What is the best stat build for archer with regular BOW

[salmonson]

Just put in how much i should put on every stat thx

[DanHawking]

SPR to 25, then 5:3:2 SPR/STR/DEX. jajaja

[zadane]

i tihink archer mainly needs dex and end. and also put strenth in. im a warrior type but if i was an archer id do that!!

[FeeLz]

I'm*not putting on any DEX because its already naturally high.(but it is good if you are using a crossbow at lvl 20)


I'm gonna*get*END and STR equal. If neede I may add 25 SPR.*

[zadane]

yeah not a bad idea ur be a mage destoyer with that!!!!!!!!! just be sure to add some dex!!!

[Vaxine]

not adding the 25 spirit is like throwing away 5% crit so its a must then i would go full dex because str is useless because u should crit quite often and dex makes u hard to hit

[Kamil]

I heard from Skeith (lvl 56 archer in CB2) that he kind of regrets adding alot of DEX because it didn't really help in high level mobs. =x


That kind of turned me off to adding DEX at all. I agree that SPR is essential. SPR will benefit you alot more than STR since STR adds very little damage.


After learning all this I can't really decide what stat to add besides SPR and a little END if at all needed.

[xiaowa]

i think an archer should put in str and spr...or full spr...coz it lacks attack...thats what i feel

[max9183]

if you go pure dex after lv 25 youll be missed a lto in the 50+ trust me

str worse thing to ever add 1.25 attack is nothing and never adds up to much ever even going pure str to lv 100 is what 125 damage which is such a tiny increase


pure spr after a while could have you critting a lot hey lv 75 is 10% crit plus magic will phizzle against you


end... you can but really as an archer if you dont kill a monster before it gets to you or shortly after your gonna have problems no matter what your end is


id say go 2:1 dex/spr after lv 25 and ust spam skills to all holy hell

[abistar]

(id say go 2:1 dex/spr after lv 25 and ust spam skills to all holy hell)

so until lv 25 put points into SPR only? then after char lv 25 put into dex as well?

My archer build...STR ALL. SPEED SCROLLS. GREEN END GEARS +3. This build is based on the strike & hike method of fighting. I never fouhgt toe to toe unless I had to.
I got to level 77 & had no problems...except one, hence the #1 rule lol. I started using a +9 xbow at level 70 but it wasn't necessary.
# 1 rule...Lots of RAM (2G minimum, 1G to 2G is a big difference in performance. Not sure after that. Depends on your machine.) & a good connection to avoid lag. Alot of my time in the upper levels (51+) was spent kiting. I usually brought along a friend to farm & we would split the profits.
My build was 100% STR. I never had any blue gear but I always tried to have END greens with at least +3 enhancement.
This build works good for leveling if rule 1 can be followed. I usually found my defence adequate until I got the kite skill at level 51. Then defence was even less important.
#2 - Use Speed Scrolls to stay ahead of the mobs.
My alternate build would be to try out SPR to 25/STR after SPR. I don't really see the need for DEX because I kited most everything after lvl 51. If you fight toe to toe, I would go 100% DEX or DEX25/END. INT is useless. For the most challenging build, go full INT...;)

[skysparkle]

lol um necro?

[rhyperio]

well, i , being a fellow bow user, will tell you my build.
1:1 dex/spr

epic crits=fast kills
epic dex= lots of eva


and if i have fail hp, ill cut them off at the stat caps(33 or 50 dex) and add some end


str sucks for bow users,
unless u have epic str gears:D, and a +10 bow:D
