TL/DR
Sneak hit >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> swift step IF you are attacking from behind
Sneak = FLAT + x % CRITICAL CHANCE
Swift = +25% of YOUR critical RATE. ( so it uses your ATUAL CRITICAL RATE into consideration. )
So what do you think about Archer into ranger 3 rouge then schwarz?
Itās already been proven that sneak hit is not flat critical chance.
OK duely noted thanks I just have no idea how schwarz Reiter works xD That being said a lot of the rogue skills canāt be used while mounted so take note of that.
I just thought of something.
Can you use fletcher skills while mounted?
Cause since your pets stats get added to yours you could go all in with hundreds of str in it and get insane damage if you went schwartez rider after 2 fletcher.
Unless im wrong about that.
Yes you can!
And i canāt decide between Fletcher 2 > S.Reiter or Rogue 1 > S.Reiter 2
or Rogue > Scout > Cannoneer 
They arenāt using that Critical Chance formula anymore i heard. Atleast not in iToS.
huh?
Where? lol?
Im 99% sure that you are wrong.
I did the tests myself btw.
lol.
source? SS? where u saw that?
Thats awesome.
Then technically you can go high dex and still have insane str if you combine your pets str when mounted.
Like 300 crit chance and like 400+ str would be the best build ever o.O
Of course you would need to farm an insane amount of silver but its easily the most powerful combo with high str with massive crits o.O
The thing is, that formula isnāt an official one. It was theorized by the Savior @Noah_ , through his own experiments and a few others. While that formula may work for theorycrafting for now, we will never know if the official formula changes through patches or if this formula stays consistent after lvl 200.
Like i said, i -HEARD- they werenāt using the formula anymore, only a rumour.
You guys are super knowledgeable so i just wanted to ask.
What do you think of something like A1 > R3 > F2 > Sch1?
Since your pets stats get added to your own when mounted and you went pure str with yourself having mostly dex wouldnt that combo make the damage far higher then just F3?
Unless im wrong about something >.> it said ingame that the pets stats get added to your own while mounted.
Just wondering ^.^
Sorry but I have 0 experience with Scharzer Reiter, hopefully someone more experienced can shed some light.
Can you elaborate more on this?
Are you sure about this?
Iām Ranger c3 + Rogue and I crit every single HIT/barrage/spiral arrow when iām attacking from behind the boss/mobs. Iām 100% sure i wouldnāt crit like that with swift step attribute.
I really donāt know why people think swift step attribute is so superior than everything in the archer tree really. To me Multishot 10/10 is even more important than this attribute tbh.
A2-R2 buffs provide more damage for Fletcher skills than A1-R3 buffs, by about a 10% margin. And youāre mostly going to only be using Fletcher skills when you hit F3.
