<Re:build> Falconer-Mergen

I would only drop Falconer if a new interesting bow class showed up. I’ve played Fletcher before and like was said, it’s stressful being a piano class. I’ve decided that less is better for me, even my build is a lot more simple than used to be, rarely going for one point wonders anymore.

well, i must be the anti mainstream here, i removed ranger long ago from the equation. Beside steady aim, all the other ranger skills are far weaker than falconer’s, for bossing and mobbing.
Falconer-mergen is a balanced gameplay between DPS and support. Ranger-mergen is a DPS slavery gameplay

Ranger received zero love from the big SFR patch, like always, they will make a blog post about how Ranger has fallen behind and buff it again, predictable IMC.

I am hijacking my own thread but have you guys tried sap wugu falc in cm? Lol

The build is strong and I can farm very relaxed with one of my eyes closed haha

Ranger is one of the most powerful classes still. A reminder that Mergen/Fletcher/Ranger is still likely the strongest build in Tree of Savior at the moment.

Bernice stage 100 with that build.

The big benefit of Ranger is Critical Shot.

True that, Crit shot buff is OP as long as you crit. I think you can fully capitalize on that with boss monsters that have high HP, in CM though they will be too overkill for a full built fletcher main whale

build is strong or your gear too strong? try using +11 t8 savinose set from event with no ichor at all for benchmarking

The mechanics behind the build is strong bro

thats the more reason we want to see how well it perform using free +11 T8 savinose set from event at CM :wink:

While I don’t disagree with the notion that ranger/fletch/merg is one of the strongest builds atm, it’s more puzzling/concerning to me that there’s only one archer at 100, and no other archer at even 80.

Do you do much Bernice, Crevox? As unlikely as it is, it also could just be due to boss rng. A lot of that dictates stage ranking.

To me, that screenshot of rankings says more about where scouts are than where archers are.

I don’t do Bernice much nowadays, but I did in the past. I mainly play a summoner build and summoner performs poorly in Bernice due to the elite monsters.

Scouts are definitely strong, and there’s still an archer at 79. The 100 person must’ve been both lucky and also very geared.

Unfortunately I don’t have the event xbow :frowning:

The thing with that build is, it’s DoT that ignores defense. Honestly cannot feel the difference until around stage 5, but it starts to shine around that until further stages too

As reference, was fully geared and maxxed attrib pts on ranger falco mergen (before SFR changes), and I was having a challenging time doing stage 6 outer 15

On an alt with much less investments, I was clearing stage 7 with sap wugu falc (again before SFR changes)

Recent SFR buffs to skills made falco-mergen stronger, but so as with sap wugu falc. I just take this into consideration since I do tons of CM so I wanted a build that was most efficient :slight_smile:

isn’t that mainly because of masi xbow ichor?

Nice farewell gift!

Is it not because elem dmg ignores def as a whole?

Why farewell? :o

insufficient reason to continue playing. Global-drop-material-at-end-game-maps patch kill the joy of low-budget farming material from specific monsters to craft best equipment by your own hand. Nowadays, I even go to farm monster gem manually to sate my craving.

Last time I did that was when farming mats for 2practo weapons since each mat was averaging 1m each back then lol

Totally agree.

My normal days are just 1-2 cms and then participate in gem feud or any event going on.

I almost never field grind anymore to farm.

I cannot remember last time I set foot to field farm myself, mainly Cm

That is why I play other games after dailies. But ToS literally makes me sleepy, most time I fall asleep doing CM

Hi everyone I am a returning player. and i kinda new for archer.

I found this build from this video.

What do you guys think about this build?

Ps. i have mirusbow ichor but my max aar without buff just 8.

I’m in the process of upgrading my full leather Solmiki set on my Mergen and I had already crafted one plate Savinose part but thanks god I didn’t continue. With the forthcoming buff to leather I think it would be a mistake to switch to plate no? I think I’m gonna wait for that patch and go for leather again.

Can’t tell much about Fletcher which I don’t use, for the rest it’s ok. I don’t skill Spiral Arrow which I find crappy and I have those points in High Anchoring instead. With Fletcher you will have enough skills so just ditch Down Fall, it’s pointless now (put the point into Triple Arrow since you have the Misrus ichor to boost that skill).
