I’m currently looking at options and the concept of SR seems interesting to me, but looking at its skills makes me wonder how are they gonna deal damage.
The only skill with low cd is Limacon(0cd), but the damage doesnt look too good and it loses hard to fletcher’s crossfire which is also an aoe skill. Retreat Shot, Wild Shot, and Concentrated Fire seems like good damage, but they have really high cooldown with no overheat. We also only get 30 skill points for these skills so we cant max all of them.
The only upside I can think of is being able to utilize Rogue’s Sneak Hit effectively with their high mobility, but it still seems hard to compete with R3 Fletcher who has immense dps potential with magical arrow or Cannoneer who has crazt aoe. I’ve read here and there that SR is not bad, and I would really appreciate it if someone can enlighten me on this.
SR is very wanted for earth tower because of its amazing damage
I’m making a dot build that will reach rank 6 this night or the next. So, take this with a grain of salt but this is what I see in SR:
- great mobility for a DoT build
- retreat shot is a great AoE skill, while we also have an “improved version of multishot” for single target
- gets some stats based on the companion stats
- gets bonus hit chance from an attribute
From what I see, SR is more of a class that improves previous solid choices, instead of being auto-sufficient. Also, the best skills are multihit, so it scales a lot from buffs and items.
They get bonus stats from companion? I can’t seem to find this info anywhere…
You gain following bonus based on your companions stats:
25% Bonus hp
10% def/mdef
8% evasion
Example,if your companion has 20k hp, then you get 5k bonus hp while mounting
Someone please correct me if im wrong.
Would getting SR2 be worth it? Canoneer seems like a way better option for rank7. What goodies can SR2 bring?
People overrated retreat shot but forget the rest of the class.
Wildshot is a lackluster, Concenrate shot is some kind of 2nd multi shot , the knockback ability is crap and the 0 cd abiliy is weak, might as well spam crit shot.
You got 10/10 retreat shot, which is sometimes annoying to use, its strong yes…on 40 cd.
U sure u want to spend 2 ranks for 1 strong AOE ability? and tunnel vision on earth tower?
Grab canonner… if u want AOE…
Cannoneer definitely one of the top tier archer classes up there with musketeer and fletcher.
