Rank 8 Archer Preview (Translations)

Looks like we are getting Barrage for every rank 8 class.

My biggest question now is; do Mergen abilities require a 2H Bow, or can you xbow+whatever, b/c atm it looks like you can slap Mergen onto a lot of builds and be in pretty good shape unless theres a specific restriction for the skills.

This!!!

Added the source to the korean text and images.

Sonic strike is a fake multihit attack that has a 1.5x damage multiplier that doesnt hit too hard, has a 30% chance of blind and about a 10% chance of giving +10% phys damage taken and -75% defense debuff of enemies for 3 seconds. It sucks but if the auto cast rate is high enough, itll be a decent addition.

The circling c3 attribute and aiming seems like it would be great.

probably sr + mergen. but who would do that? SR is too OP i smell nerf even before the release.

title should be:

R3F3 builds can finally take Archer C2

So if mergen abilities can be used mounted I’m assuming the new meta for us will be Archer2/Ranger3SR2/Mergen1? Because the running shot and retreat shot combo was done away with wasn’t it. I’m not sure b/c I myself play an scout3 build but id be interested in rerolling an SR/Mergen hybrid from the looks of this new info.

SR and Mergen will dominate now. decent damage on ground enemies and gazillion damage on flying enemies. goodbye elememes. HAHAHA.

yah, i think fletcher 3s will take mergen now. GOD at bossing and GOD at mobbing too now. xD

wouldn’t that be a waste? SR gets ‘fixed’ at rank 3. based on how i understood it, you can finally use retreat shot while moving forward.

but based on the description, isn’t mergen a bit too limited in the maximum number of targets?

tho the last skill of mergen looks nice for single target dps when no other monsters are around. it really looks like the perfect r8 for fletcher. or i’m just gonna take hackapell so i can dash like the one of the kirito kids

It was no bug. Skills used inside Circling have a % chance to fail on enemies (circling AoE booster effect will not apply). You need to upgrade the Circling attribute to max to remove this chance of failing. Read the attribute carefully.

“Decreases the chance of nullifying the attack by 5% per attribute level when enemies are within the range of [Circling].” It means it decreases the chance of failing YOUR attack when used on enemies inside circling.

yup. this will increase the price of battle bracelets even further. but do look at it. i think its skills dont have cooldown. its like fletcher 2.0

most likely mergen is the class to go for fletchers. hackapell looks like a support class honestly base on the translations. its like highlander of archer. uses debuffs to support the team

so is the beast master DREAM dead? A2>H3>F3? hahaha

Ya your right, idk I’m tempted to stay with my archer2/ranger1/scout3/rogue1 build now and just add mergen. BUT I am also tempted to roll the cookie cutter fletcher, not the rng3, the a2/scout1/f3 version and add mergen, I just don’t wanna have to lv to 280 spamming crossfire as my aoe, jesus god the time it would take to craft those 85 billion arrows…

Unless Pre-emptive strike triggers on Skill use too. Hunter has a lot of multi-hits to trigger it.

Falconer C3 seems to be heavily pvp/ support focus that should be swordie’s best friend. I swear if mergen skill works like 0 CD oblique shot or split arrow, it would be amazeballs. SR 3 forward shooting skill looks godly af . It basically looks like skill based AoE running shot. Mobility + any direction + capable of hitting so many mobs per hit with that aoe range. All these new skills make the lower rank skills look like sht lol.
