I decided to play as an archer and I have created my own build, I just need some input from veteran archers.
I wanted to create a character that would be good for kq,bosses,soloing,partying,and damage per second, and taking his own fair share of damage... In short I want It all, maybe with a little pvp too ( but I realize archers are more for PvE).

by level 70 I have planned to distribute my points as such
(45+) str (I will want a decent amount of damage but will I fall short of others?)
(12+) dex ( archers have allot of natural dex so I decided to keep this low)
(18+) end ( being able to take damage is important to me)
(99+) Int (lol, its all jokes dont worry +0)
(10+) spr (I can keep this low because I will purchase the odd sc crit%+ gears)

I know that from other rpg's spreading your points thin can lead to a disaster
so I wanna check with you guys before I go grinding, btw lvl 23 atm.

thankyou

Hmm, that is a unique build. Personally, I would say ditch end, because in my opinion no amount of end is going to help an archer very much. (My theory is offense is the best defense, but that's just me)

Dex is pretty much the archers end, but if you want to be able to dodge hits and take them, then a few +9 armor should do the trick if you're willing to fork over that much sc.

Just for your enlightenment how much points you should add to spr.

The following items give critical:
1) Weapon: 8 to 10% (Mine 10%)
2) Licence: 5%
3) Blue Boots: 5%
4) Earring: 2%

You can add 15 -25 points to your Spr to get a total of 25% critical without SC items.

str - works for archers only if you add alot of it. if not.. its just a couple of damage difference.
dex - if the range increase per point thing is into effect, and increase the amount of evade added per point, this will be great. for now, dont add anymore into it, not really worth it when you have so much points in str already.
end - well.. i would suggest not adding anymore to end. most of the times as an archer you'll kite, so def is not really that important. but, if you have END gears, go ahead and use them. a little extra hp is always welcomed, but not good enough to spent points on.
int - no.
spr - why not add it till 25? thats 5% crit. plus your sc stuff (rich person ><), you should be quite a damage machine. also, the extra 125 allows you to use 1 more skill before you have to hit the sp stone button.

thanks for all your input, it seems as if its a fairly bad idea to add end, but to be original im going to try it out and only add 12 to end and 18 to dex, thanks :)

For me, i would suggest not to add any sprit, it doesn't help that much. I mean seriously, 5 percent critical isn't that much its like one out of every 20 hits is critical, i don't know why people make such a big deal about it. I think the str is pretty good, maybe add a little more, if you want to be dexy you'll probably need enhanced weapons

The crit rate for 25 spr is pretty nice; I'm working my way up to that build. I crit once every 4-5 hits..very useful. ^^
