Rogue build advice

Class and Rank Archer
#1

Hi I decided to make an archer character. TBH I was never into classes that use bows in any MMO, but I do like rogue type characters so i think i will give it a shot. This is mostly going to be a pvp build i guess.

My plan right now is

Archer>QS>hunter>scout>RogueC3

The third rank is what im unsure about. I was thinking id pick hunter for some CC and the skill that applied bleed since backstab and vendetta gets bonuses from bleeding enemies, but then i saw that skill only makes flying mobs bleed…

My other options were QS C2 or possibly sapper? make traps and wait for enemies…

I dont have much experience with archers so any opinions would be nice. Is there better options for a rogue that im not thinking of?

Also, i have a grand cross on my main that i was thinking of upgrading and putting some green gems in to use. I dont want to do this if it is quickly replaced. How long would this bow be good for with upgrades and gems?

Was looking around for more info and i saw something that said if you use feint with barrage it does extra hits and damage? if this is the case maybe something like Archer>ranger>quarrel shooter>scout>rogue3 would work?

Since you’re going for Rogue C3, here’s a link that shows which skills are usable while burrowing which could help you decide. here

Thanks that helps alot. Its also good to know that cloaking would work while laying traps too if i decided to pick up sapper.

Since i still cant decide though i think ill just make a few archers and get them to rank 3 or 4 to see which i will like better.

To be honest, burrow isn’t very useful for PvP (what your build seems to suggest u’re after). It makes you invisble, but you’re still able to be damaged by area skills (any deployment type or tose you aim to release)and your skill choices become very limited. So you could very well stop at rogue 2. In that case, maybe you could do something like:

Archer --> QS --> Hunter/Archer --> Scout --> Rogue C2 --> Musketeer

In my opinion, hunter isn’t all that much needed, I’d rather get archer 2 for extra full draw duration and quicker casting + heavy draw for no cooldown knockback. Also QS’sdeply pavise already has a chance to proc bleedin, so if that’s mainly why u’re going for hunter, that’s anotherreason to think about skipping it.

For the ambusher build you mentioned, maybe:

Archer --> QS/Ranger/Archer–> Sapper C2–> Scout --> Rogue 2.

Sapper 2 so you could have the best aoe trap that class can offer (broom trap, which also slows down enemies btw). Rogue has some nice sinergy with sapper as well, as capture can steal your traps when they are nearing its ending of duration and re-release it with extended duration (though CD is very high).

Ranger’s barrage does 10 hits instead of 5 when enemie’s debuffed by Rogue’s feint, so that’s some extra damage if you could get that near your target.

Hmm true, you do only get burrow at C3 rogue. If i only go to C2 then it would open up more options for me.

The second build you posted looks interesting, but i think i will try out QS3>scout>rogue2 to take advantage of the grand cross i just finished upgrading. Running shot lvl 7 looks like it would be pretty good. If its not how i expect i can always reroll.

Thanks for the advice.

If you’re taking Rogue, mind the combo Feint+Barrage from Ranger c1. It doubles the damage output.

Anything that makes you immobile isn’t worth it for PvP, read burrow and kneeling shot.

I think Archer c2 does a better job. 25% bonus criterate means you can invest even less in Dex.

Musketeer has one stun and 2 chances of stun. Rogue backstab (c2) also has a stun chance. QS c1 is exactly for that, but gives you less. A whole rank for a single stun?

if you have low dex swift step attribute also gives low crit rate because it gives crit rate base % by your crit rate

and most of rogue c3 build up to full str and crit rate gems so swift step still work without dex

I got my quarrel shooter to 50 and i know he gets alot better at circle 3, but i think i will turn this character into something like archer>QS3>archer2>SR2.

Going to start another archer and try to go towards Archer>ranger3>scout>rogue2
