A build inspired by Judge Dredd theme. If Dredd has an attack police dog as well, lol!
Crossbow
Shield
Leather armor
Class Synch Combo
Archer 1 - Archer 2 - Hunter 1 - Hunter 2 - Fletcher 1 - Fletcher 2 - Fletcher 3
Some players have misunderstood the requirements thinking that you can only use shield by putting at least a rank on Quarry Shooter. No, you don’t have to.
Archer 1 - 2
Swift Step - 10 [Passive : Group Buff - Crit Rate boost]
Oblique Shot - 10 [Passive : Slow]
Multi Shot - 10
This is basically your main DPS until you get fletcher skills, try to get passives as the slow on Oblique shot makes kiting easier, and swift step passive gives you more crit rate.
Hunter 1 - 2
Coursing - 5
Snatching - 5
Rush Dog - 10 [Passive : Stun]
Retrieve - 5
Hounding - 5
The pet commands offer great utility especially when IMC puts a better AI on them, at the moment it’s a little iffy but hey I tried it on pvp and it has successes. Another tip is when a pet gets stuck standing aimlessly, using the pet command hounding fixes it, this is just my findings.
The rush dog passive is great for pvp as it offers 40% chance to stun for 6 seconds and the skill has a 5 second CD.
Coursing is good for heavy HP mobs it reduces their physical defense and gives you a significant crit rate boost to the target over the duration.
Hounding is good for uncloaking stealth.
Snatching and retrieve is a good ability to add to your DPS.
Fletcher 1 - 2 - 3
Crossfire - 4 [Passive : Burn]
Broad head arrow - 10
Bodkin point - 1
Barbed Arrow - 15
Magic Arrow - 10 [Passive : Silence]
Divine Machine Arrow - 5 [Passive : Shock]
The beauty of this build is it offers a heavy option of debuffs and low to no cool down skills over the downside of having to use arrows for each skill use. A chance to silence which negates not only skill casting but auto attacking as well is very useful, along with Shock that reduces movement speed for 10 seconds, the skill also has a 10 second cool down. Barbed arrow in my opinion is more of a PVE skill but if you find PVP opponents that wears cloth armor that would be a very effective skill. Crossfire too is effective for mowing down light HP mobs. Broad head level 10 bleeds a target for 10 seconds the skill is also a 10 second cool down.
Attribute ratio.
from 1 - 225
1 : 1 Con / Spr
225 - 260 [Or whatever is the last level before the next up level and up rank patch]
Dump on Dex
Now I know this is a build that doesn’t follow common archer builds but this actually work really well, on PVE at least. PVP I only get to play around it for a little bit but I had wins more than losses over it so I think it’s decent lol.
The combination of being very tanky, high hp, more weight means more arrows to carry plus having good magic defense and high mana means you can stand take hits and just keep spamming skills and applying debuff in a mostly 10 - 15 second cycle.
Damage is mediocre until you reach max level with the dex you have plus the boost from swift step critical, and coursing crit rate boost as well should somewhat compensate for low dex.
