Yet Another Archer Aproval Thread

Class and Rank Archer
#1

Hey everyone ! I just launched myself into the game, played for a couple of hours with archer only to discover that reclassing was not possible in this game and that i should work towards a build from the start. As such I did a little bit of research and came up with this build : ( Was hard though, very few recent infos )

I had already gone for A1>R1, wanted to go Falconer route and preferred R3 just because I started with Ranger without thinking and heard R3 is the most viable option. Rogue for the Feint+Barrage combo. Though I believe either this or R3 could become a Scout for some stealthy fun. Or even something else. Then Falconer and Musketeer are only there cause they seem fun, especially Falconer. Musketeer mainly cause it suits me more than Cannoneer.

I’m going 100% towards PvE, PvP doesn’t seem to be very interesting at the moment and if it comes to it, I’ll just make a new PvP character.

In a nutshell, my question is, is this build viable ? Does it have any critical flaw or could be improved in any ways ? This is not a very researched build, I just threw what seem interesting, maybe there are synergies I missed ? I’m currently pretty sure about going Falconer>Musketeer but am really lost on the in between (A1>R1>?>?>?>F1>M1)

Thanks a lot for your help ! And sorry to add another team build to the hundreds currently on the forum. Guess everyone is scared of the no reclass.

  • I heard Ranger was nerfed ? Is it still a good idea to go C3 then ? Would C1/C2 suffice ? Or would it even be better to just create a new character and go A2 or QS1 ?

Your build is fine
do not get critical shot
expend your points on high anchoring/time bomb arrow(it does extra damage against plate armor)

#3

idk about fletcher here
you could go another class(archer C2, Rogue C1, Scout C1)

#4

Yep i was thinking either Rogue for Feint+Barrage Shot combo or Scout for Stealthy Snipe. True that fletcher is not that important as i have Falconer and Scout for AOE.

#5

Thanks ! I invested 1 in Critical, 1 in Anchor and will probably invest the rest in time bomb but at worst i’ve got that skill reset potion

#6

Do you think replacing R2+3 by A3 would be better ?
And do you think a 2:2 STR:DEX is enough ?
I’m a bit hesitant, i do not care at all about PvP and am looking to build a fun and powerful PvE build.

  • Is Ranger C2/C3 still good with the nerfs or do you believe i should go C1 and Archer C3/Smthing else ? I’m a bit lose on that .

Thanks for your answers by the way ! Sorry for the rain of questions.

If you want pve just go Ranger C3, with archer C2 you would have multishot which is nice for single target damage and swift step evasion and crit rate
also Fletcher is really good at pve
sapper too, there a lot of options
3:1 str dex is enough(and some points on con)
3:1:1 str dex con

#8

I see thanks ! Well then I think I’ll be switching to full STR for a while. I’ll be going Ranger 3 and will then see what i choose between Rogue and Archer 2. Will depend on my mentality at that moment. Maybe Archer is a better idea as Rogue 1 is not that good. Well, except if barrage+feint is just that good.

#9

With the more I level up and gain good gear, i start to doubt the point of picking falcon for its circle.

As archer you get access to some strong items that boost your AOE ratio, effectively making falcon useless outside of dungeons.

Right now i have Vubbe Fighter gauntlets, that gives you 2 AOE ratio, later you can get a pair of gladiators band, each gives you 1 AOE ratio, this makes it 4, and lets you AOE with your multi shot as much as you want.

I would just go the classic A1>R3>F3 in your case.

#10

Thanks for your insight ! Well, i must admit I’m mostly taking it because it seems fun. Going with only 3 different classes seems a bit boring (to me)

#11

Fair enough, although i suggest pairing falcon with Cannoner, as you can AOE the entire screen with cannon blast + circle, tones of fun.
