SR meta build question; QS3 or Scout1-Rouge1 or Ranger3?

Class and Rank Archer
#1

currently Im an archer2ranger1scout1rogue1 planning to go for SR3 later when rank8 comes, now before I advance further, do you guys think this build can compete with pure PVE SR builds like QS3-SR3 or even Ranger3SR3? I suppose not but my build does have some advatange in PvP mainly with scout skills and rogue capture skill, and maybe PvE with feint+barrage.

Im wondering now if I should have went for fletcher1 instead of rogue? But I find fletcher1 to be not worth, broadhead is 1 hitKO in PvP but thats pretty much it I think.

Do you guys think I should reroll to QS3 to SR3? This builds lacks some AoE damage but single auto attack damage seems to be the best for archers.

QS3 is not as attractive with the new limacon buff. Still good though but just not as good as before.

I think your rank 4/5 choices of scout and rogue don’t mesh well with a mount, but if you’re honestly okay with that then you might as well keep going into SR3. You don’t lose too much from skipping R2 and R3 in all honesty.

If you don’t want to be unoptimized, then you could adapt that into a pretty good burst build with falcon1 Musket2.

#3

With your current build, I think it is perfect for Musk. Really, scout would be a waste for SR3 since the pet cannot be invincble.

I do have QS3 SR2 (going SR3 once available) - The good thing about this build is you always shoot at range and very practical when dealing crappy mobs which you always encounter in most situations. I also think this build is perfect for farming and clearing 130 dun full run fast (i can clear around 10 mins) I do think the new limacon buff would be a good combination for QS3. After running shot you can use the limacon buff.

R3SR3 have a different play style. R3 is more of a meelee range because mainly of barrage + steady aim. You also have the bounce shot that can aggro mobs. Also spiral arrow is a plus. And I almost forgot to mention that you have more weapon choices if you go the Ranger route. For QS3, you will be stuckd with Grand Cross until you get a Didel Grand Cross.

PVP wise, personally I think QS3 SR3 has more advantage mainly because of stone shot, pavise and caltrops and the shield mastery.

Gameplay style aside are muskets and SR3 both about equally future proof in terms of power? In other words can they both kill stuff about equally?

Asking a future proof question is tricky, muskets have c3 so they should be fine, SR3 is at the mercy of the game developers. Regardless it would be nice to know if either of them have problems killing mobs at the 270-280 range and beyond.

Edit: thank you for the replies

I think KRtos accept SR3 as the best of Archer right now.
QS3+SR3 most most popular.
R3+Fl3+Mergen = 2nd.
R3+SR3 = 3rd.

SR3 depends on Rank 9 and 10 classes letting you use skills while mounted, unless they let us set an agression level to our pets so they stop running into the mobs and die. We also won’t get to max a rank 7 class + get a last rank 10 class unlike muskets so our rank 9 class would have to be a filler (I’m assuming rank 10 classes will be fantastic)

SR3 is awesome now. I don’t think it’ll be the best archer

#7

In Kr They already add option to forbidden pet to auto attack. and add command to call pet to owner too

#8

most popular != most effective build

case in point: r3 f3 being in the list. lol.

#9

Do you know if that A.I. tool was something for companions only? Or could the summoning classes use it?

#10

i think running shot is the only low rank class skill thats useful in late game even when rank 9, 10, 11 is introduced. It scales wonderfully with mainhand wep but the downside is that it has no attribute upgrade.

skills from other classes like feint+barrage combo can be useful only when iToS decide to improve pet AI because everytime I dismount my pet dies

#11

The thing with running shot is that it doesn’t need an enhance attribute. The skill itself gives a multiplier to the auto attacks’ damage and is really good. The downside it has is that it forces you to stick to the grand cross series (and that it’s quite ping dependent)

#12

Ranger3 Fletcher3 was easily the best world bossing build before Korea nerfed it to its current state, so for its time was indeed the best build, leading it to be the most popular build.

In the case of SR3, I do think that the Limacon Buff curve ball that came out of nowhere and threw a lot of QS3 SR2 builds off. If you wanted to make an SR3 from scratch, A2 R3 SR3 is the most optimized build.

If they ever fix Feint to work on mounts, then A3 R1 Rogue1 SR3 will be the most optimized build.

#13

Yeah when I saw this I think it’s something like “I have no choice”. But since only SR in list as #1 #3 in R7 - R8 that why I think they really like this class.

When I look at popular poll of R7 again I saw something weird…
It’s A3-Scout3-SR1 lol. Is it a best farm Build of KR Archer?

#14

In update note It’s list as Companion. And It’s option in companion tool. So I think It have no change about summoning class.

Ranger3 fletcher3 is popular because ranger3 steady aim in KrToS was strong unlike iToS steady aim. Just recently it became iToS weak. Most decided to just stick with their maxed char and go mergen.
They replace swift step by Chronomancer quicken crit rate buff, since every lategame party has a chrono.

#16

even for ET? r3 seems better still. for rogues, does werewolf card work great now? it’s been weeks since we got it but it doesnt seem to get much attention as expected.
