As far as I know, with the rennovation of the field/dungeon ranking system, this thread does not pertain to future builds of the game. Therefore, Wendigo Searchers can probably… not explode.
ps have you seen the defense formula? even if you get the correct armor type to counter the damage, it’s still annoying to people who don’t shove everything into con. don’t be that full of yourself.
Wendigo Searchers will only partially explode?
Only some of them! Others will remain unexploded.
Like unexploded landmines, just waiting for future generations to step on them?
They’re not landmines! They will be speed bumps later on. A two star map instead of a three star map.
^^
Now add the auto aim of krobt to it.
Wonderfull, people wont be able to rush solo through these areas anymore.
I really like wendigos.
It’s good when people are a bit forced to play together, sometimes.
And for counters:
-block
-revive
-aggro tank who goes first
-fade
-reflect shield
-silence (fletcher magic arrow, drivebs statue for example will help)
-Any cc i left out
It’s true that the inital burst atk will hurt. These maps have something like first strike for an reason xD.
I hope this encoureages people to work together … and maybe not to just build a dps barb. Maybe take a rank or two of peltasta too.
I’m happy that I’m a wiz 3 ele 3, I actually go through that area easily by using sleep.
that map is an irritant! searchers hit way to hard on everyone. i think they have a crit % jacked up to high or a armor pen jacked up. not sure but its not right.
YUp hard cc.
But glasscannons will cry alot there,
And I guess that “I can CC I am a God” will laugh at the glasscannons.
Probably xD.
To bad … i will be a glasscannon too.
They’re going to change some Dex stuff for sure xD.
And my fletcher build doesnt has any cc … except magic arrows small aoe with silence chance per hit.
Better get a friendly helper fast xD.
Some stuff will be unbearable without some kind of cc.
and then you get mobs that also have hard CC and a billion damage and hp
hows that 5 second freeze xD, better stock up on dispellers lol
xD
Jup.
Glad that there’s oracle class.
Prophecy. Removes a level 1 abnormal status, instantly. Up to a few times, for an long duration (for that low cd.).
I can see some pardoners getting reach if theyr clever.
Selling prophecy level 5 scrolls will make simoney really worth it xD.
Most cc are Level1 cc.
I think stuff like death sentence and massive bleeding is level 2.
I havent gotten into testing that too much xD.
or you can go with plague doc lol
not sure what skills you can simmony with them but all that CC immunity XD
i also bet monk C2 into plague doc will be the best solo class
heals, ignore CC and decent damage
then you can spread monk debuffs with pandemic, and you get a decent nuke out of it too
At least I have Stone Shot for CC o:
Would you recommend Fletcher C1 over Wugushi C2? I’ve never tried Fletcher :c
Fletcher gets good from c2.
Magic arrow is your bread and butter.
The other skills do good dps.
But the best thing to an aoe skill is magic arrow.
+silence
+against single target 25 hits in a short time.
I would say. Go wugushi, if you dont plan on going c3 fletcher.
Your heavily hindered by “twohand bow stance” skills otherwise ^^.
Fletcher is a way of life xD.
Greatest single spam and pvp ability (outside from nuke close range rouge with backstab+1c scout).
A fletchers barbed arrow is kind of an cleric and priest killer.
As long as they wear cloth armor … 3 hits … level 15 gives 2k atk base skill dps. xD And a 3 second cd.
Wugushi.
Throw pot gu.
Is like magic arrow, just without hit max count. Which make sit better against large mobs. Dps wise.
Getting Sapper C2>Wugushi C2 means never having problems with monsters on the ground but having almost nothing to use against flying monsters. I’m trying to think in a replacement for this but can’t find anything that feels better for me ;-;
Then fletcher would help.
Magic arrow doesnt hit flying types.
But barbed shot and Bodkinpoint hurts them xD.
Together with the twohand bonus against flying.
As long as they’re not ghost type armor, barbed shot is nice. As most flyign types are leather or cloth type armor.
Do you struggle against single flying types? Do you want to mob and farm them?
Hunter’s snatching might help too.
Pulls flyingtypes to the ground, literally.
It’s an overheat skill with an okay cd.
You might not be able to farm flying types comfortable, but you wouldn’t have any problems against them anymore. As your ground dps hits them now too.

Pet dps was okay. (And it’s a good tank, as long as it’s not under 10 levels of enemies.)
If you even use lots of silver, they can get rather strong.
–
PS: Snatchign doesnt work on bosses … sadly.
I don’t really struggle but I don’t farm them. On map with flying monsters I just ignore them when I can. Hunter isn’t an option for my build :c because the pet gets aggro and ruins my kitting + trap strategies >.>
Fletcher was the only option I found that would work nice at C1 but I still don’t know if it’s a worthy replacement.
DPS-wise.
Barbed Arrow is good, as said.
Hallmary arrow, may be something for you.
It’s spread explosion atk does more dps then the one it hits.
But i never used it against flying types…
When you can overkill something with barbed … you don’t actually care much about an small dps burst from that other skill xD.
True … pet ai is horrible.
But i found something amusing while farming egnomes solo and tested it out with others too.
You and your pet get counted as seperated players.
You can aggro up to around 10 or 11 mobs, max.
Your pet can do the same.
If your to far away agro will switch to the next closes target.
Aka your pet.
I used that said pet… as aggro bait.
Run around lure mobs, have my pet stand somewhere and lure my aggro to it too.
Then use dps skills on enemy that do aoe or at least multihit dps in an area.
Was actually usefull when i made my swordy or when subject to mobs i couldnt one or two hit with skills.
