Hey guys, just crosposting a topic I opened up in reddit ealier. Any help and inputs are very appreciated (reddit link)
Hello
everyone, I’m back to the game now and I’ve decided to prepare an “all-around PvE” archer for the upcoming rank 8 classes (supposed to arrive 'til September’s end).
Playing around the simualtor, I’ve come up with this archer 2 / Ranger 1/ Scout 3 / Musk 2 build.
My idea was to have scout 3’s split arrow as my main source of continuous “small aoe” damage, with archer 2 for swift step attribute and multishot’s extra burst.
Given my options for rank 3, I’ve chosen ranger so I’d have steady aim up before firing off my Musk skills. Besides barrage should still be a decent burst at higher levels (is it?), and I was wondering whether critical shot could be used as a single target filler instead of split arrow (in need of testing).
My R7-R8 choice for Musketeer, instead of the more usual Rogue+Mergen (following iDreamy’s build path) would be to improve what I think scout 3 misses the most: some frequent single target bursts so it’s more viable at bossing as well. I just don’t think capture+flare shot and double damage barrage (with feint’s debuff) do it well enough given either how long capture’s CD actually is or the fact it’s that much harder to pull off against moving targets. With Musk, I’d have single target bursts available more often in case I keep meeting “tougher” targets (say high HP elites or not-too-crowded bosses).
So what do you guys think? Would it be viable and worthy it in the long run to build such a char?
Do you have any better suggestions on an all-rounder PvE archer with good dungeon/missions/fields farming times?
Thanks in advance, hope you guys can enlighten me with your ToS expertise.
Peace!
