Now, What's the best stats to put in if you're are archer?

Is there any archers right here? Can some archer stand up and tell us Neo which one is the best? go full POW or MEN x AGI or something...

I read all the thread about how to build an archer... but it seems like everyone is still guessing on how to do so... can someone tell for sure?

[Jackieliu]

i am thinking if you have 60 stats.... how about 50 POW and 10 on MEN and AGI?

[hazeofacid]

As an archer, you should really think about putting mostly POW. Don't worry about AGI for the benefits you get with it, wouldn't outweigh the benefits of POW. I would say every 3-5 levels, put a point in MEN until you have 20 MEN, then go full POW. 20 MEN should yield you about 10 base crit. With the full POW you will be able to carry alot more pots, you do the most damage possible for an archer, and with the 20 men you get enough crits to be happy about.

how I play an archer, power is needed most. sisnts hit and run is the best way to fight, or being safe behind a wall, you tend to not need to worry about other stats. It's not like you will be clubbing the enemy with your bow, or ever be the tank for your group.

[exzult]

that is right an archer is a ranged type player...
it need no pow...pow is only for those that are melee and besides a base 10 crit is still not enough to be happy about...oh and archers sacrifices pow for the ability to shoot arrows with pin point accuracy

i still am a newbie in this game but i sure am not a noob i know a thing or two when it comes to the archer class...^_^

I put all I can on Agi.Since pow is for melee i need quick hits and high rate.But make sure you get a backpack to carry the pots.

[talonmas]

For quick hits, add MEN not agi. Cause you will spam skills, not regular hits... And trust me on that one.

[JackOfTrades]

Power and Mentality would be the way to go with an Archer.

Agility, basically makes you hard to hit. Since archer is a ranged base player, and has the Ankle Binder skill.. You need not worry about getting hit often. Using pow and men helps because you hit harder, and hit with a better critical rate.

If you time your Skills/Normal attacks right it's just like have .9 - 1.0 attack rate. =]

[Jackieliu]

everyone have their own opinion....

post the stats here and see and u do with them

[talonmas]

Only, the one with opinion about agility hasnt even played/seen an archer in game... My guess he's from RO where dex, aka agi, added to damage and str/pow did not.

Alot of pow, some men. Do that and you have a good archer. If you wanna do other way, do at your own risk. (in closed bete there were unlimited stat resets whenever you liked, so other builds HAVE been tried. and thrown)

16 Men gives 90 hit rate, 10 crit/skill crit. I have yet to play an archer. As a rule following the the stat setup you see at class creation will make for a decent, well rounded character. Though Men is very important for this class..

I am one of the few that uses both the normal hit and the skill to attack,and with agi you get dodge rate raised.

A lot of people use both actually...except spell casters.

But don't act like the damage is equal, you do a lot more with skills.
