Questions from a veteran returnee

Class and Rank Archer
#1

okay, returning player here. downloaded the game again yesterday and fired 'er up with no issues.

i read that SRs got a pretty stupid nerf in the form of Limacon actually using up SP for every hit. my SR3 is at Level 317 and actually ready for Rank 9, which i’m still deciding on what to take…

BM actually sounds good in theory but… i’m still not sure how to approach this, because i got basically smacked in the face with a shitload of new stuff yesterday when i logged in after god knows how long, even panicked a bit when i noticed that my gear was missing, which i promptly found in the market, waiting for retrieval (weird, i know).

my aim is PVE.

right now, the most attractive route for me is A2>R2>App1>SR3>BM

so, any suggestions for a build? or i might just go “■■■■ it” and go re-build for a Mergen.

I guess you mean SR3?
But that build seems pretty solid, meta build for SR3 I think. SR3 builds can do pretty much everything and BM gives you holy bullets which is powerful against a lot of enemies. FMJ is strong for PvP, if you don’t want it you could even go 5 points in BO. You have to dismount to use it but it’s a pretty powerful PvE skill.

I think most players pick SR3 for its farming and PvP abilities though, but it can do well as always with heavy funding. SR3 was one of the top bossing archers before the WB changes, not sure how it is now.

Falc3Mergen is easier to use for PvE since you bring support to the team and your aoe skills are less awkward.

hmm, been thinking of switching to Mergen for a good change of pace, actually. and i do tend to solo most maps so AoE is a bonus.

looking at a A2>Sapp3>Falc3>Mergen build as well.

#4

Falc 3 it is.

Pheasant is insanely OP.

Falconer 3 is one of those DPS classes that can bring a lot to the table.

I recommend either A2>QS3>Falc3>Mergen or Sapper instead of QS. I like QS more with falc though.

Some would recommend you to take rogue but it’s really nice to have swift step critical rate share specially when you have swordsman friends or physical clerics in your party. Rogue is more on self-greed or if you’re the only physical dealer.

hmmm… alright then. as for gear…

i got a +10 Manamana with me right now. does this still fit with the Mergen build or i should just sell it for a 2H bow?

#6

Hmm mana mana is hard to sell right now but I guess you could still use it for +1 MS swap and switch back to bow when you’re on combat.

Find yourself a primus bow and make it +11 ~ +16.

A +16 Primus bow and you’ll 1 hit a lot of monsters with pheasant.

#7

good point. might just keep this as a weapon swap dealie when needed.

for stats, STR and DEX still a thing? i got 191 on STR and 145 on DEX right now.

#8

Depends on the path you took, both are beneficial anyway.

But if you’re playing on low ping + QS, definitely full or high dex.

#9

alright, thanks a bunch.

#10

I am also a returning player. When I stopped playing, at the time, ranger> fletcher was a good build, but now after looking around I dont see those classes in any builds. Are they not good anymore? I really liked the abilities of ranger and fletcher. Qs and sapper do not appeal to me at all.
I play pve and im thiinking about going Mergen. Any suggestions?

#11

World Bossing - which used to be ruled by Fletchers - right now is more on consistent big damage burst (e.g. Dopel3 Shino), proccing Biteregina Card with multihits, and avoiding death as much as possible to maintain DPS. Some WBs like Zaura move around too much which makes ground-targetted DOT skills like Magic Arrow less effective.

If you want an all-around archer char, most Falcon3 builds might be up your alley, perhaps closing at R9 with Mergen. Unfortunately, the ones you don’t like (QS3 and Sapper2/3) seems to be the most optimal low-rank picks for Falcon3 at the moment. You could go with Ranger or Wugu variants or something else with Rogue1 for Sneak Hit but they won’t be as effective as the aforementioned based on my experience.
