I’ve been away from the game for a few months for several reasons (mainly state of Hunter pet, rl and because I was simply playing other games)
My last project before I left was an Archer2 > Hunter 2 which I now continued and found to be playable (definetly more useful than when I left).
The original build path was intended to be:
Archer2 > Hunter 2 > Wugu3
but I have some concerns about this path. For one I don’t know how Wugu3 holds up nowadays and am wondering if something like Wugu2 > Cannon2 would work better the other thing is that I play with a gamepad exlusively so Wugu is a pain in the ass probably.
Since I’m about to chose my Rank 5 I was wondering what to go now. A little AoE would be nice at some point.
[details=Builds I’ve thought about:]A2 > H2 > Scout > Falcon3 -> problem is it needs three char slots and the only aoe source is circling. Probably good for gamepad because pets auto target mostly.
A2 > H2 > Scout 3 > Mergen -> would solve the AoE question but Scout powerspike is delayed by a whole circle. Probably pretty good for solo play even if Cloaking + Pet is kinda useless.
A2 > H2 > Fletcher3 > Mergen -> no clue honestly. Fletcher3 was fotm back then.
A2 > H2 > X > X > Cannon2 -> Maybe Hunter 3 Growling + Smoke Grenade for mass disable? Haven’t heard much about Cannon2 other than it’s worse than Mergen(?). Also no clue about playability with Gamepad. Would also completely destroy any flying boss.[/details]
Pretty long post with some ideas since I can’t decide on what to do.
I guess some insight is dearly needed.
