Is This a Good Archer Build???

[liam_bristow]

I want to have a very balenced archer. I want high aim and evasion, a decent critical rate, i don't want to be too squishy and i want decent damage. So would this work for that?

25SPR rest 1 END, 1 STR, 1 DEX

If you've got any better ideas for a archer build tell me! XD

Oh and one more thinng could someone explain kiting to me i don't understand what it is.

[yuuya88]

kiting = you keep running at the same direction while having mobs to chase behind you, most likely you'll start off with T1 speed scrolls........you can make those yourself it's really cheap and easy.

ok, so before you get mobs to chase you........you need to run near them to aggro or you shoot an aoe and aggro them.

Then next you keep running and aoe the mobs behind you, and tada.........you mastered kiting.

I personally run a 22 str 20 dex 22 spr build no harm sharing but i felt archers needed the damage to do short kites. Some will argue that archers needed full dex to PULL a lot of mobs but I prefer pulling fewer mobs but finish them very early.

But if you hold too many mobs and have to run straight and very long lines to survive while you kite probably you might lose part of the loots that the mobs can give as the durations have passed too long and the loot dissapears, so short kiting could be a good way to earn money.

I personally feel that you should either run an END or DEX because the points are too scattered into 4 areas in your build, you do need a minimum of 33-50 dex and decent dex gear to even dodge a fair amount in fields, and you won't be dodging a lot in abyss even with high dex due to extreme aim mobs have. For eg. I have 22 free stat dex and 80 points dex in gear but I have like 1% dodge in abyss 50. Conclusion :

END is useful for kiting more mobs in abyss 40~70 range, DEX is useful for kiting mobs in normal fields, due to the mad misses

*Take note after 70 abyss mobs do a lot more damage and END won't be as useful for archers so a restat might be needed
