New Player need some Advice for an Archer Pure PVE Build for players with Ping Issues

So I decided to make 2 chars. 1 Swordsman and 1 Pure PVE Archer

I know there are a lot of good builds already, but I am looking for a
build that will not suffer from Ping that much. Ofc Ping (Since I am
from SEA Phil) will obv lower my performance but I want a build that
wont get hurt too much by it

Can someone link me some builds and what would the ideal stats and skills for them be

Pure DEX, low AOE, high single target, the rest evasive/defence.

What circles should I be taking to achieve this?

I’ve never played the game but I cant imagine it’s that complicated. Play with the skills you like, there’s no right or wrong. If you are having dramas with a ranged character you really need to get rid of that 1990’s computer and upgrade. A melee character 2h all out single target damage, sword and board simply try not to fall asleep, again I have not played the game but this has been tried and proven in just about every other game out there.

At no point during that ramble did you make sense…

Let me break it down for you, 2h melee focusing single target skills and self buffs group with a healer and other AOE spec player, for solo just go pure dex for the dodge and crits, late game max str with crit gear unless you spend some cash u wont get a stat reset. Ranged class pure dex easy and boring, 1h weapon and shield taunt and max hp so you are actually useful in a party. sigh look I don’t know why i bother just group with a healer and do what u want, this game looks very easy. oh i nearly forgot try not to stand in flashing circles because you will die (Amazing tip) Nice profile pic or do you need help with how to change that along with your attitude? there are plenty of guides out there simply google it but why would you want to copy someone else? the joy of this game is self made and discovery or do you want training wheels for the rest of your life? PVE group with healer and pick whatever skill looks cool and stay away from pvp too complicated for you which will lead to QQ so don’t set yourself up for a bad fail experience until you’re confident you want to succeed and not ask silly questions or only have smart arse emo responses that are not constructive nor encourage anyone to want to help you. Good luck with your lives. Why not have all the dam skills and not max out anything? there problem solved. Don’t forget to buy a wizzy cap to raise your characters intelligence.

Archer

Here, your main damage will be Multi-Shot, then spam Oblique Shot when MS is on CD. Full Draw has a “Pierce” property, so use on skill rotation.
Swift step is optional, since it’s only good on Archer C2 (+25% critical rate attribute), if you want, you can dump 5 points on the 3 damaging skills and don’t have Swift Step at all.

Falls off at Ranger C3

Ranger

Main damage skill here is Barrage (before C3) and Bounce Shot for multi-target, Critical Shot and Spiral Arrow for single target. High Anchoring is for “sniping” enemies on a straight line. I don’t know how Steady Aim will work on iTOS, but you must activate it before using damage skills.

Falls of at Rank 7, but still useful

Fletcher

Here, use Crossfire and Magic Arrow for multi-target and Bodkin Point and Barbed Arrow for single target. Don’t pick the burn attribute for Crossfire, because you will gain CD on a 0s CD skill.

Cannoneer

You will love Cannon Blast and Siege burst :slight_smile:

For a good PvE stat, I would recommend:
2 STR, 1 CON, 1 SPR, 3 DEX

STR -> more physical damage and critical damage, plus you gain a 10% STR each rank up

CON -> more HP, you will need on higher levels

SPR -> more SP and block penetration, some mobs have an annoying block rate, so it will come in hand

DEX -> Self explanatory, more critical rate, accuracy (though you won’t need on PvE) and evasion

ok cool ty. Ive been researching builds and Ive Seen the Archer->Ranger 3-> Fletcher 2 alot but it usually ends with Musket. What are the pros and cons of Cannoneer over Musket?

Cannoneer is better for PvE, have a high AoE Ratio and damage, Musketeer is better for PvP, siingle target burst.

Take a look on Cannoneer’s Cannon Blast, it’s AoE is insane and have a high damage.

Musketeer is better on PvP because of Snipe (which can one shot a player, yes, I’ve seen a 25k Snipe on Team Battle League)

Very great build but i can’t compare it with wiz3>ele3>wl but seems it doing not less AoE damage
Also build not so much depends of CDs and has not too many buttons to press and fill CDs thats great plus :smiley:

i guess it can handle bosses solo easy

Steady Aim is nerfed its 20% and 10sec now

Btw some of Fletcher skills has no CD can i spam it or there is Global CD that don’t allow me increase my DPS by low ping?

Anyway Great thanks for sharing this build looks like i’m really found what i’m looking for so long

It’s not that they have a “global CD”, they can be used at the same rate of Attack Speed, so a higher ping have a lower ASPD, but nothing to worry about on PvE, PvP is fine too.

But what if we take the second rank QS instead Ranger? To obtain Deploy Pavise and Scatter Caltrops.

QS is a better class for PvP, has some CC and is better focused on basic attacks, meaning it’s a single target class.

For PvE, AoE damage is better (grind become easier), single target is better for bosses and PvP.

Matt I’m new too for the archer class!
I will try to focus on PvP and will do the Schwarzer Reiter because of the mobility…
However I dunno what will be the best circles for that…
Anyone here knows about it?

Neither does your thin novel response or Matt’s question. Lag is lag it hurts everything.Pure Dex for lvling, it’s the best offence/defence combo stat. Pain barrier is probably the best skill for melee late game and don’t push your luck with deeds of valor or you will tea-bag yourself, amazing skill for a tank though. everything else is just fluff. as I said before rangers are boring.
