Would this be a good idea?

It's working beautifully for me as a 1:1 STR/SPR archer. Your damage will be better than everyone else without criticals, but you'll drag behind when using crits. Get 1 SPR for every STR.

[Vadermods]

hey man great idea but your a little bit behind cuz i have a lvl 19 archer with all the points put to str except 2-3. it works well some times i kill stuff faster then mages at my lvl with the aimed shot [02] and strong shot [02] it works really well/sites/all/modules/tinymce/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cool.gif

[bledcyan]

lots of people have done it, should be fine. I went a diffrent route.. but i'm just as much if not more of a glass cannon..





Last KQ.. I couldn't not pull agro.. with just autoshot and nature's protection every time I could..


Whenever I crited (which is frequently).. I'd have to move so i'd stop firing for a few tics.. was pretty annoying.. never had to tone my damage down quite like that.

Wouldn't a full STR archer be powerful, but they wouldn't crit much and rely on their skills to keep them alive?* Without powering up the CD with skill points, they really have no chance against a warrior or a mage really... because my 16 mage hits 300-700 dmg total in about... 3 seconds, and I KNOW that no archer near that lvl can do that in that amount of time.* Plus a full STR archer would die quick if they mess up and don't have enough firepower to kill the enemy before the archer kills the enemy(ies)?

[Yorishi]

spr is not only crit, but also mana. and for higher lvl skills you need A LOT of mana. so put some str bonuc and other put to spr

[Shimbo]

I'm a full strength archer at level 22, and it works fine for me. I tend to pull aggro way too much in Mara's KQ, and I still crit rather often. I do, however, run through a lot of mana pots and stones.

[linhlinklink]

I think ì u Full STR u can't do anything, because STR doesn't need 4 Arch, They need DEX to increase Aim and Evasion. With low HP, if u take on STR, Fighter will be kill u anytime if they need.

[vaanir]

I dont agree, dex wont save*u cuz 1 point on dex is just like 0.20% evasion/ aim.


The dex that u get each time u lvl is already good enough, the important is to focus on str and spr: u will cause more dmg, more criticals and will have more sp and* magikal def.


Just my opinion but u realy dont need more dex =D

[TerraTwist]

I'm not sure about full STR, but 1str:1spr is working out fantastically for me as well.


Archers already have natural high DEX, so you really don't need to add any more.

[dorablue]

With my first archer I did a 2:2:1 STR:SPR:DEX build which worked well; I decided I really liked to play the class. Since this is closed beta with a wipe at the end I decided to try a build someone suggested on the forum to seewhat differences there were are my latest is a 2:2:1 DEX:SPR:STR build. I am finding that there is much more of a difference than I thought there would be; based on how much more easily the second archer levels I think that this build may be what I decide to go with when the game goes into open beta.

[amadplayer]

full spr maybe fine.:)

[talonmas]

Yes, full Spr might be fine, since then you dont have to waste points on reducing SP cost (you have plenty of sp). But hey, why are we discussing Spr builds? He asked about a full Str build, didn't he? :p





Str is good early on. Later though, Spr will do more for your damage. This is cause Str adds in a linear way while Spr doesn't (well, not entirely true... but i don't wanna do the math right now).





So basicly, if we can re-spec our stats later on by any means, then go full Str in beginning and switch to Spr later on. That's my advice atleast.

[NaiPinG]

STR = +1.2dmg


SPR = +.2%crit(1~25)/.1%crit(26+), +.5Mdef, +5sp


as u can see spr get a 0.2% crit increase from lvl 1 ~25 but after that we only get a 0.1


so what i suggest is add spr till 25 and switch over to strength


<u>1st u gonna start to love ur critical rate than u love the dmgs it gives </u>

[talonmas]

But Str has a static modifier, meaning it will become obsolete with high power weapons. While crit works with % and thus will still be good when you get some leet weapon.

[Kamil]

To correct NaiPinG, you get 0.2% critcial in crease from 1~25 SPR not level. Then there after you only get 0.1% critical increase for each SPR point.


Some would switch to STR after this or whatever stat you want to increase although I don't recommend DEX since you get enough DEX from leveling already. I would continue SPR and maybe add END if at all needed, because I feel that you don't get that much increase in damage from STR and SPR would be more worth it since you're dmg would increase by 200% every time you crit which would be quite often.


Just seems logical to me.
