Which Of These Ranger Class Paths Offer The Best DPS?

Class and Rank Archer
#1

My current build has around 20 con, 30 spr and over 100 dex with no str atm.

I made this to be able to get the class that i would enjoy the most but that isn’t weak in dps since you cant change classes and i prefer getting it right on the first try if possible.

Heres the class paths and i personally prefer something akin to a burst damage aoe with high dps if that makes sense.

Archer 3 > Ranger 3 > Musketeer 1

Archer 2 > Ranger 3 > Schwartzer Rider 2

Archer 2 > Ranger 3 > Rogue 1 > Schwartzer 1

Archer 1 > Ranger 3 > Schwartzer 2 > Musketeer 1

Archer 1 > Ranger 3 > Schwartzer 2 > Fletcher 1

Archer 1 > Ranger 3 > Schwartzer 3

Archer 1 > Ranger 3 > Fletcher 3

I don’t plan on pvp much so don’t factor that in since ill just make a pvp only build with a new one if i really wanted it. Also Archer seems to suck unless you have c3 which was why i maxed ranger. I’m not to keen on fletcher because of the extreme costs but in end game that might not even be a factor. Atm my favorite one is with sch 2. I do plan on doing like 50 - 100 strength come end game for the crit attack but for now its pure dex which i have found lets me clear hoards easily.

#2

since you want ranger 3 on all of your build i guess the third one is the best but instead of fletch 3 i might get something else.

#3

Like what?

Just going all on fletcher seemed like the best for it.

And its ranger cause Archer C1 > Ranger C3 is current class lol.

I didn’t really see the archer being worth getting for c2 because it feels like end game it would have to little damage.

#4

I like the third patch but i prefer c1 archer -> c3 ranger and then take c1 rogue at rank 5
Why? Cause all the rogues skill really sysnergy with Reiter, 70% crit rate from behind? Oh boi those bosses will have a real trouble.
The stats for me is 100~120 str(rogue’s vendetta skill +25 str), 40 con and the rests to DEX
Advice pls?

#5

No experienced player has any good explanation of which would be the best and why D:?

#6

buy sp pots, spam spam spam spam spam skills.

#7

Archer 2 ranger 2 Fletcher 3 will provide more DPS than a1 r3.

By a good margin too.

#8

@sudonim7 Is there anyone who has actually done this and can confirm by getting easy boss cubes? Cause Ive only seen theorycrafting so far. :frowning: Practice>paper.

Also is the 25% increase an added +25% crit chance OR does the critical chance stat value get increased by 25%? Cause theres a huge difference bewteen those 2.

#9

The last one.

We’re not talking about the best one out of all of them in general for any situation in-game. Talking about damage per second wise.

#10

So best one as in burst damage? O.o I thought most people wanted great dps just because of world bosses.

A class that higher DPS will come out on top (maybe not against quest/dungeon bosses).

#11

No one has time to create multiple characters and level them all to rank 7 just to test different builds and stat allocations for comparison, you’ll just have to trust the “paper”.

#12

The last one
also schwarzer reiter is a rank 6 class

#13

It’s a critical rate increase, not chance; so it would be the critical chance stat value +25%.

#14

My path is Archer 1 > Ranger 3 > Scout 1 > Falconer > Cannoneer

Archer / Ranger has AOE and Single target skills with regular CD.
Scout for utility (Very good for soloing dung and rush party with tons of magic mobs that u can’t evade)
Falconer mainly for utility with his circling
Cannoneer AOE with short cd.

Fletcher 3 path It’s also good with 0 CD skills but u have to carry weight problem for making arrows.

#15

Would depend how you build your stats as STR gives carry weight

#16

True.

I just prefer that kinda face melting burst damage that lets me clear easily and move out of the way of everything without feeling like im losing damage.

#17

I have notice that with this, maybe its more practical to go with Rogue than A2, since where are talking about CRITICAL CHANCE.

Critical Chance Formula
Critical Chance = (Critical Rate - Critical Resist) * (42 / Character Level)

Sneak Hit description:
Temporarily increases your Critical Chance when attacking enemies from behind. 70% chance at 5, 90% chance at 15

Attribute on Swift Step description:
Increases your critical rate by 5% per attribute level when [Swift Step] is active.

Of course this depends on your future plans but i think its more practical since you can invest it all in STR/CON instead of dex.

PROS:
more stat to str/cON
good at party, if they can tank they you hit?
can do feint + barrage combo with R1

CONS:
you can only crit when you are behind the enemy

Pros:
can pump STR/CON instead of DEX

What do you think guys? @Floki

#18

Well you’d need to get at least 8 levels in Sneak Hit (+attribute) to secure 100% up-time on it, so you’d need at least Rogue C2 for that. There’s a 10-20s downtime if Sneak Hit is at level 5.

Some Dex is still good for evasion, so I wouldn’t count it out straight away, and Swift Step gives evasion as well, so it’s not just the +25% critical rate. (though most people take it for the crit rate buff)

At the end of the day it’s personal preference I guess. If you took Ranger then the Feint/Barrage combo is pretty legit.

#19

Sneak hit atribute gives more 10s duration, so its 60s duration on lvl 5…

Rogue still need some dex, so you cant go full str anyway.

Swift Step is not +25% critical chance, sneak hit is +70% crt chance at level 5, but enemys resist even sneak hit critical chance.

Its up to you.

#20

If Swift step isnt +25% crit chance then what is it exactly? This is the question that I’ve been looking to answer this whole time because it’s gives the decisive answer between Archer c2 and rouge c1 (besides the evasion bonus witch should not be overlooked) I have heard many arguments to sneak hit be " cRIT chance gets decreased by crit defense late game so don’t botger" but comparing 70% to 25% is no contest even with the downtime in DPS factoring in positioning.

As far as the original poster ( yes even when you reply to things you should still help the original poster if you can, it’s called forum etiquette children) I actually prefer Archer>ranger3>rogue2>Schwarz, no this build isn’t good but the synergy is amazing for hit and run tactics. First off mount gives you bonus HP and mobility to allow you to reposition for sneak hit much MUCH easier and not die in one hit, plus with rouge c2 you get evasion and lynchmirter witch allow you to support your party and make yourself safe for feint+barrage combo ( when you close in for barrage you will have mount and evasion buffs with sneak hit (witch is the best of Swift steps 2 attribute bonuses crit chance and evasion) concentrated fire and sneak hit is a no brainier and all this with the highest level of steady aim and you can easily swap between dagger and pistol subweapons on cooldown .Plus you have capture shenanigans.

Major cons are your DPS and damage of witch I don’t know if you’d have enough of (please please correct me on this as much of this is theory crafting I don’t have schwarz circle 1 but I hear it’s retreatshot or bust ) because of cooldowns also taking out barrage your one bedroom n one and aoe options are severely limited ,one on one you’ll only have multishot 5 and spiral arrow ( witch if you get to attribute 65 makes you a god apparently) witch has a high cooldowns and for aoe you have retreat shot ( I don’t have a schwarz personally so feel free to correct me ) but the bottom line is that besides the self preservation and the barrage synergy you are a utility DPS with not much value in parties. Great for solo tho
