Class and Rank Archer
#1

Hello everyone!
I’m quite new to the game, know some basics, but have no real experience (guides, videos, etc)

Trying to make a pvp archer build, so here are some questions:

  1. So, i start as an archer, ending with musket2. scout somewhere between.
    What should work best with it?
    from what i’ve heard, and what i’ve read:
    -hunter2 - is a good choise for pvp? i’ve read this somewhere on this forum
    -what else? is it worth taking QS? how do i switch weapons between QS and Musket? Or just take archer2-3? can i use archer skills with musket?
    -so, how does my build best look like? ur options and "why"s please
    archer(?)-?->scout->?->musket2

  2. i’ve heard that some skills have bonuses that are unlisted in description, like full draw instant cast on level 6(or correct me here)
    also i shouldn’t lvl up oblique to maximize pve dmg/mana
    any other skill tips?

  3. aaand mechanics. obviously i go stat build dex:con like 1:1 or 3:2
    but are there some mechanic features i MUST know to play archer?

  4. btw, was that cleric skill for block fixed? or it still gives like 99% block chance making physical damage useless?
    can archer be played in pvp, or should i just go mage since physical classes are useless (if it is not fixed)?

pre-THANKS big for your advices

i’d say that cannoneer c2 is better at pvp than musket c2
if you want a good pvp archer build i’d do quarrel shooter c3 archer c2 scout cannoneer c2.
If you still want a musket then i’d do the same just with musket c2, for stats i’d do 70-80 con rest dex.
( i recommend taking cannoneer and going dex because cannoneer has an attribute that grants you 60% block penetration which is awesome.)

#3

does it WAY more effective than going musket?
because i cant stand cannon - it is too ugly

also why go QS3?
i’ve heard hunter2 is op in pvp because Coursing and Retrieve cant be blocked, also Hounding is good utility skill

or scout’s Scan can do the same (and also bouncing arrow to farm), so i think it is strongly recommended to have hunter2 or scout3 in archer’s build

maybe it’s better to go

  • a3-scout3-musket2
    or
    -a3-hunter2-scout-musket2
    ?

actually i dont see any reasons to go QS since stun is only useful skill in there, but even it is not 100% chance

#4

well i DO have archer 3 scout 3 cannoneer, and it’s nice but scout 3 is more for farming and quarrel shooter is better at pvp because deploy pavise is a great blocking defense skill and scatter caltrops is good against swordsmen.
cannoneer imo IS better than musket because you get a skill that can destroy magic circles (siege burst) you get smoke grenade that blinds people and increases damage you get 60% block penetration PLUS cannon shot is much easier to aim than snipe, QS really is a good pvp class
you can go either hunter or QS that’s your choice.

#5

okay, maybe, but there are plenty of reasons why i dont want to use QS - pavise is useless for me since i wanna play more mobile and will never stay at the same position, stun is not 100% chance, and stone bullets btw heavy too, and more and more

so, for now, im thinking about 2 variants:

  1. a3-scout3-musket2
    no explanation needed. good farm good pvp

  2. a2-hunter2-scout-rogue-musket2
    and here i have 2 questions about rogue class
    -that Capture skill - how does it work? can i steal multiple circles? like heal and safety zone? can i steal objects like pavise or statues? do i have a time limit for using them, or they are like items that i can use any time i need?
    -and Sneak hit. does it works for ranged attacks (e.g. Snipe)? and does it’s crit chance additive or multiplicative (if i have about 20%, will it [70%] make 34% or 90%)?
    if rogue isn’t a good choice, i will think about a3 instead of it

#7

ok i’ve searched it.

steals any ground targeted skill, including timed aoe’s, cant steal statues, only one skill at a time, disappears and resets cd when changing location

works for all attacks and gives absolute value, meaning dex-con NOstr build with it probably will have 100% backcrit chance

so this works perfectly to me.
i gonna stick with (a2-hunter2-scout-rogue-musket2) build
lets try

hey all, u can try to speak about this or any another builds for pvp and i’ll read any of the following discussions here, interested in ur experience very much!~

#8

As far as i know… Hunter is good at pvp… Coursing is a lv10 cc, cant be ressisted but it so hard to land…

Why dont u try a2 hunter1 sc1 flet3???

It easier gameplay than musk…
Get beside enemy and bleed them to death…
But the downside is if u have PD or orac or pardon… They can ressist ur bleed…

But thats when hunter help… Hunter can bait the enemy so the buff will expire…when the buff expire keep on cc them while u bleed and magic arrow

Hows that sound?

#9

sounds good, but i dont know how much the bleed hits
does it deal raw damage, or % of hp, or scales with my attack and enemy defense? (ed.: found a video, lol its so op)
will it fall off when ranks 9 and 10 come out?

also - does Divine Machine Arrow stun with 100% chance, making 1v1 or hunting a target in arena just stun+bleed = win?

i dont think i will use coursing that much in this build (hunter is mostly for retrieve and hounding), since missile attacks have stacking up to 50% defense penetration, also fletcher has a bodkin
do they stack to 100% armor reduce? or it just better not to learn bodkin at all and just go barbed?

and the last question…
does it worth going flet3 while musket can just oneshot any non-protected target with one skill?
or maybe hackapell if this build is fine already at r7, just for fun and mobility

other words, there are 3 possible fletcher builds for me:

  1. a2-hunter-scout1-flet3-musket
  2. a2-hunter-scout1-flet3-hackapell
  3. a2-hunt2-scout-flet3
    which of them is best in your opinion?

(p.s. builds edited to be more actual)

#10

this one definitely.
Do NOT miss on rank 8 classes, they too strong for you to skip.

#11

okay, thanks!

p.s. probably gonna stick with a2-hunt-scout-flet3-hackapell

and 1 more question - does hunter skill Praise with the attribute for movement speed works on me while mounted or not?

#12

hunter skills don’t work mounted
i wouldn’t combine hakkapelle and hunter tbh

#13

okay… but so what then? ^-^
QS actually isn’t good to combine with hackapell too

maybe:
a2
hunter1 (for coursing)
scout
flet2 (since broadhead has its max potential at lvl9 and DMA is not needed with coursing)
musket2 (for burst damage)
?

if it isnt good, i just go a2-hunter2-scout-fletcher3
