ET master AoE archer
Created by shinoyami on Jun 13th 2016 (Last Updated: Jul 8th 2016).
This is a public build.
18
After a long time of research I made this build for Earth Tower and end game Archer. Since most of archer builds are single target with some variations, I made this build looking for use the Falcon with maximum capacity and still helps the team.
Since it's a Wugushi build the focus will be more on STR and some dex for evasion and crit. Critical will be useful for archer and cannoneer, so you can fix the crit with gems or put more points on dex.

Invested points
STR: 186
CON: 31
DEX: 102
Swift step: Give you evasion
Multishot: One of your most powerful skills for combo
Oblique shot: Put only 1 point for leveling
Swift step: It will give you 25% crit rate with the attribute and evasion
Multishot: same
Oblique shot: same
@edit After some discussion I decided to remove kneeling shot and put the rest of points on Full draw.
Swift step: same
Multishot: same
Oblique shot: same
Heavy shot: only 1 point for kitting
Twin arrows: It's a powerful skill for map clear however mana hungry
Needle blow: Deals high amount of damage on target
Wugong Gu: Your main skill with Wugushi, it will spread the poison
Zhendu: Reduce enemy's poison resistance and deal damage
Needle blow: same
Wugong Gu: same
Zhendu: same
Throw Gu Pot: It's a mini Frost Cloud
Be witch: An alternative of CC with only 1 point, why not?
Call: You will need that to keep falcon with you
Roost: Since is a pain in the ass keep pressing Call everytime, you can keep him
Circling: That's why you get falcon, it will be your main skill
Hovering: A option to damage and knockdown enemies with falcon, but the damage is garbage
Pheasant: Fill points
Hanging shot: YOU CAN FLY!!
Cannon shot: AoE burst
Shootdown: Use this instead of cannon shot on flying mobs
Siege burst: AoE burst
Cannon Blast: AoE burst
Your falcon will improve all your AoE skills and your party skills decreasing the defense ratio of mobs to -5. After use your circling you can use Multishot, Cannon shot, Siege burst, Cannon Blast and Throw Gu Pot. For fill you'll use your Wugong gu to spreads the poison on enemies. You can do this every 30 seconds (Circling CD) and the party will get their AoE improved too.
For boss fights you can use your Wugushi skills and Multishot, the wugushi tree has a great potential killing bosses.
Careful using Siege Burst because this skill can spread the mobs.
A2R3SR2
This build already proved it's strong, but it need a comp around him with krivis c3 for melstis. Without melstis the cd of Retreat Shot is too long and the fills are garbage.
Ranger variants
Ranger is too nerfed on iTOS, Cannon shot can easely replace barrage. Definitely not worth.
A3/QS3/Musketeer
Already ran this build and it's awful, you feel like being carried everytime because the lack of AoE.
Fletcher variants
Fletcher is awful on Earth Tower, he can melt a boss but it lacks on AoE. Actually any class with hit count is awful on ET.
Sapper wugushi
It's really a good build but it takes too long to kill the mobs, broom trap has a long cd and you don't have time to wait 60 secs for a 15 secs duration and 24 hits skill, your multishot x2 can hit more than the entire duration of broom trap.
Why use this build?
A- The answer is on the entire guide, this build provide a great AOE potential, great damage on bosses with wugushi and support for your party. You can compare with popular builds on Comparison section.
Feels free to ask any questions ;p
Currently I'm rerolling to that build, when I get more level and test some stuff I'll update this post.

and you feel so bad when leveling after rank7.
cannoner is the best finish ^^
Sorry for bad english ;p
what is your final stat point invested?
I'm currently at 110 dex ( stopped already) 93 str (currently investing all future stat points) 30 con..
Which armor should I get plate or leather? The build is fun and enjoyable to play wiping mobs especially with linker, currently 230..
I am also trying out this build. As for kneeling shot vs full draw, i put kneeling shot at 3 for the attribute and the rest into full draw for the skew duration. Kneeling shot is a filler and full draw skew helps out in dungeon.
any recommendation for equipment ?
