How hard Archer hits
Consider Archer with full +12 Slaughter gear with CF 60+300. Couple with priest and mystic buff, full charms, nostrums, bravery and noct consumable.
How hard it's DPS at SSNM/HM with charging build?

It also depends on the tank the party has, I think.
(too poor for vm)
Not missed but less resource gathered due unable to play properly (too busy with real world) haha
As an alt, my archer has only Slaughter weapon and belt. Weapon is rolled 2X enrage, flat and behind with spiteful, carving, savage and focused as crystals (may test one day how things go with pounding instead of carving but since I'm not at 300CF....). Chest top has +10% RoA. Accessories are 3X shadowgate and 2X corvette non perfect rolled(at least both rings have CF rolls) and 4X keen vyrsks.
Keep in mind that since the enrage uptime changed, 50% of your dps will depend in your party dps(how high the dps its on non enrage phases) and debuff uptime
based on my expirience in decent party with 90-100% debuffs uptime (lancer priest myst gunner) full 12 slaugher archer can dps up to ~1.2kk/s in SSHM imperator, ~1.2kk/s floor 22, ~1kk/s manglemire
ping 50-60
+15 imperator gear give you about ~40% dps compared to slaughter
My rotations VM>Ensaring/Debuff>ROA>TB>PA>Ensaring>RA>filler > ROA>PA>ET>RA>BB>PA>repeat (Ketoth's archer high ping rotation suggestions-Thank you!)
The highest I can reach in +12 DN, 60+200. Lancer, Mystic in DFNM around 500ks with full consumable and buff.
Partially true. But the real concerns is toxicity in LFG. Most peps who manage to pop over 1ks/s often said, "Wew another carry run." while in +12 Slaughter.
Well thank you Brotherbros for the support.
I guess this is a very huge drawbacks high ping players.
its VM>[1]Ensaring>RoA>RA>TB>PA>ET>RA>RoA>PA>VM>RA>ET>PA>Restart from 1.
but this only work with bosses that dont move. And BB might be nice to use to increase the PA damage by 25%, but by using bb in the rotation without losing RoA uptime you will have to overcharge PA and RA, while removing one of each> meaning a dps loss.
You need keep in mind that archer DOESNT have a rotation, but a priority skil list. Since most of the fights you will have to dogde or do a mechanic that will screw with any rotation. I created rotation with more than 50 steps, in order mathematically increase the dps, but since it so long it is impractical to use in a real fight scenario. The difference between great archers and mediocre ones is knowing which skill use in each situation (also having low ping...)
I suppose, since you have that ping AND Slaughter, your best chance is to go up. Try to get +15 to try and close the gap a bit. Yes, I know. +15 is a hassle, but people will overlook your 250 ping more if you tote an imperator +15 in their faces than showing up as a +12 Slaughter.
Thank you Ketoth for the guides! I will practice more to get average dps with my 'awesome' ping
Talking about +15 Shenanigans...it's far away from my gearing plans...
