Ranger C3, oblique or critical shot?

Class and Rank
#1

Hello there,
I’ve decided to make an Archer, Ranger C3, Rogue C2. Got few builds in my mind*, the point is… what should I focus as a spamable skill? Is 5lv oblique shot with hlvl attributes still valuable at higher ranks, or should I go for critical shot only? Had idea to use them both - oblique for trash packs of monsters, critical as main DMG skill on bosses along with barrage, spirit arrow and backstab. Will it work?

Also heard that anchoring get nerfed and it doesn’t worth to invest into that.
Anyway! That’s the build I’m thinking about:


Probably gonna do 40SPR, rest DEX. SPR for SP sustain, dex for obvious reasons.

I think you can leave oblique at level 1 to save SP. The extra ~100 damage isn’t really that noticeable later on. Critical shot is super high upkeep if you want to max it out for the single target dps, which isn’t worth it imo. Your SPR won’t be able to sustain spamming critical shot at its max rank, unless you chug high level SP pots. Using critical shot in moderation, however, is most effective.

I think about using oblique and get steady aim (I know it’s worthless later on, but need some dmg boost at low lvls)
instead of crit shot. In other hand I could keep crit shot at low lv…

Well, according to your post I made some changes in build:


Gonna get barrage attributes at first, then oblique shot and as last crit shot to use it on single targets.

Neither of them. Obilique shot lv 5 still good but Ranger c3 has Bounce shot, Oblique Shot i think only for lure mobs at late level, so don’t need to invest OS high attributes if you are not archer c3.
High Anchoring still good, it can 1 shot air type monsters.

I’m using OS lv 5, found myself it’s better than crit shot and cost 18sp (same as CS lv1).
Using it all the time with barrage and anchoring on cd.


I’m alright with SP, got full SPR so far. Can’t decide whether invest to str or dex on later lvls.

Btw. Does ranger’s skills dmg scale to dex? Didn’t notice any difference in dmg with full dex and full spr build.

OS is going to be your main single/double target DPS source till the end of the game. Making it lvl 5 is obligatory as its SP cost (18) seems to be completely irrelevant later on due to natural increase of SP on each lvlup.

on the other hand it doesnt mean you have to max it out right away. Keeping OS at lvl 1 for the first… let say 100 levels and then leveling it up to 5 using spared points seems reasonable and it ensures you to have some SP to spam on the early lvls.

What @Hellwette said, use level 1 until 100 then use level 5. Critical Shot will absolutely demolish your SP, seems good in theory but when you test it out you’ll see you can only get off like 6 or so shots before you’re out of mana early game.
