Currently i have two options.
- A2 -> QS3 -> SR2
- A3 -> QS3 -> Musketeer
The stats i’m playing for is Str 1 : Dex 2.
Which build offers higher DPS?
and is my stats distribution feasible?
with that stat you will have some fun in the game until you realize “oh my god i have no con” and you get 1 shotted by monstrous enemies like flying pumpkins.
I am currently A2 - QS3 - SR2 and let me tell you that taking SR2 means that you are hoping that there will be a buff or that sr3 will make the class great. SR2 offers very little asides from lvl 10 retreat shot and concentrated fire. The new skill wild shot sucks a lot. But retreat shot is a fantastic AOE given the right conditions (wall hugging).
Oh. Damn. Sounds like HP is great issue. I will take note of that.
The reason why I am interested in SR is because the ability to mount a pet which will provide additional stats.
HP issues for SR is no different than HP issues for all archer classes. In fact SR probably have the least HP issues because 25% of their companions HP adds on to yours. What this means is that you can go to the companion trader and train your companions HP stat up (becomes more and more expensive the more you upgrade the stat) and that can be a substitute to an extent.
I’d go A2>QS3>Falconer>Musketeer
Not in that order but overall that’s what i’d do, you get a huge benefit from the falconers circling skill.
really?
I’m currently a2 ranger 2 rogue 1 sr 1 but im super happy with the class.
Retreat shot is amazing. while its down feint+barrage does nice damage. All in all im pretty sure other classes are good as well or may even be better but currently doing 190 dungeons i feel i contribute alot to damage and not feel lackluster even compared to wiz3 ele3. Sure walls is important/must have but ET has enough walls =)
Other than that just looking at PvE I think that QS3 would have probably been the better build to contribute more single target damage.
But i just love rogue for capture in pvp/gvg.
Do you really get 25% companion hp? never really looked at it.
Yes the 25% hp thing is true you’ll see the same info on other threads. On a side note you also share a bit of def and evasion (10% on def 8% on evasion).
This got me thinking. but stats wise, i think 2 str:1 dex is pretty optimal for archer. I will pump additional stats into con
