Class and Rank Archer
#1

Hello everyone, i’m mostly a cata player that’s rerolling an archer and i’ve only experimented some builds using skill simulator. I was wondering if the follow build would be viable:

A1 - R1- QS3 - Scout1 - Musketeer

I didn’t take a2-3 because i dislike kneeling shot and swift step crit is kinda meh for me…i think. Took ranger 1 because i want to make life easier while leveling. Scout for obvious reasons. QS 3 because i like the sound of stone shot and running shot.
Musketeer for burst.

For stat I’m thinking about going High Str + con and low dex.

Can any experienced archer gimme some pros and con about this build? Ty in advance. Much appreciated.

good single target dmg, lack AoE

high str synergist well with running shot,
critical shot lv1 in good too for spam skill in low dex build.
barrage help you early level, but won’t enough at higher level

hey thanks for the reply. Really appreciate you giving me some insights as to how the build works. how would you solve the aoe issue? will maxing obli shot be enough as substitute for the lack of aoe?

If making your life easier while leveling is your only reason I’d skip that Ranger1 entirely. You’re compromising your entire build because you want an easier time leveling. Early leveling is already easy enough with pardoner buffs. Just refresh blessing everytime you run out. And once you hit QS3 running shot will take you to 200+.

Your build is pretty close to the standard A1QS3Scout1Rogue1Musketeer that in fact I’d recommend that build for you instead. This especially holds true when you’re going low dex build that you’ll have Sneak Hit from Rogue1 to give you 70% flat critical chance when attacking from behind. You’ll also get access to Rogue’s capture which will allow you to capture your own Flare Shot from Scout1 so that you can place down 2 Flare Shot simultaneously. Flare shot will be your AoE.

oblique shot lv1 is most dmg/sp efficiency if you need dmg lvl the attribute.( still fall off as dmg too, but still useful for aggo mob)
from my experience Archer(except fletcher) usually use big skill with high cd and have some low cd or auto attack to fill in, so QS doesn’t really need those spam skills.
Personally I’d go cannoneer instead of musketeer for more AoE. maybe drop ranger too
what I think ar
Ar>QS3>scout>rogue/falcon>cannoneer
