Der Freischütz

I will be referring to the class as DF for the sake of simplicity

DF is an aggressive, long range, multi hit class with an incredibly powerful low cooldown burst skill. DF excels at providing powerful damage per second from a long range.

In parties, as a DF, it is critical to stand in the back to maintain the most damage as possible without getting hit. DFs can lay waste to a group of mobs without getting hit.

Become a Der Freischütz by following the steps:

DF uses Guns, The life of a DF is a tough one, so prepare to do a lot of work on your character to reach various power spikes in the game. DF is centered around getting the most amount of damage you can at a safe range. So position is key to playing this class effectively. If you’re getting hit and crack locked, your damage per second (DPS) falls dramatically. The playstyle of the class revolves around using Basic Shot and Sit and Shoot to do effective damage while chaining in other shorter range skills to finish off mobs. The kit of a DF is versatile as well, there are a few skills that offer damage mitigation, a ton of area of effect skills, long range abilities and abilities which propel you backwards to safety.

The number one rule to DF is If you can KB (knockback), you win.
All of DF skills have the potential to knock back mobs and lock them in a corner. But you must do sufficient damage to achieve this. So bringing a popstar or wanderer along with you at all times will improve your damage enough to knockback mobs.

Levels:
140~201: You will KB most mobs, this part is very easy for a DF. A few exceptions would be Bollywood instance or MD instance if you aren’t strong enough.
201~207: Things will start to get tougher to KB, you will have access to Aurora Garden. Mysterious Hall. There are mobs in here that are really strong, about 70%~80% Target Defence Decrease is required.
208~211: You will have access to Rivera City Hall, you actually have a decent time here. There are Shield mobs where you just need alot of hit points to kill, you can easily kill these with your nuke.
212~215: You should be pretty strong at this point, you should have atleast a Lab weapon, a Black Set, good badges, and should be pretty far into your legends, at least legend 7.
216~220: You should be finishing off LL7 at 220. Your nuke damage should be high, and you should be wearing Blasphemy gear with a sun set.
220~235: Pretty much easy sailing from here, just doing dailies to power up. The hard part is over. You just need to work on gear slowly.

Skills will be ranked by the 3-star system:

This build consists of stacking critical rate and getting all of the strongest skills. I skipped out on the Golden Shot because it's a bit weak this patch, even though it's very fast. The other skills you can do in the meanwhile are good. The Nuke is important. This build focuses on critical rate. This is the most cost effective build for DF. You save a lot of resources with this build.
