I’m thinking what is better: A3 or R3 for dps
I’d like to build an falconer, what would you suggest? I dont have much idea of this game so far.
Greetings
If your just starting out I would try out archer>ranger>archer2 as barrage lvl 5 can easily carry you through most of the game and you get archer 2 Swift step and multishot10 witch works with circleing. After that it’s up to you.
A3>Wu2>F>Cannon for meta AoE build. A1>R1>A2>whatever, for easier leveling early on. R3 does not pair well with Falcon because they have no intreaction with each other.
better go sapper 2 instead of wugushi
Archer 3 with Multishot + Falcon Circling is good =)
Having 1 circle in Ranger makes lvling significantly easier, and Barrage is pretty good, or pretty damn good if you have Rogue with Feint and Sneak Hit. (Feint doubles the amount of hits you can do with Barrage and has a 75% chance to give you an opening to crit all of your shots with Sneak Hit with its skill attribute)
I’ll be honest tho at this point in time I wouldn’t worry too much about deciding ranks based on circleing unless it’s a r7. Anything under that is insignificant when compared to what your teammates will get out of circleing compared to you. That being said ranger 3 Is debatable because of its overall use not just with circleing.
Thanks for your answers 
How does this Circling with AOE Defense ration work?
So just aoe skills do more damage. But what skills are aoe? Skills without auto aim?
Can I also go A1-R1-A2-A3 ?
steady aim will be nerf in kToS. Just saying
Just like our current Steady Aim.
Yes
charaaaaaaaaaacters
I mean… we already have this nerf here.
Every monster has a different size and a aoe defense ratio attached to it.
So for example lets say there’s a monster with an aoe DEFENSE ratio of 2. And you have a skill that has an aoe ATTACK ratio of 4. You can hit 2 of thoes medium mobs with your skill.
Aoe attack ratio doesn’t increase damage but let’s you hit more monsters.
Aoe isn’t defined by anything besides that it hits multiple targets weather you aim or not. Depends on the skill. That’s why it’s important to read skill description or watch a video of how skills work.
Ranger3 is no longer as strong but Ranger1 is still a fantastic rank.
