One stone two birds, QS3 + Fletcher3?

[jaydenshih]

Just wondering whether is it viable to put the best kiritos in one basket now.

As I feel that MA is actually doing all the work right now, and that 10-20% of steady aim with only 10sec uptime ( effectively only 9sec after casting animation), I don’t find it super useful.

What this build trades off is the archer 2, which we won’t be getting any 1.25x of additional crit rates.

Other than that, yup, you can have the amazing auto-attack plus the freedom to spam Magic fire.

It’s pretty cost effective, when you only have to invest Fletcher’s attribute.

What do you think?

This is a growing popular build vs Rexipher because you can AA while he has reflect shield.

Main problem is that I heard rumors of running shot getting nerfed by not allowing the additional damage to crit.

I have a level 200 qs3 fletcher2 (soon to be fletcher3). Tbh, it was only an experimental build but Im having a lot of fun with it. Can’t say for sure how well it’s world bossing capabilities are vs. other fletcher builds (i’ve only done dullahan). But in theory it sounds versatile to me because you have running shot as filler damage for ghost+plate bosses where barbed arrow spam doesn’t do as much damage.

Also this build requires really low ping because the delay after magic arrow is huge and you need as many AA’s as possible in between skill spamming to make running shot useful at all.

Cool! I am in the middle of QS and gonna test it out too haha! I alrdy had a a2 r1 scout1 fletcher2. I mean it was okay, i just feel that i wasted ranger for that 10sec buff 10% increment, which probably only buff 1MA and 3 barrage for every 25sec. Then scout is for future pvp purpose haha. But yeah i felt that i could have made my fletcher life much easier by replacing them. I mean its true that gotta suit your play style. Cus afterall, whoever has the higher attribute will win the damage output. And i think RS would scale pretty good considering that QS can use its weapon till 200+, perhaps in the future there might be another xbow with much higher attack with additional QS skills.

Guess its preparing future build!!

A2 > R > Sc > F2 here

this qs build, like the A2 > Sap 2, will definitely be more fun than the cookie-cutter meta we have now. and leveling will definitely be easier with more mobility.

tho here are some concerns with his build:

• you’re dropping A2 for Running shot basically. will there be loss of dps? Or does going pure STR compensate for it?
• in killing bosses, skill rotation mostly revolves around broadhead and magic arrow with xfire/barbed in between. but squishy as we are, we can’t throw in barbed and xfire as much as we want to since we’ll just be one-shotted by boss’s AoE. so in between broadhead and magic arrow spamming (apparently, there’s an annoying after-cast delay with magic arrow where you can’t move for a good 1-2 secs. probably lag. or bug), there’s only a few seconds before magic arrow and broadhead is up again. not quite sure but the first one is of the more important concern though.

PS would love to see some gameplay vids. we need more of those since we are at early stages of the game

Hey! I think there are lots of comparison on the str and dex. But there are players with full str (and with swift step buff) and they are able to achieve decent around 70-85% of crit rates, but of course with the help of high end items/gears and gems. But it is achievable.

So i believe Mamark(?) mentioned that players, the econ build would be 1:1 or 2:1 on str to dex. But of course for experience and deep pocket players, they can go full str.

I guess the lost of dps wouldnt be detrimental, as you would gradually grind your way up and get decent crit items later on. (For new players, it is always advised to get your attributes invested first before saving up for high-end gear)

I would put more str than dex (as i am not as deep pocket) and some con for me as well.

I think when bossing, fletcher’s skill would keep you occupied for the whole time, RS is mainly for the field farming experience when the previous ranks dont have anything better to invest.

I personally have love N hate relationship with multi-shots, as usually it would be melee distance, and alot of time i was interrupted because of knocked back. It is a powerful skill but you probably need to group them close and gotta worry would they knock you down when you are charging. So with that, or you can say that im not skillful, but i decided to give up on multi-shots. Personal preference i think. Want to keep things more mobile.

[jaydenshih]

But hey man, can i check whats your stats allocation for this…? Would ungo full str then try to use EQ to buff the crit or str/dex? Since MA would benefit more from crit while RS is from str…? I currently quite enjoy playing this. Haha xD not yet fletcher though. Not sure how its gonna be.

[Hakaze]

It depends on how good your gear is. I use 2x sissel, max peta, mana-mana atm. Working on leveling up my gems. I have 90 points into DEX, 30 to CON and the rest STR. If you can’t afford these high crit rate gear, then put more point into dex. Try to aim for at least 400 crit rate

If you still interested here is some sample gameplay of my qs3 fletcher

I know it’s not the best (i get hit a lot), but it should give you an idea of what gameplay is like

[jaydenshih]

Awesome! I’m on this path too haha! I really have an easy time on PVE, unlike my archer n ranger (it is great early game, but later on, I tend to just use MA to clear the mobs )

So far so good for me, probably just need to think of a way (or a fix) to decrease the casting animation. I guess the 1sex stuck is unavoidable.

sskill distribution must get atleast 10 broadhead arrow and bodkin arrow to maximize QS3 Running Shot. Dont bother getting Barbed Arrow - useless if your QS3 Fletcher3 thats what my build but feel free to share you skill distribution

[freakey_me]

can you help me with the skill build here… im really interested with this
