KTOS Musketeer (A2-Sap3-Appraiser-Musk2) thoughts?

Hi everyone,

I’m only 166 atm (PvE only player) and I was planning to go A2-QS3-Falc1-Musk2 but the more I gain levels, the more I feel this build is outdated or lacks something at least. Time to reset !

I just checked the TOP 100 on the Korean website before writing here and the 1st Musketeer build is A2-Sap3-Appraiser-Musk2 (at rank 26).

I find it interesting since it has more AoE power, doesn’t need a Falcon character slot, less weapon swapping and I started the Appraiser quest yesterday (Pray for Silute players, I’m on Fedimian and waited alone for only 30 min for the Gytis flower …).

I never played Sapper so :
Is it viable for PvE on our ITOS version of the game ?
Which Sapper skills to max ?
Is it STR oriented as I suppose ? (2:1 STR-DEX, 3:1 maybe ?)
Musk is already costly but does Sapper makes it even more costly (mandatory boss cards x8, etc etc) ?

Finally, I also saw some A3-Wugu3-Musk2. Any thoughts as well ?

Thanks for reading :slight_smile:

appraiser overestimate is a waste for musketeer who use 2 hand rifle

I guess the Musk build simply goes 5/5 Identify 5/5 Devaluation 5/5 Blindside 0/5 Overestimate. Still not a bad R6 filler in my opinion since Musk’s basic R6 filler are Falc1 (which I don’t want anymore) and Scout 1 (PvP oriented, which I don’t play).

Overestimate would be for a Cannoneer version (and for more team support).

Anyway, tried Sapper3 yesterday and I’m not convinced. Collar Bomb fails so many times for no reason, The C3 trap’s cooldown is so high, Claymore seems useless, etc.

What happens in KTOS stays in KTOS. Even began to think it’s a PvP build actually :skull_crossbones:

Will try Wugushi. Poison Musketeer isn’t really RP imo but it’s another STR build anyway.

can you share your wugushi musk experience im actrually thinking about doing the same
but i feel like QS 3 is a better choice dont know tho pls share :wink:

Only tried A3-Wugu3 since I’m not rank 7 to get Musketeer. Full STR, barely 30 in Dex.

I think the high-level dmg is nice but some CD’s are too high to me, knowing that some Musk CD’s are high as well. I feel there are too many 20sec+ CD’s with only Archer skills as fillers. You won’t use some Wugushi skills on small packs while leveling/grinding because of those CD.

I’ve also read here or on Reddit - don’t remember - that some monsters in Earth Tower was poison resistant. As a PvE player, this and the fact that I wasn’t convinced by playing a Poison Gunner made me reset.

Remember that these impressions aren’t from a lvl 330 with end-game items. Try A1-QS3-Wugu2-Musk2 and see if it pleases you :slight_smile:

I finally came back to QS3 as well since I have a Grand Cross + Arde Dagger. We have another week of tests and I resumed leveling as A2-QS3-Appraiser but will take Cannoneer next if I have time to get to rank 7/8.

I guess we have no fine Musketeer builds without Falconer … and I’m not interested in Falconer :sob:

I only want to say… Falconer with a good weapon is the best, I have eme Musket with lvl 7 trans and my Peasant hit like 40k non crit damage in a Huge AOE, Hovering hits are like 25k-30k non crit, now I can farm the 170 dungeon with my musketer, use the reset event to try this, I’m very happy with my rainbow build+Musket C2 XD

I didn’t say Falconer sucks. I know Falconer is part of many popular buils, especially Falconer C3.

I just don’t like the idea of a gunner/sniper with a bird over the head. The same bird as the other players (let us choose color IMC ? :slight_smile: ).

It’s like Schwartzer Reiter. I like the idea of that mounted pew-pew gun class. But mounting my pinguin … errr … just no.

can you shoot your own hack accidentaly using musketeer’s birdfall?
