Archer Build

[shineshine]

From what Chriszed recently wrote in his guide it says that your SPR has to be 25 for good crit rate, but I was wondering why cant you add more than 25 SPR. And when you have reached that amount you dont add any more to SPR and add some to STR and DEX but how much would you add. Would it be better to just stay with two stats to upgrade eg. SPR to 25 then rest on DEX, or should you do 25 on SPR then balance STR and DEX out?

[Chriszed]

Well if you got 25 spr thats an extra 5% crit rate. Then now i heard after 25 dex, dex starts to suck. Now thats an extra 70 skill points. Ouch. If you put that all into STR thats only like about 100 dmg. At lvl 100 that isn't ,much. But if you crit that extra damage could mean you kill something. So ya im really stuck as well.

It says in the wiki that it adds +.2%crit to lvl 25 then adds .1% crit lvl 26+. I understand that but how about after that? How much STR and how much DEX?

I got a question, does the "raise your SPR to 25 points" mean that you use 25 of your extra points or does it mean put points into SPR until your base stats plus your extra points equal 25?

not level 25... the first 25 points which you add will give 0.2% crit and from there on u'll just get 0,1%.

[shineshine]

Yes, small mistake there...Does Dex raise your archers damage or does Str raise your archers damage? And then if the bow also makes how strong you are too then ill go full dex with like 10 points on str maybe..Good build?

dex just improves the accuracy and the evasion. str improves the bow/xbow damage

I just read the forums a bit and discovered two new builds to me, they are:

1.SPR to Lvl 25
Rest to DEX


2.SPR to Lvl 25
then 1:3 DEX/SPR or vice versa

Which will be the better of them in the end?

[Chriszed]

I would say the dex one.

[shineshine]

Which ones the dex one? They all have dex in them. 1st, second or third? It has to have a decent amount of dex so ill occasionally dodge the attack and a decent amount of sp so ill crit quit alot and can spam my skills.

1. SPR to Lvl 25
Rest to DEX

man you guys , DEX IS POINTLESS TO ADD FOR ARCHER, its an archers main stat increase each level already! , unless you're planning on fighting bosses/reds the entire time , do either PURE STR , or 25 SPR/PURE STR , which frankly i cannot decide on at the moment , 5% Crit is good , but more damage etc etc zzz

[shineshine]

I searched through the archer forums again, not much in there but yea i found out dex is quite useless in the later levels and thinking maybe i rather do a full SPR build with 10-15 points on END.Or should i add STR? Would it be good?

[PufftheMagicDragon]

I would say the 1st one ShineShine,

If you really want STR..
25 SPR/Rest into STR > PURE Str

that 5% Crit is good and if you've put that 25 points into STR instead, what attack bonus is that really..?

I wouldn't put a single point to STR myself :p My preference but I don't think it's worth it, try looking ahead at the higher lvls and see how much +dmg you get and how really little it is to the high dmg you'd already have with weapons and stuff. Though even if I say so myself.. What stat would have been better? I have my own and happy and don't want to share because I don't want too much people to be doing it :mad:
