I know it’s a bit early but i’m boring so let’s discuss about the future of the archer after the tsunami of changes coming at us.
My first impression was that archer got the worst of these, despite of clerics fan saying the got it, pistol theme, scout and hacka were removed of the archer branch. This could result in a very short build diversity but at least musky and canonier are getting some love with new classes. My biggest concern is now if you want to be a bow user, you will be forced to get mergen. I could be wrong and maybe things like ranger-sapper-qs will be a thing and it will depende a lot on how classes are reworked.
Anyway, i would like to list what are the builds will arise
-
Ranger - Falco/Flecther/(maybe hunter, maybe sapper, maybe wugu)- Mergen : A typicil bow user. I haven’t put qs here, because it seems running shot is gonna be revomed so i see no further sinergy, but i could be wrong. You could also try falc/fletcher/mergen.
-
Ranger/Hunter/Sapper - Musk/Canon - New Musk / New Canon : Again, as Canon now will use a two handed weapon and no rs, i see no point in combine those two with qs.
-
Sapper or Hunter themed: Maybe with the rework these two classes can shine by itself and things like ranger/wugu/sapper, sapper/wugu/hunter or any combination like that would become viable.
Anyway, what are you thoughts guys? As i said my biggest concern is mergen being too predominant and what will be the spot of qs.
