Which path to take?

Class and Rank Archer
#1

I can’t quite decide which class path to go.

I exclusively play PvE, mostly solo, no interest in PvP. I love skill spamming and defeating large groups of mobs at once.

I’m currently Ranger C2, and mostly spam Critical Shot, Oblique Shot and Barrage, with some auto-attacks afterwards, depending on mob size. (Nevellet Quarry is awesome)

(I pretty much never remember to activate the buffs. They eat sp I can put into attack skills and don’t last long enough. Are they really worth it?)

I know I’ll go Falconer, but not sure in which combination.

Archer > Ranger > R2 > R3 > 1? > Falconer > 2?

For 1 I’m considering:

  • Rogue (Feint + Barrage is a good combination I heard?)
  • Archer 2 (I don’t have any strong feelings for this… seems kind of lackluster? I guess maxing Multishot would be good though I rarely use it. Maybe more so in combination with Circling?)
  • Hunter (I -know- the AI sucks and it’s more of a PvP and CC class, but playing with the companion is tempting and the outfit is cute)

For 2 I’m considering:

  • Falconer 2 (for increased damage and effectiveness on all falcon skills. But are the ranger and falconer skills enough to make good use of Circling?)
    -Cannoner (guns are cool, but kind of don’t fit the character I was preparing to play… but they have great AoE skills, right?)

Also, does Circling affect Barrage?

Anyone there that can help?

I would go Archer c2.
Multishot with high level attribute will melt bosses and Swift Step level 10 is pretty good.
Rank 7 is totally up to you and your preferences :smiley:

Edit: I forgot,you can also go archer c1>ranger c3 >fletcher
Better option than going hunter imo

Above is a link to my build, take a look see what you think :slight_smile:

#5

I don’t want to go full Fletcher, but I guess Fletcher 1 sounds like a good alternative too.

How does Fletcher C1 fair compared to Archer C2?

Edit: Also, Fletcher’s skills cost some money/materials, right? Does that get very expensive?

#6

The only thing worth taking in archer C2 is Swift Step 10/10 which in my opinion doesn’t warrant enough to take it, there are other options such as Fletcher C2 then on to Cannon or Musk listed on my guide :slight_smile:

#7

I really want to go for Falconer though. Maybe Falconer C2 or Cannoneer.

Archer C2 also has 10/10 Multishot going for it I suppose.

So the choice for me is between Archer C2 or Fletcher C1. Is Fletcher C1 worth it? What about the costs for the skills?

#8

Someone posted a good falconer build here: Thoughts on build?

There was a slight change I made in the comments

#9

Finding interesting builds isn’t the problem. I have about 6 tabs open with builds that more or less interest me. The problem is deciding which of the paths/builds that interest me work best.

With that link you’d be recommending Archer C2 and Falconer C2 then I suppose?

#10

For a falconer yes

#11

Cool, thanks! Maybe someone else can give more input?

#12

A2 into falconer c1 is pretty solid. I’m going that path as well.

I don’t go falconer c2 though. It’s a pretty bad class.

#13

Why so?

Sonic Strike looks fun and maxing out Pheasant and Circling would be nice I can imagine?

Or would Cannoneer be a better alternate? What rank 7 are you going for?

#14

Falconer C2 doesn’t add much and pale in comparison to the r7 classes. I’m still undecided between M/C.
