Queries about cannoneer

i have questions about my theorycraft build for cannoneer

So my build is somewhat like this.Appraiser for offhand buffs, Rogue for sneak hit + 8 lv10 werewolf cards, yada yada. Scout because yeah Camouflage. Archer3 for Kneeling Shot+swift step attributes

My queries are:

  1. Does Sneak Hit work with range weapons like cannons and crossbows?
  2. Rogue2 or Appraiser>Rogue? I’m somewhat solo player. Thinking about Rogue2 because of sneakhit no downtime.
  3. Should I go pure dex or high dex with so-so str?
  4. Aside from 315 2 practo xbow forgot the name, what should I aim for mainhand?
  5. Suggest something better synergy for r4 other than Scout

Thanks

yes

feint+barrage combo?

Yes

Both have their own stuff to look at. Backstab is OP (no joke here). You havent told the purpose of build. So looking at the scout i would say PvP. cloak+backstab is also good and appraiser devaluation is also good. Backstab can hit sages with missile hole up. This is gonna be your decision here. Overestimate with low anvil lvl ain’t worth much but devaluation and blindside are good on it own.

Again, depends on purpose. For PvP, need some con (i would say 90ish to be on safe side but can put less if you have good armour). Since you already said werewolf cards then go high dex for crit atk. and either get accuracy gems on gloves or put some str (50ish).
But for PvE, Full dex will do unless the mobs have hidden buff of evasion.

Please. You are offhand based archer. Focus on getting and investing in good cannon 1st, then armours then think about mainhand. Even HG320 xbows will do good.

hmm… scout is more or less necessary for PvP archer. For r4, wugushi c1, ranger c1 or even quarrelshooter c1( don’t underestimate qs1) will do.

P.S. Sorry can’t help on skill set.

Yah i’ll automatically aim for regard cannon that’s why i skipped asking for offhand.
For armors i’ll go for leather 315 purple forgot the name. but then what gems should i put on my armors? thinking about HP gems or maybe SP gems because it seems cannoneer skills consumes a lot of SP, even those attrib buffs like kneeling shot and swift step.

Can I use backstab using cannon?

Is there any Sneak Hit gem out there? Can’t find in google.

Aside from enjoying the class(I like ammo based characters, I hate bow users) there’s no concrete purpose with this theocraft build, because PVP = revenge sevenfold. Maybe at least optimal in ET 25th or 30th floor, duel with my friends, and maybe visit pvp league if im confident enough.

I think you misunderstood. You must get offhand 1st. Main hand is secondary.
So get Emengard cannon and focus on investing in this 1st. Regardhorn xbow comes later.

You can’t use backstab with cannon but it autoswaps. So, in weapon swap slots, 1 is xbow+cannon and 2nd is xbow+dagger.

Sneak hit has gem https://tos.neet.tv/items/643689

I wont really suggest getting +sp gems. Gain is too small.

On side note, “that’s a ridiculous amount of investment you are doing on char having no purpose”.

having fun playing a class is a reason enough to invest something :smiley:

Sorry I messed up with the names, I mean I’ll invest Emengard Cannon first, armors then lastly xbow.

So what can you suggest for armor gems?

Since already planning to gear it up, i’ll take assumption that you wont have issues with pdef and mdef.
Get 2 slotted HG320 purple armour pieces and get lv6++ red gems on top and pants.

Generally glove and boot slots are used for skill gem slots if you have any. Else put block pen/accuracy/crit atk (yeah sounds odd but still on an assumption you geared it up) on gloves.
For boots, Evasion is the way to go.
