Scout 1 > Fletcher 3 Doubts

Class and Rank Archer
#1

Hello everyone, i’ve been reading the Archer section for quite some days ( weeks lol) and i’ve been keeping track of all the Fletcher discussions and topics and i’ve read many people saying that A2 > R1 > Sc 1 > Fletcher 3 was a good build to go considering the current status on ranger steady aim and stuff, but, aside from the cloaking utility, does SC1 brings anything for the table at all? Flare shot seems like a hell of an underwhelming skill.

I didn’t manage to find any video of a A2 > R1 > Sc1 > Fletcher 3 build so i could actually see in action; does anyone here who’s using that build mind to share some little footage like farming / boss rotation? As much as i like theorycrafting, i wanted to see some action :S.

Anyway, thanks in advance everyone! Cheers.

Flare shot is like an additional magic arrow but with a longer cooldown. Cloaking is survival and speed boost wrapped in one (people say the new meta for WB other than dullahan is max move speed you can get to find and max damage on a WB before others show up) Flu Flu could be useful cc, and Camouflage is another defensive tool.

Vs other options, archer 3 offers twin arrows as a small filler ability and multishot to 15 but most comments I’ve read say 10 is a sweet spot for time channeled vs damage done; ranger 2 is barely an increase to ranger 1 – small upgrade to steady aim and little added damage per arrow onto barrage; wugushi 1 adds short duration poisons that can add potentially more damage than scout but is overwritten by other wugushis’ poisons. The other option is still Ranger 3 F 3, which has stronger buff than A2 swift step if full Str build in the future has achievable max crit rate without swift step.

Even though poison could be overwritten, wouldn’t it be a good filler nevertheless? Your poison will have lower duration, so if you wait for other wugushi to cast their poison, and your cast yours, you could ‘potentially’ have a full time damage poison while the others will still have their on cooldown, right? Or am i just being too optmistic about this? hahahahaha I can see cloaking being an awesome tool to find bosses since the move speed is simply awesome, but let’s say a non-scout with wind runner could achieve “similar” results, right?

Btw thanks for you input on the matter! :smiley:

Want to chime in as a Scout1 > F2 here. I rarely use Flu Flu. The only situation where I would is if I’m standing in my Magic Arrow surrounded by foes that hit VERY hard, so Flu Flu would alleviate some of the incoming damage. I’m 2:1 STR:DEX, so I don’t have as much evasion.

Camouflage is great as a substitute Safety Zone, especially if I get party matched with a party that has no tank. I’ll grab the boss aggro, run to a corner, then Camouflage while the rest of the party can DPS without having to evade attacks.

And Cloaking… No words needed. Just get Cloaking with the speed attribute.

Thanks for your input man, i was waiting for a Sc 1 > Fletcher to come here hahahaha Yeah, today i was talking with my friends over skype so they could help me decide between Wugushi and Scout, and the majority opted out for Scout for utility + some kind of “safe” move on bosses, since i can compete with other wugushis and kinda gimp my dps trying to poison the boss ( i’m looking forward to WB later with some friends). I still wanted, from the bottom of my heart, to go for wugushi but it seems SC utility is a better addition than wugushi.

If you choose Wugushi, you will have Miao Ornament and can sell it on Market :stuck_out_tongue:

You can also override the Poison ticks of other Wugushi during WB, so you will out damage them since you still have Magic Arrow (like securing the box on your side).

Additional DPS ticks by Zhendu
Additional AoE - Wugong Gu (but will only hit 5 mobs or 6? not sure)
Additional Bleed - Need blow

Scout for bad-ass costume!

Scout also gives you cloak to have potential on PvP
Flare shot is another DPS for 14seconds which scales well with your damage
Camouflage - if you need to run out of combat
Flu-Flu : situational CC skill

R4 is just a filler/utility class as most of your rotation will mainly on Fletcher skills.

I choose Scout btw :smiley:

5 movespeed ftw!
