After going archer 3, you choose a different class. I consider it a “free class” because you can choose a new class before fletcher.

A statement w/o playing or searching info in this forum. 
Flare Shot sucks hard, it is not a “good aoe atk”, even with the attribute leveled.
[/quote]Flare shot does suck but it has its uses in PVP. I won’t go into detail here but its a lot better than flu flu which misses completely
Oh, so you just meant “get whatever you like”, lol.
Now I am curious, what are the uses for Flare Shot? ^^’
Revised build because schwarzer ritter requires mount
and if i so happen to want to go SR: http://www.tosbase.com/tools/skill-simulator/build/bep7aw76mk/
At least spend 1 point on [Oblique Shot] - This will be your replacement for your Auto Attacks -, and 1 point on [Feint] because [Feint] has an attribute that when maxed, it has a 75% chance to automatically cast [Backstab] after you forced the enemy to turn, which makes your automatic [Backstab] even more powerful! (That 4x hit when score a critical from behind enemy when using [Backstab]!)
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Looks 99% like mine i drew up too 
if you plan to take fletcher you will have to use the switch weapon system, all of the fletchers skills can only be used with 2h bows. 
how does the weapon switch system work?
Dunno really, I haven’t played TOS before, so i have no clue how it works. You should try it out during this CBT
You sure it does backstab automatically at 5 in the attribute? It seems to say only that the creature in question turns around.
Unless you mean it’s a good set up because it allows you to do a backstab in the back for additional damage. If you don’t then feint is pretty damn powerful indeed. But then again, how would you backstab on rank 1 rogue with only feint and that attribute at 5, you don’t even have the skill yet lol.
Without the attribute, feint already reduce your enemy’s evasion and forces them to turn around, exposing their rear to you.
The Feint attribute actual translation is just like what I said in my earlier post - Take note it only proc 75% of the time.
As for how Feint could do Backstab in Rogue C1 without the actual Backstab skill, honestly no one confirm it yet - But I suspect the attribute for Feint only opens in Rogue C2 and after you spend at least 1 point in Backstab (Such similar case can be found in Peltasta, where the 250% damage bonus from Highguard attributes are, in fact, only available once you take Umbo Blow to lvl 6, and get the Highguard specialization damage from it, the same principle also applies to Rim Blow)
You make me want to make a rogue all over again. And btw, 75% chance to do it is goddamn high mate if you consider the damage it’s doing.
But then, feint can be used on more targets then one. Does it mean feint backstabs all the targets if it triggers? That would be OP as fuk.
Seriously, you fired me up for a rogue again you bastard when I was already set on my archerwugushischwarzerreiter xD
As far as I know, Backstab only have 1 AoE ratio - means you can only hit 1 enemy(or 2? I’m not entirely sure the mechanics behind Gear AoE and Skill AoE) with it.
Doesn’t mean you can’t build an AoE Backstab rogue, though, as there are equipments and accesories to increase your AoE ratio, altough they’re rare for Archer, but that renders your build to be gear dependant.
Edit: Archer -> Wugushi -> Schwarz Reiter is also a solid build, tbh. Archer and Wugushi supplies mostly Single Target Skills, while Schwarz Reiter mainly supplies AoE skills
Yeah it does have 1 aoe ratio, but if feint works as you said - and it can on lvl 10 affect up to 12 targets - wouldn’t that backstap all of them, or at least some of them since the chance is 75%?
There’s gladiator’s band, galatunis crossbow and strange charm from what I saw. That would be +7 aoe, but then again I’m not convinced it actually would increase backstab’s aoe from 1. Didn’t the stat work only on your auto attacks or on skills aswell?
Edit: did you see it in a video that feint autoactivates a backstab? And if it does, does it trigger the cooldown at the same time?
Ah, I think I should remove that statement, but as you said, there are a bunch of equipments and accesories that increase AoE ratio - I mean, you can only hit 1, (2 if they’re really close with each other, and 3 if they’re skewed with Fulldraw) enemy with your Auto Attacks. What’s the point for those AoE ratio Equipments and Accesories to exist for Archer then?
It’s a question left unanswered until now, but I’m sure people will look onto it soon enough and give their feedback on itg given the ever-nearing iCBT 2
No but what I mean, are you sure that feint has 75% chance to activate backstep or is it actually 75% chance to turn them around?
There’s the skill demo video that turns the enemy to the side. I recall there’s also some other videos, but I can’t find them right now. However I’m pretty sure it’s 75% to activate Backstab
~ Still in workplace, online in mobile, going home in about 4 hours, so that’s when I’m going to search for it.
Alright. I saw the tutorial video that turns the mob side ways and I imagine that’s the one you ment. I’m going to try and find a confirmation myself in the meantime but come back to me if you find something ^^

Yeah it does have 1 aoe ratio
[/quote]Backstab is a single target skill, it doesn’t have AoE ratio.
The only skills in Archer tree that have AoE ratio (that I can remember now) are High Anchoring and Claymore.
I ment to say I know it’s single target.
Any idea if feint works as he things it does?
haha, okay will do
