3:00 The Recovery Arrow gains another effect when fully charged: it becomes a massive AOE which will instantly revive multiple pawns at once and heal as many as nearby if possible, including yourself.

If you have warfarer you can use the sorcerer and magic archer build, it doesn’t 1 shot bosses but it’s still op and you don’t have to rest at a camp

Just got it last night! Everyone’s been getting a glacier to the face

Kinda surprised you didin't mention Lifetaking Arrow. Travels a 'long' distance, can go through walls, pulses holy damage, heals pawns based off that damage, costs no health to use. It's amazing for killing everything not a Big monster, and even then I can pretty decent at killing them as well.

My Arisen is either a warrior or fighter, I tried the Magick Archer a bit and I felt unstoppable lol.

I must being doing something terribly wrong. I started this class yesterday. I am currently at level 50. I was crushing everything as an Archer. But even as a almost fully ranked up magic archer I am just getting wrecked. By the time any shot is cast, my archer is getting hit by the enemies that have had all that time to close the gap between themselves and my character. If I get high enough up to fire down on enemies, they move around so much that I cannot keep them in range. So if they do even get hit there is no power to what is hitting them. The ricochet shot is insane and I love it. Although it really does take all the effort out of fighting. I had no issues with a Chimera in a cave. I just fired that a few times and it died. I am on PS5, the controls to work this class are very awkward and clunky on the system. I have to hold 3 buttons at the exact same time to even start charging my shots. If the dratted thing would actually auto target it would help a lot. I just started the Thief and it is so much better than the magic archer. I am very disappointed, because I truly thought that the magic archer was going to be the class for me and my kind of playing style. Love the game though.

I haven't played the game yet but back in DD:DA, people would level as sorcerers to high level before taking magick archer to maximize their magick stat. Or they would level as magick archer as soon as they reach lv 10 so the growth stat of magick and strength are balanced

I just bought the game this build sounds awesome

Doesnt warrior have an augment to reduce loss gauge buildup? Do we know if that slows HP usage for Martyr's bolt?

Warrior next !

The regular bow shots for Magic Archer are great, but there seems to be a wild variation in lock-on time for those little ticks/shots that build up. I cannot for the life of me figure out what is controlling this, or whether it's just bugged. Sometimes all the shots stack really fast and it feels great. Other times they stack super slow and don't seem to register, which is extremely annoying when an enemy is rushing at you or a Drake is charging up their BS AoE attacks.

Pressing Y switches between a wider reticule or a smaller one. The wider one focuses on multiple enemies or parts, the smaller one rapidly stacks the lock on to single parts or targets.

@@ArekkzGaming Thanks yeah, I know about switching convergence between Rivot Shot and Pinpoint Volley. I am talking more about general attack speed / casting time for the MA bow. My guess is the Celerity / High Celerity spell from the Mage is what increases my attack speed and hence the build-up of the lock-on charges? Not sure if the Ring of Recitation and Ring of Articulacy effect casting speed for MA bow, or only just Sorcerer and Mage. I still need to get those rings and test for MA.

Sorceror is my favorite class in ANYTHING, but the fact "magic Archer is unique to the arisen" is the only reason I'm playing it 🙄 it is pretty fun, but I hate having to give up so much life to do that OP ass attack

the only issue is the flare despawns if not hit within a few seconds so it can be tricky to set it off like that, it's more efficient with helm splitter or mystic spear hands basic attack rapid spin, though ya augural flare basically makes warfarer the single best class because of flexibility and damage output.

I think he means the "conversion" skill it has (Y on xbox = rivet shot to pinpoint volley) The rivet shot makes the targeting circle a bit smaller but locks on much faster. Pinpoint volley has a bigger circle to target more enemies (or monster parts on bigger enemies) at the cost of lock-on speed. I personally prefer rivet shot to make better use of the Protracting core skill. Basically if you use an elemental attack (like the ice boulder), your bow keeps the elemental buff for a short time; which is enough to fully lock on your standard rivet shot, shooting 7-8 elemental arrows instead of just regular, applying elemental debilitations is so much faster like this.

@Narniak69

4 ай бұрын

@@luiscerbada4240 I'm pretty sure the High Celerity spell from Mage significantly shortens lock-on time for the MA shots, regardless of which conversion you use. I was getting random spikes in how fast the lock-on happens, and it's not just from switching between Pinpoint Volley and Rivet Shot. I go through a lot of different hired Mage pawns as I'm leveling up, so it must be whether they are casting Celerity or not. Will need to test some more when I get on again Also need to get the 2 rings that shorten cast time and see if they work for MA.

Yeah the maister skill for Magick archer is insane. I wouldn't say its the best farming class though since you can't cut specific parts with it that still goes to thief imo (medusa heads, tails etc). Also you gotta rest every time you use the maister skill because it can kill you. I personally prefer Sorcerer once you find the ring that halves your spell cast time for having reduced max HP while wearing it. I also like regular Archer since their maister skill can basically one shot if you hit a weakspot. I will say magick archers make farming Golems trivial though (so does sorc)

Magick Archer is ridiculous. If it's inside a cave, you spam ricochet hunter from the entrance and everything inside just dies. If it's outside and can be toppled, you hit it in the face with arctic shot for free knockdown. If it's a griffin, you stick a spicy ball to it and burn it's feathers

With DD however, i find it very easy to navigate. The quests and what to do are discribed in the start menu under quests. Hitting forward on the dpad makes my pawns take the lead and i just follow them to the quest location. The pawns also usually help if ur stuck if you talk to them and ask about matters of import, they usually tell u whats ur objective and how to do it. Only a handful of quests they cant help with.
