I would change the Archer c2 to Rogue c1 for [feint] and [sneak hit] with [capture] as a bonus.
Why?
- [feint] doubles your [barrage].
- [sneak hit] gives you 70% crit CHANCE (not crit rate) when attacking from behind (you extra mount speed should get you there) with a 85.7% uptime (10 sec down time).

my build is archer1-qs3-rogue/archer c2 ( not sure cause i dont have good ping) - sr1-cannon/musket(or sr2)
Rogue skills cant be used while mounted ( maybe Im wrong ) , I want to be mounted 100% of the time
Was actually going to do the same thing:
Archer>Ranger C3>Rogue>Schwarz C2
Pretty much everything works mounted, and when you unmounts to feint+barrage you just get on the mount and run away.
Heres the problem, Rogue C2 has a lot of value but nothing works mounted, Archer C2 is great for swift step but your a skill based build not an auto attack one and on top of that you cant use kneeling shot either. Plus multishot ten is nice but the SR skills are at least comparable to that. Plus rogue C1 already has sneak to help with crit. and capture as a tech option.
On top of everything Archer class in general cant do anything now without some form of rank 7 (Musketeer or Cannoneer) or fletcher3/Scout3 as far as damage. So you have to come to terms with the fact that your not going to be dealing as much damage and your not going to be a sustained ranged DPS because you don’t have running shot.
Positives:
The synergy is fantastic, most everything works together well and has a purpose with no wasted ranks, On top of that you have a mount witch means that you will have more base HP and evasion than other archers depending on how much you put into it. This is nice because in later game content you wont die in one hit (remember 10 ranks and lvl 600 content archers have one of the worst hp mods) and mobbing with retreat shot on paper is amazing although akward in practice.
I personally view SR as a sustained DPS type of class and think the QS3 route is slightly better just because the laystyle matches up and you have a purpose in party by staying away from mobs and constantly providing damage with little to no cooldowns.
My only issue is how effective is this build in earth tower, because I feel like your going to get passed up for other archers// not deal enough damage to mobs with Barrage.
You can use sneak hit, and feint+barrage is something that you spam and run away anyway so its not that bad, especially when he has a mount to run away faster and you don’t witch means he will actually make it out alive if he didn’t kill a mob.
But yea most rogue skills don’t work mounted that’s why Rogue C2 is not recommended.
Thank you Locke, very helpfull input
Keep in mind that 1) theory crafting (I don’t have a sr yet im still learning, some of my older posts were hilariously incorrect) and 2) this isn’t for GvG or PvP at all ever.
For proper versatility you need either rogue Circle one or Scout Circle 1 is a must have because of Camo and sneak plus flare shot gives you a MUCH needed DoT with you lack. At that point rogue is mostly for barrage damage because you wont be getting skill level 15 and your steady aim is only 10% so the circle in rogue would help with that.Prolly something better you can do but I have no idea about PVP other than Scout is good to have.
Since you said feint works well with barrage
Is also rogue good for archer-qs3-sr2?
Try not to force anything in that doesn’t make sense, if you meanr Ranger3 instead of QS3 then maybe but you cant use anything but sneak hit without mounting, for QS im not sure what is best but Archer C2 seems to be the standard. Multishot gives you great single target and Swift step is nice to have, problem is that everything in rank 5 wants you to dismount and its an issue.
maybe i’ll go archer c2. since i cant use kneeling shot cause of my bad ping i’ll get swift step multi shot and full draw
only fletcher c1 skills in rank5 works while mounted
Pretty much, schwarzer isn’t a class that is exactly does you any favors it’s a class type that’s best for soloing and light party play. With hackapell MAYBE bringing something to the table later.
