So I want to make an Archer. Need some help

Class and Rank Archer
#1

Hey guys and gals.
I want to make an archer. Firstly i have high ping so an auto atk build is out of the question atm.

So I have 2 builds in mind, would hear some opinions on both from some more experienced players

Build1
Archer2>??>Scout>Fletcher3
Kind of looking at this build as a Boss rusher. Cloak past trash and pewpew with the OPness that is better known as fletcher.

Build2
Archer>???>Falconer>Cannoner
Guess I’m looking at AoE DPS for this build. Circling+nuke large mobs sort of things. Was thinking A2 R3 but I’m sort of keen on a PvE scout build but couldnt figure out any good synergy with it in this build hence why i moved to Build1.

So yeah, I’m sort of keen on a scout build. I like the whole cloak and dagger thing but in all honestly rogue looks pretty meh for PvE which is what I want this character for.

So questions.

  1. In regards to cloak does it drop aggro? and if so does it work on bosses?
  2. General opinion on Build1 and what would be a good rank3 to add?
  3. Can anyone see any good synergy in scout/falconer/cannoner or is it a wasted build concept?
#2

are there lots of those boss instances at higher levels? cloaking past mobs to get directly to the boss is nice. I’ve been playing invi characters in my other MMO’s

#3

Well I’m not sure about higher lvls, but i’ve seen boss rush parties shouted for up to lvl190 so I’m guessing ppl rush any and all duns.
And yeah I’m with you there, I’ve always played thief type classes in most MMOs.
ATM heavily leaning towards build but I cant decide if I want to go Archer3, Ranger or QS at rank 3(or actually 2)
-Archer3 lets me increase SS and multishot and gives me access to twin arrows but I’m guessing both will fall off late game and SS is only a 5% eva boost.
-Ranger has barrage which would also fall off late game, especially only being lvl5 and a nice 10second buff but not sure if its worth it which such a low duration.
-QS adds a couple of useful skills, Pavise and Caltrops are both utility based so I can see some use in them but not sure how’d they work on bosses.

For your boss rusher: A3-S1-Ro3

For AoE: A3-R1-Ro1-Fa1-C
This would be a liiiiiiitle bit more expensive because you would need to invest in atk ratio gear. Atk ratio turns [multishot] into an aoe. R1-Ro1 would be for [fient] [barrage].

#5

As boring, i mean fun as that looks I can see that being nerfed in the near future. I cant see any game devs wanting players being able to safely solo Bosses like that.

I’m curios about the fient barrage thing, does that have to do with sneak hit??

#6

Using Feint then Barrage doubles the amount of hits.

Maybe unrelated but the boss in the video I believe is considered flying type so the damage numbers there are actually doubled because of it… Just something to note.

Edit: Here’s a video :slight_smile:

#7

Interesting, thanks for the reply.
I dont see anything about that in the skill description.
Is that some sort of hidden mechanic?
Watched the video and looks pretty cool but cant work out why its happening D:

#8

Yeah, there’s hidden skill synergies.
If you’d like to see another try looking up Hand Knife + Deprotected Zone. (Monk+Cleric combo)
They are the only two I’m aware of at the moment though.
(Played a Monk in iCBT2 and I’m currently playing Ranger :stuck_out_tongue:)

#9

Yeah thats pretty cool.
I’m still keen on scout though xD
ATM thinking A2>R1>S1>F3
I cant see the archer skills being useful endgame
QS pavise and caltrops seem pretty cool but from all the videos i just looked at, enemies just ignore Pavise and caltrops dont hit air.
Which leaves Ranger, a 10% dmg buff will stay good even in higher ranks. If it wasnt for the 40% uptime i’d have no questions in taking ranger.

#10

Well, I’d recommend making a build on here:


It’s way easier to advise people if you know what skills they want.
And it seems you haven’t taken a good look at which Rank classes are available. (Falconer is a rank 6 class, you can’t get Circle 3, yet)

#11

Fletcher not falconer sorry lol.
My other build i wanted to do falconer>cannoner but scout got my interest when I was playing around with builds. Thats where scout>fletcher got my attention since fletcher doesnt really rely on previos ranks for dps leaving my first few ranks open without really hurting my dps.

#12

Hmm…
Well I’d say taking the Ranger isn’t really worth it, you won’t be using anything other than Steady Aim once you get Fletcher… but taking Archer C3 doesn’t add much either, basically just more multi-shot.
Although very common a good build is Ranger3-Fletcher3
Barrage will have enough damage to still be worth it and Steady Aim will do more.
However you said you wanted scout…


This is my build, but I’ve been having trouble deciding on what to do for Rank 6. Originally I had planned to do Scout, and I’m still trying to decide. The idea was it’s a super burst DPS build. (Something like Feint>Sneak Hit>Steady Aim>Cloaking>Barrage/Snipe, till death)
Perhaps that will work for you?

Anyways it’s your character and the game isn’t super hardcore, just know if you want a different class you have to start another character.

#13

Yeah personally I’m against cookie cutter builds, that being said my main character atm is a Chaplain -.-
Anyways my brothers making a cryo3chrono3 which is slow AF to lvl so he wants me to make a DPS char to lvl with him. Already have a wiz and priest and i’ve never really enjoyed playing swordsman type classes… in any game so that left archer. Originally I wanted to make a Falconer since having a falcon sounded cool but as I was making builds I stumpled across Scout and decided I want scout in my build. TBH I dont see any real synergy between falconer and scout so yeah moved on.
Anyways still cant decide what to go for rank3. Might just have to make a char and test it out myself xD

edit: Pretty set in stone now A2>???>Scout>Fletcher3

#14

Alright then.
Good luck on your new character. :smile:

#15

I am Archer3 -> Scout1 now.
At first i wanted to go Rogue next and then x and then Musketeer/Canoneer…

But lots of people tell me that would be a bad idea :confused:
Now i am thinking about how i can still get a viable build.
Do you have any ideas what i can do next?

#16

Hey.
I’ve seen a few ppl go Archer3>Scout3>X
or Rogue3, like the archer in the video above by c2gaming
or thats one of the build paths I’m thinking about going with Fletcher. Seeing as none of the rank3 classes really benefit fletcher in an A2 buiild.
Those are the 3 viable builds I’m aware of, I’m sure there’s plenty of others though.
I think its most important to ask yourself what you want to do with your char, dungeons, farming, world bosses, pvp, etc and then build a character around that that looks fun to you to play.
