ok hello everyone my name is Kittery and i am a lvl 84 archer from legel. Currently working on hitting 105 :)

I see that alot of people ask about there Archers builds for stats so let me offer this advice and you can do what u want with it.

I reccomend this build for Archers.

25str - to add a little punch to ur damage
75dex- godly when paired with dex/end/spr gear causes people to miss you in combat
25spr-adds magic defense and 5%crit chance


ok here is my Archers stats at lvl 84.
STR:384(+23)
DEX: 591(+51)
End 316
Int 208
SPR: 308(+25)

i have 987 base defense 1325 base evasion 879 m.def 1161aim full geared bu no cookies or scrolls or buffs or anything

EVASION is GODLY : here is my reason why:

when use t4 scrolls i have around 1500evasion

ALL my gear is +End +Dex +spr.
and my reason is this .... my evasion is so high that the AIM of other classes is too low to out do the evasion on my archer .... this causes mages even cookied that would normally kick my butt to miss about 8 out of 10 spells.
this also causes DD warriors that hit for 3-4k dmg to always miss me and when they dohit me i have enough time to use HP stones so i dont die

that is a HUGE advantage for archers! especially since anyone with a high level archer can ottest that our damage SUX so i u cant kill someone in 4-5 shots ur dead

but thre are som drawbacks to this build

your damage will be lower than if u went full STR an 25pr or whatever other buildu have
becuase ur damage is lower ths build becomes more expesive to use.
U have to use more SP and SP pots while kiting ... but u do save alot on HP pots and stones.

Also u will not really see any benifets from the high evasion until u hit around 1000 Evasion
So leveling up with this build is not reccomended until atleast level 75

but at lvl 84 i can goto SoD(swamp of Dawn) and stand in the middle of the gargoyle's feild with no cleric... and spam myAoE until all my SP pots and HP pots are gone without havingto kite making leveling alo faster than questing


i just wanted to share what i have learned about archers along my journey to 105 sofar

If anyone wants to ask me any questions or giveme advice aswell i am always open for new ideas.

My archers name is Kittery from Legel server so please feel free to drop in and say hello

Lol? Why would I want to forsake the only technique that Archers have just so I can use auto attack on a single mob while aoeing?

i've used both the traditional kite as well as pull-with-mover-then-stand-in-the-middle-and-AOE methods... both have their merits..

you will take loads more damage in the stand still method, really depends on the mobs you're fighting.. if you're questing, this is pretty effective as the mobs are of equal or sometimes a bit higher level and they will miss with evasion that high. it also makes looting 100 times easier... i found this technique especially useful questing on JTs while simultaneously AOEing the pulled Magmatons.

kiting, you will take less damage, but you miss out quite a bit on the loot that drops... especially if you're aoeing in the swampy areas of SOD (BMM, Rhinoce, Rhinoce Hunter, Rhinoce Lord, etc).. i know i have a hard time swinging my kite around and doubling back to pick up all that loot before they disappear, it's difficult to even see the loot since they're submerged. however, if you're just grinding on red mobs, this is really the only safe way to solo, so you just deal with it, aside from hats, most of the gear that drops is pretty worthless anyway.

here's my build at level 91... solo grinding on BMM or Rhinoce Hunters typically. i only have 151 bonus points in DEX attributed to my gear, pretty low... at lvl 95, i'll have 226 bonus points in DEX from gear, maybe more if i can find nice paradise rings to use. stats below are without any buffs, my archer is also unmarried and in a storage guild with no bonuses.

Eh I honestly don't think 30dmg is gonna help you too much and 75dex maybe a lil bit too overboard. I would just go with a 25spr 50dex rest str build so by 105 you will have 25spr 50dex 60str which means you'll have 72 bonus dmg that cuts through def from str. Just my opinion on how stat builds work if it works for you and your confident in it don't wrry about it.

@ raskalz, i dont think she's charmed.
HG xbow +9 with weapon skin will give around that much damage with strless build.
if she was charmed, her def should be more than that with an end build ;)

well you're 105 (14 level difference) and maybe with STR in your build and equips, i have none in my build i think there's some in my boots oh and in the Xbow itself, but that's it. and again, unmarried, in non-bonus Guild.

lol Kittery , maybe you should show me a screen shot of your " godly " eva because its not as high as you say it is

Heres my Dex

602 ( +50) my eva is only 1100 , with guardians wish ( +4%, lvl 85 which you are not yet) so tell me , how are you a full 200 more? ( keep in mind i just got a stat reset from +100 dex , which put me at about 1150-1160)

Also unless you had a backpack/ invis suit on you defense makes no sense as well

my END is 458 + 0 , with 865 defense , tell me how you beat me when your a full 100~ end lower

Keep in mind also , i have a higher lvl helm , armor , and pants than you do

Does someone want to explain to me how this is possible when hes not " scrolled" at all?
