1100 evasion is so god-like. Also you really do need A2 in Fletcher. A2-R1-X is the best because with 1 rank you get 10% steady. You don’t rant to waste 2 extra rank just for another 10% increase. With Glass Mole going above R1 is useless. Swift Step for A2 is prob the most OP buff for Archer.
+1 A2 indeed is a big boost.
Is R1 better than going Ar3? Need vet opinions on whether the +5 levels of Swift Step and Multi Shot would be better passed up for Lvl5 Barrage and Steady Aim.

R1 is a really good rank1 pick up, one of the best for dps builds

I personally dont use multishot once i reached fletcher 2. Cant remember the last time i used it. Swift step at A2 is already 100% uptime. Barrage at lvl 5 is good enough for fast leveling solo at early levels. Steady will give you slight boost in damage for magic arrow.
I feel like archer 3 for +15 multi is a waste. Even if you jump out of the animation lock when you use the ability, you can’t attack until all 15 shots go off. It’ll appear as if you are attacking/using skills during the time these shots are going off, but it’s only the animation, no damage is going out.
Ranger 1 is really good for barrage, it’s helpful even at lv 5. It’s even better if you’re picking up rogue (Feint + Barrage).
Your answers made me feel good about my build again. I thought my build is gimp’d with all these Archer3>Rank4-7 build post I’ve been seeing lately. Thanks guys!
Go ranger 1 instead of archer 3. Multishot level 15 takes too long to charge and archer has no pain barrier or surespell thats why it is easy to be interrupted. Twin arrow is a meh skill and a mana sink. Swift step is already 100% uptime in archer 2.
We get ranger 1 simply for steady aim not barrage. Your choice if you want to go archer 3. Its a waste though.
