I thought hunter for extra pet damage and cc and read hunter is decent in pvp ?
And I thought Sapper for trapping and laying down magic arrow on top of traps especially in et ? And thought that a sap / fletch would be good in et and in pvp
Could something like
arc c2 - sap c2 - fletch c2 - canon c1
Work as an aoe monster with decent single target ?
Or would that be like way over kill on the aoe ? Considering both canon and fletch low CDs
If that was the case could the
Arc c2 - hunter c2 - fletch c2 - canon c1
Work well then with the hunters pet helping on single targets while fletch and canon spam ?
now that I think about it… most of the skills from ranger now are flat multiplier (meaning just numbers, not % scale or stats scale). At this rate, if IMC ever release rank 8, 9, 10… all of ranger skills (except for steady aim) won’t be able to catch up
Therefore, … ranger will be a discriminated (not capable of future proof)…
Thus, this leads to an alternative build for future proof by removing fletcher…
*NOTE: The reason why I got ranger c3 is because I am currently at c3 ranger… and I’m thinking of a build with a hope to future proof 
Dunno, im stacking full STR, and so far im level 160 and my Ranger C3 still wipes entire screens and nukes stuff…
Skills keep scaling with STR.
My barrage says it should hit for 543 every hit…yet it hits for 2k +…
is that by any chance your patk stat is 1k+? 
Also i got arde dagger so add 153 fire dmg to that value.
Also here is a typical barrage DMG:
So yeah, that " Early classes fall off" theory, is just nothing but a myth.
Hi I’m not sure if this breaches any sort of forum etiquette but I really need some immediate insight since I’m class changing soon. In any case I apologize for the plug.
I still can’t decide between F3 and Cannoneer in spite of all the discussions I’ve read. See queries here: Fletcher 3 vs. Cannoneer
Thanks for any useful responses. 
I had the same doubts about it before getting the skill. with a ten second cooldown and no information on the bleed damage, it wasn’t a very attractive skill.
Then I put a point in it and gave it a shot. Boy was I wrong; this skill melts faces. The bleed damage is intense; every tick is roughly equal to the initial shot (and the first bleed hit is instant, so the immediate damage is like a double shot). Broadhead hurts like crazy, I would definitely recommend it. Especially since with a 10 second cooldown, you can sink points into it and not murder your SP consumption. at lvl 10, the bleed lasts 10 seconds, the same as the cooldown, so you can constantly reapply it.
Broadhead bleed DMG is brutal.
I tick those trees at the 2nd demon prison for up to 2.3k + every 0.5 sec, it gets them from 100% to 10% by itself, other mobs it just 1 shots.
Even at 5/5 it has 75% uptime, which is amazing, gives you fantastic consistent dmg output.
Its an insane bleed if you invest into Rogue/STR build.
Yeah, broadhead is pretty insane in pvp if your opponent got no cure status ailments LOL.
Btw, I think Arde dagger only affects your normal attack, doesn’t it?
I have another suggetion for you: Musketeer!
Confirmed: my arde dagger has effect on the bleed dot of the broadhead.
I tested it several times, equipping and disequipping it.
niceeeeeee sady I just sold my arde =.=
This is my exact build bro. What level are you now? Let me help you with the path you choose my fellow hunter.
Archer 1-2
Full draw - You must consider a level 7 full draw for the insta cast skewer. good on pvp. But outside of pvp its mehh.
Hunter 1-2
Praise - Get the praise. Pet loved to be praise. 5/5 for maximum duration cycle. Help your pet a lot.
Coursing - I dont always use coursing but i put 10/10 hoping someday they goin to fix the glitch on this skill. The glitch are if you use this skill and the your pet decide to attack the near death mobs and before it activates, the mobs die. Your pet decide to sit until you relog. I use this on pvp and its funny how the enemy cant move.
Retrieve - Less glitchy skill compare to coursing. I used this often for security to not glitch the pet. High damage and lower the def of target. Good pvp and pve.
Snatching - other players saying you need this skill well your not. Just switch to bow if you see a flying mob and one shot them all. Waste of kill points.
Pointing - do you think -33 eva/accu worth? Think again. Pve/pvp/boss not worth to spend points. The fear is not worth it too.
Fletcher 1-3
Broadhead - goodskill but I assume that you get this class to cover up your weakness on PVE/grinding mobs. on pvp yes its a good skill but on mobs, i dont think so.
Bodkin Point - You know that using crossbow ignored the enemy def by 25% right? and coursing and retrieve lower defense to. 1 level on this or 5 is enough for nulified barrier.
Barbed Arrow - why you not put a points here? You want to rekt a wizard? Cos this skill rekt wizard. Mostly wizard used cloth to amplify their magic damage. on level 15 you deal 6.7k damage on cloth type monster and player(def not calculated) with 0 CD.
Crossfire - cover up your weakness on AOE skills
Magic Arrow - 2nd AOE
Divine Machine Arrow - I dont any experience of this skill cos im still on rank 6. But I consider using this. I assume this is a 2 hit skill and still not indicate how much the explosion damage and AOE but the 10 sec shock is what i like about this skill.
One more thing. Dont bother put a single points on spirit. Even you have a high spirit, it doesnt make your SP pots regen more. You will be sitting on the fire or drink SP potion even you max your spirit no matter what. You need CON not SPR. Specially pvp/grinding. You cant kite mobs forever specially the pesky archer mob multi-arrowing you and make you down.
So, what do you think of your build so far ?
I’m curious since I’m thinking of doing something similar.
Well for now I might stick with that although making a build like this is kinda boring because it’s so common (I prefer unique, original, something uncommon LOL).
But the hunter>fletcher build above is really nice. Also, it has its uniqueness.
I’m at hunter c2 fletcher c1 atm going c3. My build now for hunter
Praise - 0 I tried level 5 before reset as it doesn’t worth it
Coursing - 1. Have 2 points available for future if I need more than 7 sec holding in pve
Snatching - 10 Rekt any flying boss. Also worth it for leveling as it have aoe of 5 I think
Pointing - 1 I put 1 to test the AI, not worth the skillpoint
Rush Dog - 10 Kinda help with many mob but Fletcher skill will outshine this. Have 40% chance to stun enemy but the damage is not much even at lvl 10. Could lower or not taking this to get higher Coursing level(if they fixed this)
C2
Retrieve - 5 Pretty decent when fighting high hp mob. Doesn’t have bug like Coursing but sometime the skill end before prematurely.
Hounding - 1 You need this to fix the AI bug and pet seems to be easier to manage
Furthermore, it is advised to get pet at our range level so they don’t die easy. i need to level pet with alt char to make this happened.
Thank you, this looks pretty cool.
Just have two more question:
Snatching causes monster to be affected with bleeding, so does Broadhead. Is it possible to have those two bleeds working at the same time ?
If you use Kneeling Shot, can you use all Hunter’s skills ?
Yes and snatching bleed can crit.
You can’t use any skilI and I have no use for it as I want to spam Fletcher skill. I reset it for level 7 full draw.
Thank you for your answers.
