GO TO MY ARCHER GUIDE I ADDED A BETTER VERSION OF THIS!http://outspark.com/fiesta/forums/sh...ad.php?t=11617




An Archer basically need 3 or 4 stats. They don't need INT because they
don't use magic. END and DEX will decide your DEF and STR and SPR will
decide your damage. So i decided to compare them.



<font size="6">DEX VS. END</font>

Some people say to put some points in END. I personally don't recommend
END. I say put them in DEX. Why? Because you also get up your aim and
use less money on pots. Because with DEX you dodge more so you don't
lose any HP. Put

it this way. Would you rather get hit more often but lose less HP OR
get hit less often but loss alot of HP. But a bonus with DEX is you get
aim and will hit the enemy more. Also i would like to add every lvl you
get around 3 points on DEX automatically. Plus rings are good if you
really want some END. So in conclusion DEX over END but you could have
some points in END if you feel you need them.



DEX IS THE WINNER.



<font size="6">STR VS. SPR</font>

This one is all in opinion. STR raises your general damage while SPR
raises your crit %, m. defense, and your max SP. Weigh out the options
and SPR looks like it will benefit you more. Well... It does look like
that but I say have a little bit of both. Why? Because if you get up
your STR and SPR you have higher damage and good crit % and good SP and
good M. defense.



IT'S A TIE!



<font size="6">Stat Descriptions</font>

STR- Increases damage.

DEX- Increases aim and evasion. (MAIN)

END- Increases HP and def.

SPR- Increases M. defense, crit %, and max SP.(MAIN)



<font size="6">What Archer are you?</font>

What Archer do you wanna be. Do you wanna kite? Do you wanna be able to
solo? Party? Or KQ? Do you wanna be a damage dealer or have good DEF.
Do you wanna pvp or pve more. Answer these question and it will help
you decide what builds to be.



<font size="6">Builds</font>

Here are a list of builds I have found or made. (You can add to them if you want.)



My Build.

1:3 DEX: SPR This is my build for my archer. It suits my playing
style well. The reason i have good dmg and evasion. I also have good
aim. I have enough SP so i can use my skills alot and i do crit often.



Basic Build.

1:1 STR: DEX. This is the generic build for any archer. It focuses on an archers damage and evasion.. Although later on in the 30's I suggest
some SPR.



Party Build.

2:2:1 STR: SPR: DEX. Why is this party. Because it allows for good
damage and good aim. Making you a good damage dealer. If you do end up
soloing with this prepare for alot of pots and stones.



Solo build.

2:2:1 DEX: STR: END. This is a good solo build because it has good DEF
and good damage. And you won't need alot of pots and stones.



Damage build.

3:3:1 STR: SPR: DEX. This is also a good pvp build because you maximize damage. Enough said.



Defense build.

1:1 DEX: END. Don't really recommond this. It has it's uses in pvp and does help in pve. It maximizes DEF.



All those builds are useful in pvp and pve. I just highlighted it's main purpose.



<font size="6">Professions</font>

Scroll Production: I recommend for the buffs you get. Also good for money.

Potion Production: A great profession for the archer as you get lots of potions that heal good and can sell for alot.

Stone Production: Probably the best profession for money.



I don't recommend any other professions. But it's your call.

Hope you enjoyed my little guide. Well bye!

My build is a 7:6:1 with STR:SPR:DEX. DEX is useless IMO since archers have good accuracy already, the STR/SPR allow me to hit massive blows at good range on whatever I target, coupled with my use of a crossbow for maximum damage per hit.

i used to make a 1:2 str/dex build...bad bad idea....why? Simply cos Evasion sux a lot in this game. in about a week i culdn't make lv 19 ....


I tryed another buid: full str. I made lv 1-20 in about 1 day of game.


I have lack of SP, that's ture, but my single hit has sightly less damage of the skill.

Full END is vastly better than full str. Its NOT the tanks job
to do damage just keep mobs off the DPS. Full STR fighter damage
sucks too so yourself arent good at DPS.


Congrats on your character thats only good at solo enjoy.

I don't know if I'll get a chance to pvp, but my build is mostly slanted in that direction:



At 17, +5 Str, +10 Spr, the rest in End


The idea is to rely on specials for damage, while maintaining a good defense against both physical and magical.





The leveling has been easy anyway, especially using skillpoints to pair down casting times as much as possible.

Regardless of class, only neglect defense if you never intend to pvp /sites/all/modules/tinymce/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif* Of course, pvp certainly seems to be a minority concern in Fiesta ^_~ *


In group pve, you're right.* The more damage the better.

Did you even read the post? He's talking about archers, and in a group, archers don't need defense if you're a decent player and don't pull aggro. If anything, it's worse at solo than in group because you actually get hit when you're solo. But then, archers get a ton of base DEX anyway.

During closed beta i tested out an archer build. My build consisted of mainly str/end. This is a good solo build, also did pretty good and out damaged alot of those full dex archers. How you raise your points is up to you.

I didnt leave dex/spr out. But with my base damage high with a nicely buffed bow i found myself dpsin just fine, with end i could take hits, not many mind you, but enough to where i never had problems staying alive after level 2.

remember though, you NEED to have an upgraded bows. Either buy them or make them yourself. I had no problem getting nicely upgraded bows in CB. Im just now entering open beta though, dont know how much has changed since i left CB.
