Archer:
A.R.R.R.F.F.F (Archer 1Rank - Ranger 3Rank - Fletcher 3Rank)
In the build above, it has RangerC3. Is this just for pure DPS and little AOE? The 2 builds you recommended have Sapper in them. Why take Sapper over Ranger C3?
in iToS the best setup is A2 R1 Scout1 Fletcher3.
in kToS it’s A1 R3 Fletcher3, but steady aim is severely nerfed in iToS.
For pure and only single target dps, A2-R2-F3 or A3-QS3 builds are the best. ie bossing.
But for AOE/DPS sapper-fletcher is the way too go. or QS3-Wugu as well.
Top archers really depend on how do you want to build around fletcher or QS.
is a3 a must? was gna go with a2>qs3>scout> muskt…
a2 crit buf, cloak buff into musket snipe… pewpewpew
Nah, not a must at all. IMO i say taking scout is better than A3 as well. for more utility/mobility.
hey seems like u know shits bout archer, mind checking out Im confused... is this build considered as dex, or str?
Why is A2 R1 S1 F3 considered best setup for iToS over A1 R3 F3?
Because the damage buff from A2 is higher than R3, even at max attribute
Cool. I think I’ll go with the path you recommended. Do you happen to have a skill build to accommodate this path?
The ranks in Broadhead/Bodkin/Barbed/Crossfire is all flavor, I just personally prefer broadhead for farming lepusbunnies.
But why scout in a pve build?
i didn’t realize the build I’m following has the best DPS in PVE lol. looks like Fletcher C3 gonna have a bad time in the early stages of TOS.
flare shot is one of the only true aoe skills at lower ranks that requires only a single rank of investment, good for dungeons, good for mobbing, good for grinding truffles/evac/storage etc. The only downside of the skill is that the range is too small, but it ticks damage every half a second and hits every monster within its vicinity. If you used it on a stack of truffles, you could probably do 30-40k+ damage per truffle in a full duration, which is way more damage than any other skill can do pre-rank4.
Cloak’s extra move speed is also super useful for boss rushing, getting to world bosses, rare-mob farming, and general questing.
Thanks for this. I’m a little confused (still new to the game) with Archer to Ranger and back to Archer, i thought once you go to Ranger you can’t go back to Archer, so how do i go about doing this? doesn’t it go Archer>Archer>Ranger>etc?
You can go back to any lower-ranked class at any given time.
So you can just do A1->R1->A2->Scout1 as your leveling path.
Thanks again! I’m going to post this build on the subreddit to see if anyone has more insight. Most likely I’m going to follow it because it makes the most sense. I just know this game isn’t as forgiving if you mess up on your builds.
Quick question, so I just got to level 15 and I get to ADVANCE to the next class. Is there a difference if I go A1>R1>A2 or A1->A2->R1? It just looks a little weird to go from A1->R1 back to A2. Or the reason we go from A1>R1 is so we have more skill variety then back to A2 for upgrades to A1 skills
hello mate i am going to open a new archer and planing to this build what stats u suggest for that build ?
Con = your char level/4
1:1 STR:DEX
I had a question with the skill build. I noticed that you put 1 skill point into certain skills like Oblique Shot, Critical Shot, Kneeling Shot, etc… Is the reason you put 1 into those skill is so you have more skills at your disposal? Wouldn’t it be better to put that 1 skill point into another skill to make it 5/5 instead of 4/5? i.e. Rank3 Archer 7/10 Full Draw, 1/10 Oblique, 1/5 Kneeling, 1/5 Heavy, would it be better to put those 3 SP into Full Draw to make it 10/10?
