Stats point distribution

[estryark]

Hi, I am really new, and I would like to make an Archer with agi/pow/men build, however, I have no idea how to distribute my stats point once I become a scout.

I know I will only give in agi as a neo, but once I get to scout, how should I put my 40 my points on these 3 stats correctly without being messed up?

Do I have one particular stat I should pump until level X?
I was planning do to something around 40%/40%/20%...lower than that seems too weak, 45/45/10 seems interesting too.

Some people may say "Ohh just play the game and pump what you will need as you progress", but I just like to plan my things before I start up.

Thanks

and a recommendation would be to invest in pow/men at the early stages of scouthood till u are almost to archer, than start investing in agi if u wish to do so. just a recommendation from someone who has a pow/agi/men build. ^^

I already went there..but i couldnt find anyone saying at which point they started to invest in other stats

but thanks.

Basically, you want to start off at full POW to maximize your damage. MEN is commonly only invested in after you reach at least archer. Not too sure when you stop going full POW and invest into AGI, though.

I was wondering what to do with my stat points as well. I finally decided on 12 men, 3 agi, and the rest into pow. I'm not sure if the agi really affects my build at all right now, but I do get more misses(from enemy attacks) than I expected. The cast rate of Wind Blow(your main spam attack) isn't too slow and actually quite decent. Your damage isn't going to be as great as going all pow or just pow/men but it seems to be working for me. I'm not sure if this is right but if you are putting points into agi or men, try to hit a breakpoint(what I call it anyways). I've read a few guides and they say that your stats usually go up with every 3 agi or 3 men so I try to put all my stats for agi and men at 5 level intervals(where you get more than just one stat point for the level, I think... D: ). Well anyways, that's my scoop, hope it helps.

I wish there was a way to reset my points. It is hard for me to understand what I did wrong and my scout is not strong enough cause i scatter my points to all area.

when you change to scout, i don't think men is a good idea.
maybe at lvl 6x+ you can start adding men ;3
When you change go full power, or pow/agi (i had 21 agi when i changed :3, and i never had any problems lvling)

I would agree that putting a lot of stat points into MEN or AGI right after you turn scout isn't efficient. I had 10 points in MEN when I changed, and it made leveling harder until I got a decent bow.

MEN is commonly only invested in after you reach at least archer. Not too sure when you stop going full POW and invest into AGI, though.

But it's a personal choice though; I had 30 points in MEN (which is still what I have) before I got to archer, and I started adding AGI in late 7x. A good bow is really important -- if you start investing in enhanced 6ap bows early, then it wouldn't hurt to put more points into MEN since your bow will offset your lower attack. Good luck~

the key to lvling faster with scouts/archers is your offense. spending too much on your gears for your def will only hurt you in the long run. if you really want to lvl fast, invest in men to cast faster, and invest your krons into good bows. with good bows, it will balance out your low pow if you decide to invest your stats into men. This will make lvling faster and give you an opportunity to invest in men early on, instead of waiting till higher lvls.

nice if you can afford the uber bows D;

When you change to scout have like 9 agility 10-12 men and the rest in power.When your close to archer in the 70+ range have your men around 23+ and start getting it to 30 when your archer.Its great idea to have 25+ agility when your around lv 96+ because it gives more critical,dodge, and some what faster casting time.... so basically its killing one stone with three birds. Also i think there is something wrong with the stat build as you progress further in the level 96+ range or 100+.Iv seen Sakura's build and when he had 107 power to 66 power and 50 agility the attack difference was only 4, and that just looks strange to me. Is it useless to invest into power once you have 95-98,or does that go for all the builds? There really isn't that much difference between pow/men build and pow/men/agi build on damage wise, that is as you progress further into the level 100+ range. The only difference i could clearly see was the weight capacity , and having agility increases dodge and dodge is much more useful at least that's what i think.

when i had 21 agi as a scout, a full power scout of the same lvl only had two more base attack than me :3

Thanks for all the help..I've been playing for 3 full days now and I still don't know if I should go rogue or archer..I did read the Scout vs Rogue Pros and Cons and it makes the decision even harder to make.

Also, I could not find any guides for Skill Books locations...is there even one out there?
