a2r1SC3 is still a safe class to pick, you got A2 for crit rate, Sc3 for split shots. you might want to look around archer thread for some Scout>falc1>mergen , or Scout3 cannon2 or musket2 can also work, your path is kind of versatile, it just depends on where you’d want to focus.
your stat distribution is actually off. the current situation favors DEX heavily. you might want to reconsider this.
This is just a dg/farm character, but since I was not being able to clear it at lvl177 I decided to lvl it up to the next rank and hope it could help, maybe it was not a bad idea since the dg will have a rework on lvl …
Full dex or any kind of 1:2 distribution?
If you are following and browsing thru the mergen thread of @Nicola (lil help here lol) with her current gears her optimized stat distribution is
5x STR
3x CON (or minimum of 15k HP w/ gears)
The rest = Dex
The 50ish STR makes a good improvement in dmg and pen block.
Note: Stats are for level 3XX
I dont plan to lvl it so high, unless it needs to make a clean farm dungeon …
Current Set is
Roxona Plate Set (full) / +5 Khasti 3 red Gem lvl5 / 2x Beakaras bracer
I also have a reset stat pot that I am keeping untill we know what will be good for the new dg farm style… but I guess dex will still be the best path eh …
Take Rogue. Sneak Hit and Feint + Barrage are really good for that build. You will stay at rank 7 to farm, so what is your problem with Rogue?
Since I’m going to just use this character to spam Split Arrow, I might as well go with red gems. I still have not seen evidence that shows that the two bounced arrows of Split Shot do not multiply critical damage correctly, as stated by others in my original link.
hello, need help for my build, my build is a3s3 currently and planing for take sr for the retreat shot and more manuverability for clearing dg. is it good? or there’s another class that more good than that to take?
in terms of farming capability. yes SR is an optimal pick, not only you gain bonus movement while spamming splitshot, you also get access to retreat shot which is one of the best aoe skill.
thx for reply. yes i only build that char for farming purpose for funding my main char 
i was watching video scout sr in dungeon and it do faster to clearing the dungeon (i think it’s saintone video, is it right?) . i’m inspired from that lol
for the gem, when i reach SR, should i using red gem or yellow gem for the best damage?
you should stick to red gem since it benefits more to your splitshot.
is the lvl145 dungeon changing to 170 dungeon in the near future true?
I think you should mention how many potions are used each run. Because right now, I’m using about 30 of both HP and SP potions per run. I can’t kill the magic enemies fast enough before they hit me for thousands of damage per hit, especially if they freeze me.
You could buy dispeller scrolls to prevent freeze CC. Dispeller scrolls at market/auction house. They prevent all rank 1 CC. Activate dispeller & don’t ever worry about PvE CC anymore. 1 CC blocked = 1 Dispeller used.
If you have a pet, stay behind your pet. The enemy spells will target their nearest enemy (pet if you stay behind the pet). Pet will take all ice bolts.
Though it’s strange since the coliflower’s are flying. You should be able to clear them easily with 2H bow.
Put blue gems on your boots and you can get at least one of your headgear + magic defense and dont forget to enchant your top and bottom the magic defense. 400 mdef is enough (100-300 from magic) but 500 ish mdef will be better (1 from magic 15 when frozen).
Here’s a video about Split arrow’s yellow vs red gem comparison that i just found:
https://youtu.be/J3cOzcV904k
Can you summarize this video :3?
Your videos showed clearly why we MUST take red gems over yellow gems for scout3.
Aufgowle has high minimum and maximum damage bonus and Light Gorithos has… er… evasion.
Aufgowle damage 575-836 went 723-1082 with minimum and maximum damage bonus.
Light Gorithos damage 389-561 went 389-1281.
Yellow gems are good with skill based on many multipliers. Other than that, go for red.
Correction: went 389-561+(3 lv6 red gem*240) which is 389-1281
My bad, forgot to add the base damage. Will edit.
if you can ALWAYS reach that 1281 max atk before critting, red gem wins. But it is very RNG, you can’t control the output as you desire.
