Ok. I was thinking I would lose too much without appraiser’s buffs and debuffs, but I think I’ll go Scout. My build actually has very little in the way of free, direct attacking moves since I’ve chosen to max both Punji Stake and Claymore, while still maxing broom trap. This means I have no room for detonate traps or Stockades.
It’s also not a crit focus build with zero dex so I can invest into SPR, so I probably don’t benefit too heavily from appraiser in that regard either. This is purely just a PVE mob grinding aoe spamming physical caster.
Another nice perk of scout is the ability to direct all aggro to Pavise even if the mobs are agressive, thanks to invisiblity.
Now here’s the question about the Shootdown combo. Can I ignore cannon shot entirely and just level up Shootdown, allowing Broom Trap to kill mobs who’ve been grounded instead? It seems to take up a lot of points to max both of those skills and I’ve heard that Cannon shot spam is mana hungry and unnecessary.
