My Archer build

Ai's Archer

Personal created build. Completely glass cannon build that can self prorate with aspd from gsw and high damage. Can go for less suicide but will sacrifice efficiency.

This is my first build posted please give feedback if i made any mistakes.

 

Charge Combo
Impact > Cross Fire (Smite) > Decoy (Save) >Meikyo Shisui (Smite)
Attack Combo
Kairiki Ranshin > Cross Fire (Smite)

If u use smith on atk combo, why use smith on charge combo?
I think be better like

Charge Combo
Cross Fire > Decoy (Save) >Meikyo Shisui (smith)

Its the same but shorter n needs not impact. Impact is risky on minibos

 

idk if this is true but i believe you need Smite on both charge and kill Combo. also, with impact being the start of ur combo, you can look around yourself to be clear of any mobs before casting. its much easier to avoid mobs like that then say the snipe combo, with Impact being near the end

 

Can't have same tag on buff and attack cast. If they are the same the attack cast will ignore the combo tag

 

ok thanks ill change it on the guide

 

smith on carge then non smith on atk
Non smith on charge then smith on atk

It has same result ^_~

 

Your build with high agrro , i not sure you can charge cf successfully , however , gsw decrease ele resis so ele boss ( expect natural ele ) can kill u easy with blue aoe or shark, 1 more think , quick aura give u a lot of aspd so gsw is not neccesary

 

Gsw reduce damage resistance (all incoming damage except selfdamaging debuff like poison and burn). Full stack gsw will kill anyone.
Gsw and quick aura both give aspd but gsw give motion speed. Which is better for casting skill.

 

correct, i selected gsw quick aura and kairiki all for this build because it's a Suicide build. its similar to a hb, you get hit you die. also I'm able to spam that snipe combo at a ridiculously fast rate. another upside to having all that aspd is I'm able to quickly self prorate if i need to

 

Not quite hb has significantly less penalty on GSW. I would recommend ditching gsw and use reflex as main opener then when u want to cast attack cf use kairiki as opener because mp won't be a problem for you.

 

Gsw will kill even hb. For hb, the dmg incoming become multiplied around x3 (8k dmg become 24k, the laser attack from lyark master specialist).
For non hb i think its around x4~x5 multiplier.

That means, assuming hb has 7k hp pool (some vit here), he can be killed with a mere 2,5k dmg or less.

I assume this build only have 3k hp or less due to lack of iconos (i assume he took survival skill for hp). Boss/minibosses at lvl ~150 or even lower has high dmg for almost every attack. Even without gsw he will 1shot it by boss, combine with kairiki, he will die even when boss/miniboss hasnt done casting his skill.
This build is very very very situational and highly dependent to pt to hold aggro and positioning the boss.
But there is a problem here... He said he use gsw, so i assume he want to spam either snipe or auto attack. Autos are fine, but with spaming snipe+buffs+decoy+cf... The aggro will turn to him really fast... And the enemy will chase him... And with gsw and kairiki on...

He will need gsw to increase motion speed of "struggle" to lower the revive time.

 

i believe at 3 stks it is -50% resistances if hb equiped, and if not hb its -110%. and yes either way you die in 1 hit. also with a good enough tank, you can limitlessly spam the combo and not gain aggro. ill post a vid later of my and my friend lvling together.

 

also i didnt take any survival trees so im at 1.1k hp but im borrowing my friedns fc arm that has orn. i dont reccomend getting any hp items or skills due to you being stuck at 1hp and ideally have 3 stk gsw at all times

 

Its actually - 50% per stack for hb (around that number, forgot the exact number) in total of extra 150%dmg from gsw+100%original dmg. It equal to 250% dmg dealt to you (the number might be wrong).
This is fun build, i agree. Kinda hard when the party all dps though.

Yes, you are right. With kairiki and gsw, dont bother getting any hp or refining the armor.

Ill wait for your vid. Seems fun to try.

 

and as for the getting aggro bit, i forgot to add dark knight amulet to the specials, i have that equiped so that might help

 

No Offence Its super similar to the one I posted before, mine doesnt have GSW

 

Im sorry if my build looks similar to others, however i never looked up bow builds on the forums. only looked at arrow mage build, refine guides, and statting formulas on this site. as for the combos and gear and skills, they are all generic because bows use pretty much the same things. i just like gsw because snipe spam is quite fun ahaha
