Any criticism would be greatly valued
Ranger C1 is useless, it have to be C3 to be worth, Go for Sapper C2 instead or A1 > R3 > F3
This is blatantly false, Ranger is amazing at C1 and ranger C3 is not worth going up to spiral arrow is meh damage with way too long of a CD.
Archer2 Ranger1 Scout1 is better generally in all aspects of the game than sapper1 though, but if you’re thoroughly committed to sapper + fletcher then go Archer2 Sapper2 Fletcher3
was thinking since claymore was % dmg based that it would keep scaling with me, which was my reasoning behind sapper 1.
its awful in practice because it consumes an item, causing you to lag with more people on the screen.
or change archer 2 for ranger 2? just for ease of leveling and a bit of aoe
Ranger2 pales in comparison to Archer2, Ranger1 is all you’ll ever need since the damage between level 5 and level 10 barrage is unnoticeable.
You’ll probably get a much higher dps increase by just going A2 for the crit buff and keeping Ranger at rank1. Multishot 10 is also a super strong skill, comparable or even stronger than barrage even if you have +3 aoe attack ratio.
So if you went Archer1 Ranger2 what you get is:
Multishot 5 (6 hits, 12 total)
Barrage 10 (5 hits, +150 damage, 15 total)
Steady aim 10 (15% damage, +100 damage, which is awful, only gives you +5% damage)
So in a rotation, you’ll do about 27 hits with barrage + multishot.
While Archer2 Ranger 1 gives you:
Multishot 10 (11 hits, 22 total)
Barrage 5 (5 hits, 15 total)
Steady Aim 5 (10% damage, +100 damage)
Swift Step (+25% crit rate)
So in a dps rotation, yo’ll do about 37 hits with barrage+multishot.
Since you’re going to end up with over 1000+ damage from Strength, Gear, and Weapon damage alone, the +150-225 extra damage is literally unnoticeable on barrage 10, but the +10 extra hits on multishot equates to +10000-15000 damage at the very least (depending on your crit gear as well)
what about aoe? i’m currently A1 > R2 if my priority is getting more aoe dps rotaion, is going for R3 better than going for A2? planning to go fletcher or cannoneer btw
and @topic
why did you go ranger 1? for easier leveling? and isn’t sapper C2 a much better choice over R1 for the broom trap?
Multishot is an AoE skill, so is flareshot from Scout c1.
I also went Ranger1 because Barrage is literally too good to pass up, it just does not scale properly with more ranks into it so I’d rather keep it at level 5.
The only reason you should ever go rank2 into something is to acquire a skill or attribute that is not available in rank1. Getting a minor increment in performance in pre-existing rank1 skills is a waste of a rank.
