Disappointing really, although, Rogue real dmg comes out of sneak hit, not backstab.
I kinda based my build around A1 R3 F1 R2.
Sad to see massive bleeding underperforming like that.
Dream what build u going for btw?
Sneak Hit is indeed really nice since it infinitely scales. There will be a point where pure DEX wonāt provide even 90% crit rate at higher levels due to the crit rate formula.
Still, the class should work as a whole with itās skillset. I think we should create a proper thread for Rogueās stealth nerfs and how it massively affect itās performance.
My build is Archer > Quarrel Shooter C3 > Rogue C3. Pretty straightforward. Since pure STR builds have bad evasion rate, I need Burrow so I can attack while being ignored.
Yeah seems legit, my original plan was QS3, but my ping cant afford it.
I went for Ranger 3 instead.
I did pick F1 to mix in for vendetta and massive bleeding.
And honestly im very pleased with the numbers, broadhead bleeding ticks for 2k+ in 0.5 sec intervals on level 159, with 75% uptime.
Crossfire hits hard and now going for barbed.
Regarding karacha, im almost sure that once content above 280 unlocks, there will be recipies that upgrades karacha while retaining the bonus.
if IMC ninja nerfed backstab, then this class from C2 onward would be one terrible mistakeā¦
not to mention the Karacha set that does not easy to comeby
yeah, C3 is questionable, since sneak hit 10/10 or even 7/10 is enough to be 100% uptime.
Only vendetta remains a good option.
srsly, the X3 karacha nerf is enough, why did they stealth nerf backstab even more i dont understand.
The reason why I didnāt go for Archer C2/3 for Kneeling + Running is because thereās an atk spd cap. My friend is planning to go Chrono C2, I always play with him so Iāll almost reach atk spd cap w/o Kneeling. Sneak Hit also requires you to be mobile thus it has the perfect synergy with Running Shot, thatās what I thought which ended up with this straightforward build. This is getting long, these stuffs are supposed to be on my incoming QS C3 + Rogue C3 guide in the future lol
Anyways, about the attack speed problems with high ping. Itās the packet losses. The thing is, I play at 260-300ms w/o gaming VPN (WTFast). With WTFast, I donāt have packet losses anymore and Iām stable at 250ms. Amazingly, this also maximized(maybe almost?) my attack speed when using Running Shot. Iāll try recording a video how fast I attack even at 250ms ping. Itās really all thanks to WTFast.
Did you know about Feint + Barrage combo? Apparently, it makes Barrage do 2 hits per arrow, thatās a total of 10 hits. Not sure if this is legit or a bug. Itās quite popular now on KR.
I do think Rogue has good synergy with DoT classes since DoT classes barely relies on DEX or crit rate thus mostly going high STR builds. STR build is suggested on rogues, so itās a good synergy.
Derp. Wall of text.
C3 is just about Burrow. If you donāt see Burrow necessary, then I also advice not to go C3 as well.
im not sure abt feint + barrage so i decided to go for AR3 > SC1 > Ro2
Lvling an archer with almost no AoE dmg was a painful exp, but i made it through without grinding much.
I was hoping for good single target dmg from backstab and it failed me so hard that i decided to make a new char and go to other classes. 
1 last question to you about massive bleeding.
When attacking 2 timees with backstab, does the dot stacks or refresh itself?
Refreshes.
