Given that we currently don’t know what the new rank8 classes are, I think we still have sufficient enough information to start planning for new builds with our current classes.
For example, I’m almost positive that when rank8 comes out, going A2 Ranger1 Scout1 Fletcher3 Rogue1 is going to trump every other build for single target damage.
What are you guys planning on rolling when rank8 comes out?
Based on current class, I am pretty much locked into SR3. Not that I am complaining though, I am genuinely excited to see what changes and hopefully, nice upgrades SR3 will bring.
My A2-Sap2-Scout-Rogue-Cannon could also use the final circle of Sapper, or Cannoneer2 depending on what it can bring to the table.
A2 ranger Wugu2 Fletcher3
My build is ar3>sap2>fal1>cannon so my choice most likely Cannon C2
what I curious is whether falconer C3 going to make falconer avaliable as a main class not just for circling.
those meta fletcher may go fletcher3>newR8 if R8 is strong dps or fletcher3>SR for WB hunting build.
SR doesn’t work with scout cloaking, and scout cloaking provides more move speed than SR mount.
Rogue1 with fletcher 3 let’s you capture 2-3 magic arrows and 1-2 flare shots, so you can come right out of the gate with 3-4 simultaneous magic arrows and 2-3 simultaneous flare shots with +70% crit rate from behind. Feint + barrage would be the cherry on top.
I know that rogue help a lot for dps , but low lv WB hunt isn’t about dmg alone . who find/reach the WB first is another big factor for boss cube.
I haven’t know that cloaking faster than mount before, so thanks for the info.
The reason I think SR +fletcher might be good option because mount give more HP and mobility these give you more space for mistakes(more HP less likely to die and has dmg reset, more mobility can avoid the boss skill better[can’t cloak because of the dmg reset]) espicially when hunt those lv270+WB,
As mentioned by the numerous replies. If IMC does not provide a stat reset, may see numerous fletchers reroll into pure str and take a rank of rogue.
By my path A3>QS3>Musk ill probably gow for musk 2 or scout 
Reminds me of my Ranger in Guild Wars 2, which has a trait that gives +10% crit rate when flanking. However in that game, you have a pet that can hold aggro.
Positioning will be weird, especially when soloing. I like Sneak Hit, but unless you have a reliable tank to hold aggro, most foes will be facing you.
we don’t even have archer 's r8 class info then how to discuss about it ? 
jugding by the already data mined hackapell skills from previous version, i guess the class will suck, mergen could be good, tho.
Much more interesting to see how cannoneer, musket and falconeer will go on.
SR i guess will get some ■■■■ circle 3 skill, like they got in c2, mainly because retreat shot is just so good.
those who failed and went r3 >f3 can now get a2
