesn’t combine with falconer3 wery well, because you need to attack to utilize falconer skills (which breaks cloacking), and aiming also attracts enemies to you for some reason. I didn’t test falconer3 with scout in same build, so I don’t know if aiming breaks cloacking, it may still be a good idea for support build. But it doesn’t look like you want full support build anyway.
Skill rotation will be like swiftstep-circling-sonic strike-multishot-calling-runningshot. You also recast pre-emptive strike and aiming when their duration runs out. Use caltrops and pavise against archer mobs if you encounter those. I suggest you use x-bow + shield if you choose this route. And don’t bother with rare 315 weapons, by the time you farm them there will likely be new 350 weapons. Falcon’s damage also scales from your weapon, so anything special here.

when was the last time you played it?
okay, now let me start correcting some of your statement.

all R8 skill use huge SP consumption, cant compare it with rank 1-2 skill SP consumption. Moreover, mergen is AOE class, use it when the enemies are many, dont spam it to kill 1-3 monsters. Play smarter.

cloaking was never meant to be use for offensive (except cloaking+snipe). scout flare shot+falconer aiming=AOE. aiming doesnt break cloaking.

aiming cant attract enemies. tested it with cloaking+aiming, enemies still behave normally, doesnt attracted to your hawk or to you.

recast aiming only when the purple circle effect of aiming dissapear.

at first i also want to suggest another better DPS build, but OP seems really like that build, let him enjoy it

i’m new player maybe i need a build to farm silver maybe a wizard?

wiz2link2thaum2ff2+ dungeon 170= 600k silver per run

Every Rank 7 or more of the Archer tree have high SP consumption, and SP potions do exist, and is something that will be used because of Glass Moles cards.

Kneeling Shot lvl 10 is VERY useful in a build with Quarrel Shooter 3, and because Running Shot don’t have full uptime Twin Arrows have it’se uses too, and let’s not forget that Swift Step of Archer 3 will be buffed to give more critical rate than the Archer 2 counterpart.

And why this matters? The X-Bow only skills from QS are situational at best anyway, Running Shot and Scaltrops are the important skills.

Please don’t recommend this skill rotation in a QS 3 - Falco 3 build, what you want to use in Expand Circling is Scaltrops and Pheasant, and only after that that you will think in using Multishot.

best build for farming silvers?

any build using stage 10 transcended lv 315 orange weapon is the best build for farming silver. Dont be lazy, go read some other thread, do some research before asking best build of anything.
