Strider broke off to be come 2 busted classes which actually demonstrated to me how busted strider actually was in DD1
True & real
Yeah this and Magic arched in DD1 was insane
@@acejupiter1777 Wayfarer would be combo of both
Painfully underrated class. Though NGL the Assassin (think it was called strider still in Dragons Dogma Online without the bow) has to be the best/ most fun iteration we've had yet. Though I will say I miss the classes from DDON the most.
@@WorldGoods im yet to get warfarer not like far enough gear wise 😅 I traveled to battahal early game man I was fighting for my life
Loved your Archer showcase! Def took a few of those tips and have been having a lot more fun!
armor? I will not. Live for the fashion, die for the fashion ;) . I'm Partially joking but, good info video for Archer.
Noxious arrow knocks dragons out of the sky every time too. Spiral arrow is crazy good in multiple scenarios. Dire arrow lets you pin slash immune mobs so you can stomp them to death with your feet. Exploding arrow like you said is insane. That’s my four.
Hydra bow is better than the dragon one at end game for some reason.
There’s a ring for more arrow damage the closer you are, it’s significant.
Pawns: fighter setup to tank, mage heals with some augment for magic damage, sorcerer for big aoe.
Dwarves blacksmithing is great for better knockdown potential.
Glad you like the best class in the game too ❤
On my archer I used drenching shot (water arrow) and my main pawn is a mage with ice affinity. My party would instantly freeze any enemy that was drenched, it's great to get in burst damage on the bigger enemies.
Drenching shot plus ice affinity from your Mage is super good too. Follow up with an explosive shot or two to the weak point. Hilarity ensues.
Started my first playthrough as an archer. I got up to vocation five then got bodied by a Minotaur. Promptly swapped over to thief, and immediately maxed that sucker out
Yep. Archer just isn't good in this game. Thief is the best at trash (especially with Smoke Shroud), the Sorcerer at bosses with Flare, and the Magick Archer is the middle-ground between the two. Archer, Fighter and Warrior are low tier in this. Also, Thief has the best movement in the game for traveling the map. Dodge step > basic attack > Dodge step is actually faster than dashing and uses no stamina. WTF Capcom?
I would love to see more build videos containing ultimate pawn setups for the same vocation. Pawns use abilities differently and their setups require experience running them to see how they act in combat. I would live to start seeing some more people who have tons of hours to play video games for a living, share their knowledge and opinions on the best way to setup an Archer Pawn… in this case.
Lol, as you were praising Spiral arrow your character shot only Steady shots 😂
I wish archer had the dodge move. Such a light class really should have a dodge to get out of danger fast
The core skill back step arrow should’ve been an actual weapon skill for easier use👌
Yeah I skipped the arrow skills because I didn't want to manage finding and buying special arrows but when I got the explosive arrows it made so many fights way faster than before. And to think I didn't use it for 30 hours lol
They're ridiculously strong 😅
They are only ridiculous until late game, unless you upgrade your bows to the appropriate levels, it's effect is weaker against drakes near the end.
Lets say that:
Vernworth - You aim for 300-400 points of attack.
Bakbattahl - You aim for 600-700 points of attack.
Volcanic Region - You aim for 800+ points of attack.
If you are off by 100-200 points, you will notice that the damage drop off is reduced so much, that a dragon will shrug off one 'vital point' explosive arrow hit for a small chunk of their current gauge (like 10% of a single gauge, instead of maybe 20-40%).
😃Thanks Bud
It is worth noting that pawns are really bad with Archer as far as I can tell. The Archer is all about hitting those weak points and pawns just don't do that.
Also note that getting Subtlety augment from Theif level 2 really helps (Also helps Mages and Sorcerers) as it means you don't get targeted much.
Please note though, that all your pawns will now get hit more often as the enemy attacks are now spread between 3 instead of 4.
Pawns can do well with archer my experience. Pawn AI is weird and you need to prune their abilities down to the ones the AI can utilize well . I've seen a pawn obliterate Chimeras with Tempest Shot after I knocked it down. They can use the special arrows as well if they have the equipped ability and you fill their inventory.
Thanks
Ooooo I haven’t even tried spiral arrow yet! But loving explosive arrow
I’m still in the first part of the game, and Spiral Arrow just eats health bars, especially if you land multiple of them on weak points. Chimeras, Cyclops, and Minotaurs literally fall in seconds with this attack. Definitely one of the best moves in the game
Now you just need to find pawns that only carries specific skills like Spiral Shot and Erupting Shot. Make all your party archers and give everyone 99 explosive arrows.
Any tips for doing steady aim, re: controls? I'm on PS5, so if I manually aim my right thumb is the one in charge of both moving the right control stick and tapping the necessary face button. Can be pretty tough to hit weak points on moving enemies this way!
There's a channel called Boomstick Gaming that has a DD2 vid with an alternate control scheme for controller.
Archer combos:
Front kick, jump front kick (stun them into a flip)
Loose, jump, front kick (arrow stun into flip)
Run sideways to dodge enemy attack, run into into enemy, jump, front
Run to dodge attack, loose arrow to slide and shoot, jump, front kick (dodges an attack, slide further dodges, retaliate with arrow, flip)
What do you mean by bones and how do you equip them?
Meanwhile, my sorc pawns basically one shot griffins and other large mobs.
Use the Slide attack in close range. Make sure you slide into an enemy then immediately do the jump attack then follow up with a snipe attack to the head and it's basically John Wick mode with a bow. Very flashy and looks BA.
"naked" thief on low life.....healthbar -> gone. Warfarer can plant explosive arrow + powder blast and gut and run off the weakpoint and then set off charge+explosive at the same time.
Thief and magick archer or archer combo with warfarer is really fun
what about augments? Do you have a list of what you are using?
stamina stamina stamina lol endurance and athleticism work good together, catalysis from sorc is good too for weakpoint damage just to name a couple.
Just a quick nite. The ring of proximity is like step 2 in the chain, nit all the way though..
I’m level 50 at her and I never scope in unless the enemy is “downed” or knocked so I can manually target the head. The rest of the time I auto shoot and activate the whirling arrow or explosive arrow. On controller/ps5
looking at this as a sorc, all i can think of is the omni man meme
Sorc often makes me think of Dagothwave "I'm a god, how can you kill a god, what a grand and intoxicating innocence"
“Archer” proceeds to use the magic archer maister as the title card. No mixed signal here,
IDK what happened, but i felt like my archer fell off a cliff damage wise later on. MA felt like it did more damage with its auto-aim sagitae or the ice skill, than my full charged maister skill into a weakpoint that locks you in place. The autos just do way more than my precision steady shots do and it made me sad. I was hoping to warfarer with both of them and have the ultimate range build and the bow just felt super weak outside of the poison.
Yes i noticed the same thing, I started as archer and then went magick archer and later swapped back and it felt like my shots were only tickling most mobs. It's almost as if the bow damage was broken or something and that's with the best bow bought at the volcano outpost. No idea how to fix it cause before it seemed to do a lot more damage
What about unmoored world gear?
My only gripe is that there is no hail of arrows
Man😂 you’re speaking my language. A rain of arrows should’ve been the meister skill. Instead we got a worse version of dire arrow.
i was thief at first but then went archer i love both classes
Same. But I'm a strider now. Half robin hood, half jack the ripper. Got me a staff to sling some spells if need be, too. Wish I knew about warfarer sooner. Didn't know it levels all your other classes at the same time. Kinda feel robbed since I already maxed the other 2 classes.
No bow skills would ever be OP for me other than Tenfold arrows with explosive arrows and 4x boost😢
Can someone make a mod to change the crosshair?
Everything but exploding shot needs to be seriously buffed, The miser skill is laughably terrible for a "1-shot" skill. Lets say your firing and hitting weakpoints, miser skill takes 3-5 secs to do 40% its hp bar, where normal shots do the same dmg in 3 or 4 shots with no stamina lose...so dps is way higher. For all the utility that bow has,it really needs to be stronger as a damage dealer.
Or or or or hear me out. Cast Frosthunter bolt on Magick Archer and kill every large enemy in the entire game in 3 shots or less. Any dungeon you walk into a couple fully charged Ricochet shots clear it entirely. Recovery arrow for full heals and revives at max range and the 4th slot can literally be whatever tf you want. No reason to play normal archer whatsoever
Sounds strong but kinda boring lol. I play to have a classic ranger fantasy, so just shooting normal arrows and bow is ideal before any gameplay perks. Also so satisfying shooting a little guy in the head with arrow sticking out of his head as he drops. Some people play classes for vibes rather than power.
@@Los_Leto I get that but the video creator constantly uses the term OP. it’s like dude …. I don’t think you understand what the word OP or Overpowered means… like at all
@@cht5001 Ah, true, haha I got ya
I am Archer too:), kick very good.) and close shoot too:) moveset
Every class is busted, this just isn't a hard game. I don't know what people where talking about pre release. It just has annoying aspects like limited fast travel. But actual difficulty is standard rpg fair. I actually wish i can take levels away to make the game harder. I wish there was a way to level vocations without gaining xp.
you can get another proximity ring in a cave in the elven area as well, no quest needed. Does anyone know if the damage stacks though?
Nice find! The damage seems to stack
What about Augments?
Explosive arrows are deadly
How is your map all lit up with no black spots?
NG+
New Game+
Meanwhile sorc presses meteoran and kills dragons in 30 seconds and most other bosses in 1 cast. Thief does pretty much the same
What armor set is all that in the beginning. Look like a sweet ranger. I need, so many UA-camr with stupid looking characters lol. Nice to see a legit archer main character looking Arisen.
Did he not mention augments?
Erupting shot, Erupting shot, Erupting shot.
I love playing as the magick archer but you can't snipe. I have max lvl'd all vocations and archer was the one I did find the most useful.
Sorcerer easily beats that by far. I can destroy 2 or even more healthbars at once with Augural Flare and spell save. The only difficulty is to get both Flares on the same spot.
I leveled archer tonmax straight out the gate and itnwas kinda slow going but there were very few situations where I had no real play (rock saurians XD)
The whirling arrow (spinny one) proved the best damage for stamina I saw when hitting a weakspot, and not using consumables
When i see archer in this game i m allways telling myself: "And then they discover Magick Archer" x'D
Magick Archer is strong but it's the most boring vocation to play
Medusa bow any good?
4x the exp yes till max level
cons insane stam usage
so SUBJECTIVE when people needs to add that little THE BEST CLASS,VOCATION,WEAPON ETC in GAME
but hey got love a little Elf girl going all Legolas style you know
Jump Kicking an enemy in the face leaping away and getting a headshot mid air is the best feeling ever in this game.
Deathly Arrow is not really for damage it is for knockdown.
True but deathly arrow to a knocked down enemy does massive dmg
@@cjloha91 not as much as Tempest or Erupting Shot would do though.
Tried archer. Felt weak and with no dodge, its kinda ass
SKILL ISSUES. archer got me thru 40 hours bro. its OP strong
Thief is way better and more fun imo.
The controls for archer on controller suck. Right bumper to aim… really? lol I guess that unsheathe button takes priority.
Not being able to remove the mouse acceleration and just using raw input in actually insane. What stupid idea is this??
Personally, while I do respect archer's damage potential I wouldn't consider it op, considering how weak you are if engaged in melee by aggressive monsters. Your jump kick repell is your only hope of survival and if you get interrupted mid-air you get knocked down, since your knock resistance is usually crappy and you just get destroyed... Thief on the other hand can just say f off and become immune to damage, while combining his dash + cutting wind he can be constantly behind enemies for critical hits, which is so dumb... I played both these vocations to rank 10 and while I did enjoy the archer, the thief is just objectively stronger for me.
That slide shot the Archer has looks to be immune to autolocking which is the biggest threat in a fight. Archer was never meant to be close range but the shotgun shot looks to be a great way to be closer if you want to be. I need to play around with it. I have just been having fun swapping and playing different classes on one one save.
@@minisithunknown5568 if that matters, I used my archer with my warrior arguments and I was just kicking the shit out of everything, but that is not how you are supposed to play it 😂
@@zyfryth I go by what you can do. Doing things only by what you are suppose to do is not how I play.
They did not do Archer justice, the range before crazy dmg fall off starts is the shortest out of every rDPS vocation, you pretty much stuck in melee to do any meaningful dmg. And the special shots that require you to buy special ammo for meanwhile Thief doesnt need to buy a anything fo the explosive powder bomb skill. Not to mention the special arrow shots are so incredibly boring, you drench a foe so someone else can exploit that weakness. . . My only gripe with the game is the Archer implementation, if I can hit a shot with a projectile that has a vertical fall off on a moving target from a mile away why should I be punushed damage wise.
My favorite best bow is blah blah and you could get it late mid game. G thanks ill try to keep track on my late mid game playthrough
Got nothing on sorc
I have 85 hours, maxed all vocations and played all of them for good amounts of time. If you think Archer is even remotely close to strong, I got bad news for you. But then again, considering that the game is way too easy and has no forms of enemy scaling whatsoever, Archer feels kinda just right.
There's no specific scaling, only region scaling. Then post-game and then NG+.
Obviously you haven’t played magic archer…
Nope...
archer are imo pretty mediocre I've a playtime of over 100h and tested a lot across all classes, only thing that is noticable and speaks for them are the status effects, enhanced burn, enhanced poison are kinda exclusive to them which is cool
Nah thief better. Why does archer have a shitty kick as a heavy. I’d rather swap kick as the aim button and steady aim as a dodge button/dodge roll different from thief side step. Also formless feint broken as hell. I also want to add, they need to have arrows as equippables not used arrows as abilities which take up slots
Come back when you can out dps magic archer. You wont
Magic Archer takes time to charge up that OP damage right?
Archers can spam explosive arrows consistently, and you can climb on enemies and spam explosive arrow right on their vital spot just as consistently too.
Since tenfold flurry and ranger are gone probably won't happen lol
Golems, the only place I know for a fact that Archer can out dps. Outside of that, magic archer wins in general.
Thing is, magic archer is the most bland and boring playstyle I’ve ever seen. Sit still and auto lock on shots, no movement skills, all skills are the same animation in different colors. Never seen anything so boring
@stephenmessana5712 haven't gotten it in 2 yet so idk but in 1 it was busted. Riochet shots off walls, explosive rounds, lighting yourself on fire lol
Sorry, but "overpowered" and "Archer" do not belong in the same sentence. Archers, Fighters and Warriors are bottom of the barrel in this game. The only good Archer is a pawn using Barrage/Mainfold and nothing else. Player Archers only truly shine when using consumable arrows, but who the hell wants to keep spending gold to use attacks? They are far, far outclassed by a Magick Archer, Sorcerer and even a Mage when it comes to overall damage. For bosses, nothing comes close to a Sorcerer using Flare, and for trash, the Magick Archer and especially Thief dominate.
I mean really, if you have not played a Sorcerer or Magick Archer...you really have no idea how weak the vanilla Archer actually is. It's cool that you can take out an entire health bar with one explosive arrow...meanwhile, Flare takes out multiple health bars in eight seconds and doesn't cost gold. The Magick Archer basically gets an Exploding Arrow that you can guide as well and it's free.
I’ve been hearing that Archer is one of the weakest vocations.
Those people didnt use tarring/explosive arrows. Also the spiral arrow is really good but with elemental infusions it gets absolutely nutty
It feels like that at first without the special arrows. but that doesn't last long, even without those arrows.
yea well some of us are on console without mod for infinite special arrows useless class to me
@@geert574I play on console too and there is no need for any kind of infinite arrow mod. The arrows are super cheap to buy from vendors and the flowers/branches to craft the arrows are literally everywhere... So it's a non-issue.
The problem is I find the class super boring to play compared to the other classes.
@@geert574 You don't need mods bro. I have tons of these arrows by just making them to free up space in my inventory haha.
You played 60 hour only ranger and you say its best vocation? Really now?
Why you talk about things you dont know?
Magick Archer one hits all monsters, even dragons. In a certain area it doesnt matter if there is one dragon or 100 dragons. It kills everything.
Even sorcerer sucks compared to magick archer.
Once I get my knock down resistance over 500, Archer is able to tank a few hits and it makes being a Combat Archer possible.
