Archer build full STR or 25 SPR rest STR?

[kiruaxx]

Hello, I have created an archer character and it is now level 43, my build is currently (+48) STR. So basically i just put all my points into STR because i knew this was a good stat for archers. However, I recently started to wonder if I should put the +25 SPR in my build like many guides say because it is rumoured to be a good build. So my question is: should I go full STR or 25 SPR rest STR in my build?

Note: For now i've been doing just fine, I kill monsters quickly enough but I think that I may pull agro too much, especially in KQ and I'm worried because I obviously dont want Mini Dragon to always kill me in future KQs everytime the tank gets feared...

Note 2: I don't use +9 but i try to get STR, END, DEX in my gears.

Thank you for your answers and have a wonderful day/night.

all archers want spr for is the extra critical rate and the extra sp, you have to realize that spr will not help you with dealing extra damage one bit except for criticals, but i do suggest doing it.

If you love just dealing a steady high amount of damage all the time don't do it. Pure Str is just for you.

I'm a pure spr archer FTW

Spr in the build adds a very nice crit rate; almost every hit you make is a crit. You do pull aggro more easily than other DD, but tanks can still handle them. For bosses like MD, I would say don't worry. Just hit protect. ^^

Spr is a tricky stat: for some people the damage output of a pure str outdoes the chance of a crit rate. It's just based on luck.

bleh to strength,Spr/Dex :P,i learned when i got 90,Str doesn't help much when ur restoning so much,incase u use cash pots and have a stone extender,or feel like spending like 2g on pots a lvl :P

This is an interesting question: I have put some in my DEX but stopped.... thus I think I only have 12...maybe 13 in my DEX... I also put 25 in my SPR and all the rest in SPR.

in KKP, I not only pull/have aggro, I keep it..thus, I can 'tank' very well

I have a +9 Blue bow and non +9'd blue armor...

I do love my crit shots so that is why I put 25 in my SPR... love being a DD archer overall as well..

sounds like you are doing fine with me though and having fun :D best of luck with it too ^_^

I like the 25spr and think it is somthing no archer can live with out. I currently hold a 38% critical hit rate with my +9 blue xbow and its maxed trumpy lic and if i get the right SC items I could have well over 50% if I wanted too.

Ok thank you all for your answers, I will add the 25 SPR in my build when I reach lvl 45, so by the time i reach lvl 60 my build would be +50 STR +25 SPR and i would continue on the path of STR. I have made my choice and thanks everybody for helping me.
