Need a little build advice on QS vs Ranger and Musketeer vs Cannoneer

Class and Rank Archer
#1

I thought about doing A2 - QS3 - Falconer - Musketeer. I was hoping that Falconer would give the Musketeer some much needed AoE through circling. I didn’t want my build to completely lack AoE.

However I don’t have much experience with this game so I’m not sure if Falconer would make much of a difference or if Ranger would be better than Quarrel Shooter. From what I understand the Musketeer suffers from being burst oriented and not having much to do once everything is on CD, so I thought that Quarrel Shooter would do a better job at filling the gaps than Ranger.

If Ranger would be better would I take it to C3 or just C2 and pick up another class?

If Circling isn’t enough to really impact the Musketeer having no AoE answers then I’d probably just go Cannoneer instead.

Initially I was thinking of a Hunter focused build that went for being a pet class with A2-Hunter3-Falconer2, but I haven’t heard anything positive about pet classes and people seem to only mention Falconer for Circling so I’m doubting a pure pet build would have positive results. So I decided to just focus on an Archer that was more suited to PvE group play.

Circling just make your skills can hit more enemies in the AoE radius of your skill(not increase the radius of AoE), snipe aoe radius had been reduce to small circle it won’t hit much enemies(unless you have friend to pull the mob together).
IMO have falcon1 in machine musket build doesn’t solve all of your AoE problem, but can benefit your team in dungeon or grinding party at place where’s high density mob.

Ranger and QS have their different play style you might want to look in to both class before choose
ranger is more of skill spamming type, has good early AoE skill at early game, strong single target skill but long CD at C3 and has a atk buff skill(which isn’t that good in iToS)
QS dmg mostly from AA type from running shot and have pavis/catrop to lure enemies and protect yourself(also have stone shot for pvp)

ps. cannoneer too can’t hit everything in the AoE you can’t expect to choose 1 class rank in cannoneer and solve all of your AoE problem
