The class seems very interesting with the variety of things it can do with the different arrows but I have hardly seen it used in any combination other than a Ranger.
On the one hand, I am actually very interested in taking up Quarrel Shooter, but is it worth building together with the Fletcher? I have read that QS have insane attack speeds and excel really well with Single Target AA. Would it be counterproductive of me to build it with Fletcher on later ranks?
Thanks for the advice.
– After a short period of thought I have decided to abandon the idea. Fletcher is too much a skill based Archer Type, so it’s best suited for a different base like a Ranger. But any suggestions to build a QS (C3) is still very welcome.
I’m still up for doing QS (C3) and have a few questions regarding this class:
-
Is it absolutely necessary to take up Archer 2 for the Swift Step attribute? I know it works pretty well with running shot, getting a boost for both auto attack and critical rate. I understand that benefits since you can invest higher in STR rather than spending points in DEX to get the Critical Rate benefit.
-
Is Stone Shot a must for the class? I find that Deploy Pavise and Caltrops to have better utility and more fun in terms of mechanics. (Or I’m just feeling lazy about the skill Stone Picking?)
-
If Archer C2 is not absolutely necessary, what is your opinion for this build sequence Archer > Quarrel Shooter (3) > Rogue > Schwarzer Reiter (2)? Or would a Rogue (3) work well with a Quarrel Shooter (3)

as you said QS is great for AA and with Fletcher’s skills you will have some nice AOE Skills as well as Physical Defense reduction debuff for single target. If that’s what you are looking for then it is your build.
