What are the best way to play sapper now? Quarrel shooter? Can anybody post a build for what is working?
archer 2. Make sure to get heavy shot.
Can you post a build? What do you think of archer>qs>sapper>sapper>sapper>falconer and archer>qs>qs>sapper>sapper>sapper? What is the best stat to build?
Not interested in Sapper but just want to share some tips. Actually going QS before Sapper is not as bad idea as it would seem because Sapper’s Detonate Trap works with any summoned object, got it? But QS2 is meh… Falconer is underwhelming now (didn’t get it still but it is very lkely so) but is still worth spending a rank.
Edit: please correct me if I’m wrong but was Detonate fixed/changed a while ago so it now targets only traps and magic circles like heal/safety? A bit confused if I should just delete this comment…
Sapper 2 is all you need to use its strongest ability. (Broom Trap is love, Broom Trap is life)
With that you can play Archer 2 for the strong Swift Step Attribute, and you make up for Archer’s weakness in AoE’ing with Broom Trap easily. Then, choose whatever you wish after Sapper 2. For example, going sapper 3 to be a full time trapmaster, or Fletcher2 for its immense DPS.
I would say instead of falconer or schwarzer reiter, you could get: archer>quarrel shooter> sapper> sapper> fletcher> fletcher. Looks nice
So archer> archer> sapper > sapper > fletcher > fletcher? And for stat allocation? Spr? Dex?
And for skills, maybe something like this?
Detonate never worked with paviase/caltrops unfortunately, nor shield lob. Still works with any magic related skill that hangs around
QS is what you go for a PvP build, the stun on some shot gives time to set up traps. In pve it’s not worth carrying a crossbow over a 2H bow since they’re weaker on average basically all you’ll use is caltrops, although paviase can push enemies into stockades so can heavy shot, so you’re better with archer 2.
Your build looks good. Although claymore has a better reputation than it deserves. For what it costs the damage is pretty lacklustre. Collar bomb, on the other hand while short range. Is free to cast and pretty strong.
Thanks for the answers, what about stat allocation? spr? dex?
I personally went Archer -> Quarrel Shooter -> Sapper. Now, that might not seem like the best path, but Pavise and Caltrops work pretty well as a Sapper, since you get an extra trap(which can also provoke enemies), and a shield/pushing skill. As for stats, I went 1/1 str/dex with a little bit in spr to keep up with the rising sp costs, and it’s been okay for me so far.
