@@Chezuget I agree! I really appreciate your video it helped a ton and I'm now an archer main.. bye bye guardian. Guardian was all I've ever played but was so slow 😭 archer seems really mobile and I'm really enjoying it. I'll be watching your video over and over so I can get used to the class. Just need to find the scarecrows you used in the video 🙏 where abouts were they? I'm 295/282 GS
I don't usually comment, but i really enjoyed your guide. First time playing archer and there's NOTHING on the internet. Also what are the cosmetics you're using if you don't mind sharing :D
Do you have any special graphics settings that make the bow glow clearer? Im on remastered graphics and barely see the Duskherald glow as bright as in your video :D
hmnn, dnt think so. But i have gamma all the way down. and the dye i use for the glow is valencia dye...the last metalic ones. Those give that shiny glow.
I am looking already class for next season. Most classes don't have such a deep and up to date guides, damn are archers lucky for your existance! Enjoyed the guide a lot, reminds me of some good old WoW guides i used to spend so much time looking at
Really appreciate all the insight, it has helped me greatly so far. I am finding it difficult difficult to regain mp while grinding, seems like sometimes my normal great bow attack doesn't always get the mp back. I should probably enhance a few skills to get some mp back. Any tips for this? It's slowing down my grind. Thanks
Use earth shatter off cooldown...and your mp issues should be done. The greatbow lmb...cn be slow, using it to regain mana kinda slows u down. but when u like under 50% mana, jst earthshatter a pack...theyll die and u get full mana again to continue. Earthshatter is a pretty good skill...dnt forget about it :)
Also doable. However many archers prefer using the radiant explosion with the t3 add ons from arrow explosion active already, hence the priority. radiant hits harder. If u want, u cn even put -15dp addon on arrow explosion and get best of both worlds, but u give up the t3 attack speed addon. Its preference. Archer is very fluid, each playstyle is very similar in terms of dps output. Go nuts and tweak to your hearts desire :)
:) am so sorry. To be honest i didnt think bout that. Am jst so used to the game being pc only...forgot bout console. Will be making a follow up vid of tips and all animation cancels...ill consider this in that one. Thanks
you dont need any of the Secondary Skills at all except for maybe Ensare. the rest are junk. Also PA Removed the +30% crit for 10 seconds buff from Ensnare and put it on Gaping Darkness. In an attempt to make Gaping Darkness viable which it isn't.
What does give Ensnare 30% crit hit rate buff? I'm quite new to the game and I don't see my Ensnare giving this, is it changed or I'm missing somethign yet? I'm lvl 59
Hey, So about a week ago a new patch released. Crit buff was moved to "Gaping Darkness". now replace ensare with gaping darkness, its much faster to execute for the same buff application
at 289ap with almost full BIS Crystals, i still cant one shot kratuga need 2 skills for a pack...Its a class issue :( Succ Guardian at 249ap with tuvala gear one shots kratuga Mobs. We need more buff on bursty skills unfortunately. In kratuga am stuck at around 72k trash with agris and L2 scroll, cnt make higher no matter how hard i try. :(
@@kevinreyhan209 prebuffing in kratuga dnt make much of a diff, cz i find u actually waste time, with like the ensare ...unless u animation cancel it. Thoug maybe i am jst lazy :) Easy prebuff is glissade, i do that on cooldown, easy 12 ap...then a quick RMB if i cn fit it in for the 8ap.
@@Chezuget so may I know what U usually do when grinding kratuga ? what skill rotation did you use for example you need 2-3 skills for every pack, idk what to cycle and I think it hinder my grinding speed.
I would say medium APM. You can tryhard by adding things in combos making it very high apm...but if u use quickslots and remove some things in combos its nt that high. The combo in this vid...is fairly medium apm... I dnt use extra skills cz i grind long hours. I prefer to watch the health of my hand :) So i jst do bare minimum, and it works for me :)
@@Chezuget can't complain about anymore. the change is really great. need to get use to it. I'm use to be cast spear for super armor and healing hp. =(
Unfortunately it does get harder in endgame cz the actions per minute starts to rise. Is it easy...nt really, i would say medium to very hard. Is it good pve...Yes, very good...above average. But once u stick to it, and get the muscle memory its jst too good :) Archer combat is like a never ending dance :) Theres always a skill to use, and they all connect to each other. Best archer in any mmo i hv ever played, no dps downtime really
I no longer pvp. With my ping i might as well assume i have zero protections. Even in pve i get cced in super armor...imagine pvp. But theres archer pvp guides out there...they are still relevant. Because if i made a pvp guide...it wont be from experience but from research. I dont wanna misinform anyone :) 2 years ago when i used to pvp, game was more balanced and ping friendly...classes werent as fast as they are now and protections were nt as prevalent too...at the moment i actually cnt pvp :(
could you make a trash loot video in some spots for example in centaurs where mobs are low hp which will be fast cleared and one other video where mobs are a little tanky in orcs for example to see how that ocombo u have shown play out.
Already have one video for orcs on the channel, a one hour run. But ill be uploading a better one soon. Archer isnt best for centaurs though...centaurs is mainly about fast mobility like nova and musa, nt about dmg. But ill do a 1 hr run there n post the vid.
@@Chezuget ye because before u could just spamm marked bloom and it was honest profit but now is a little different . tbh like something has to be done with mobility with archer it feels like slow but stylish af
@@xylope3384 Archer here still grinding centaurs, is still a strong and fast clearer there, just a little bit more work since ur not just spamming marked bloom. Just gotta position a little more so u can take out two big mobs with marked bloom and spear sylvia flow combo. Also the flow of luthagron's is amazing aoe to clear huge straight line packs so that makes up for not being able to spam marked. Mobility wise we 100% got better and faster since last rework since our meteor dive range got increase and faster animation on our mobility skills. Archer is overall 9/10 on any grindspot so if u wanna grind as archer it's honestly S tier on most areas just a little high apm and squishy so making sure ur combos all protected is important. 👍Archer gang ftw
@@xylope3384 30K/hr with agris and lvl 1 item loot scrolls. Not the best but still good along with the other caphras/centaur belts/sealed black magic stones that drop along with it.
@@Chezuget i would call it the skill review rather than a guide of any sort. Really could add up at least grinding spots where the archer shines, not to mention the regular skill rotations and such (good old scating why not?). Also we have a new mobs to grind with lantern thing so... Actually this type of "guide" is on the first link in google. Excatly with all the secondary skills being locked. So i'm not really sure if this guy really did this content from his own gameplay perspective.
Hi i have some questions. When i certain skill it automatically swap weapons. Is it okay or should i block it somehow? Also i have a feeling that i use some skills, they hit and deal no dmg i mean i use skill and it looks like its hitting but deal no dmg idk how to explain it. Like hitbox is broken or something. Sometimes i feel like i dont have control over character i press combo and he does something different, swap weapons all the time etc
Yeah some skills auto swaps you to crossbow and vice versa, this is an intended mechanic and u hv to use that to your advantage to swap over to preawakening and awakening. For skills missing, maybe it has to do with accuracy...enable Miss effect in options (General>show/hide>miss effect) to see whether its accuracy based. Lastly...this is one of the reason archer aint so easy as people think...You have to muscle memory to play this class in endgame...its not an easy class and it takes longer than other classes to perform the same. Example...a lot of people complain that skills displace their character and moves them around...but after ull get used to it and start using those displacements as repositions. It makes the class play like a dance :) Good luck though.
We really need a gunner class but this is the closest we have rn, if they do gunner i want like a pistols and spells with a magical gauntlet or claw and then ofc some kind of rifle for awakening or something like that where he uses magic to fuel the weapons
Dont know about the claw...they cn mess it up to make it a melee awakening hehe. i prefer Dual pistols succession and rifle + pistols awakening :) Just start BLASTING! xd
@@Chezuget i got the idea from nero from dmc but yea i think it should mostly be ranged but i feel like every gun class has dual pistols lol but totally fair
@@Kiandough Corsair is not a gunner...Yeah i said it, sue me! Its Not even close hehe. Its like that meme of "Mom i want a gunner" Mom: We have a gunner at home....Gunner at home >> "Corsair"
No no no. the 50% accuracy u see on the skill is a buff applied to ONLY that skill, its jst to make sure its applied at 100% rate to any enemy. The debuff it gives is a little bit of damage overtime, and -10% movespeed for only 5 sec in pvp

Archer Crit rate was moved to gaping darkness instead of Ensare. So jst replace that in your combos for same effect.
that really sucks tbh, darkness feels clunky
