as a swordman i have to be salty about this…Just when they gave us hope they release OP archers for rank 8…
Better roll a fuking musketeer that deals unbuffed 2x60k IN RANGE with 20 secs CD…
Fuking IMC have a retard working on class balancing.
I think rogue get more synergy with Hackapel, since rogue and hackapel combine long and melle range attack
The cliche answer would be play whatever you like but if you really have to, SR2 is still a decent pick no matter what as long as you can look past some of it’s current shortcomings. You can also go Scout (PvP)/Falconer(PVE) to Musk/Cannon depending on your personal playstyle or heck, even Falcon C2, which while it looks fun, nobody ever takes. I have been playing since EA and have not seen a single Falconer2 ever.
Changed the description of SR3’s “Advancing Fire” and Mergen’s “Triple Arrows” after re-reading the Korean text.

I must say that for every Rank 8 class so far, the official translation either leaves out some of the Korean text or includes information not originally in the Korean version.
The part on Mergen having additional bonuses when using 2h bows for example was definitely not in the original Korean text. And was definitely not expecting “Hakkapalle” lol.

HaKKApAlle looks very strange to me. Archer which likes to become a swordie. Truly this is the new kappa class.
during 8 seconds cooldown i will just charge multishot 2x, more than enough for 8s CD.
It means they told us a fake info? lol
Falconer3
The moment the swordie stops attacking and turns around, the archer arrow standard attack is doing AoE damage…

NVM it should be oblique shot -_-
No it just means that they changed some of the information when translating it to English.
Its not oblique shot, look at the mana.
Like “new meta” is Archer 2 > QS 3 > Falconer 3?
Running Shot and this skill may be overpowered?
The new elememe will be the fletchermergen
Oh lord the horror, now all those elememe meta bandwagoners will come over and piss in the archer pool (and maybe swordman for pvp), haha 
I just hate that people which just ask "hey guys what is the best char to roll and its build to copy it?"
Happens a lot in the tcg enviroment “Want to buy the lastest champion deck”

Obviously this is all theorycrafting at this point, but I feel like following up a QS3 build with Hakkapalle might be the way to go. I have a QS3/Wu2/Musket, basically a boss killer/extreme focus on single target damage. Unless I’m missing something, Musket2 looks a little under whelming (I can see how some things would be great in PvP, especially 2 person snipe) for my purposes, which is basically to use it him as a WB killer and farm up items for my other characters.
The reason why I Think QS3 supplements hakka:
“Archer classes all have the ability to hit enemies with up to 5 arrows and decrease the defense of enemies by 10% per arrow. The ‘Skarphuggning’ skill, which is a melee slash attack, will be able to hit the enemy more according to how many arrows are stuck in the enemy so you will be able to deal a lot of damage by melee attacking enemies after attacking them with ranged weapons”
Basically, load up arrows into your target, their defense drops by 50%, compliment that with other skills that increases damage per arrow in target (would be a ton with running shot) and bam, go in for the kill.

Mergen will help to spread Wugong Gu poison easily.
Mergen and SR3 seems very op, but i’m kinda interested at hakkapalle though.
A question, does the arrow that stuck at the enemy is from AA only? or skills like barrage, multi shot, etc also make the arrow stuck?
My archer is a2-r1-wugu3-rogue (yes i know, it’s probably not a good choice because poison can’t crit) and i rarely use AA. If arrows from skills doesn’t stuck on boss, i’ll probably take mergen instead for more aoe.
I’d like to play Mergen.
What build should I go for?
Remind me the hunter class in Ragnarok online. Hope they do well as that one.
