Aight, now i've decided for last time im taking archer, read first, then comment and help

[TrippleS]

i've read other threads, they are not answearing for sure or they are answearing too complicated, how should i build my acher? no dex, that's for lvl 20+ crossbow, and that aint good, but they also say not much str, cuz it adds only a little dmg, so im really confused, i want much hp, much sp, and much dmg, what should i build up?

[masterofstr2]

for archer i think u nedd dexterity for more damage

[nanasi]

I recommend STR1:SPR1 build with END rings for much hp/sp/dmg.

Dex doesn't add damge for archers...... only adds chance to hit. And the class already gives quite a bit of dex per level up.

[DaSchorn]

At the moment it looks like I will go for 25 Spirit at the beginning and maybe throw in some END... After that I hope to read more comments of those addicted no-lifers that invest way more time than me :)





Just a small sidequestion: what do you mean with 5:2:1 Spr:Str:Dex build and soon ? Does that mean 5points to Spr then 2 on Str and at the end 1 for Dex? Bit confused about that ;)

[TestSubject]

That means for every 5 points in Spr you have 2 in Str and 1 in Dex. Not really in any specific order, just have the +X be close to 5:2:1.

[DaSchorn]

Ah ok. This means when you got 8 points you put 5 on Spr, 2 on Str and soon. Thanks for the lil help.





Lets see wether the admins chance something on our beloved class ; ) Maybe we get some boosts or stick to the old experiences...

[hickwarrior]

I'd recommend you do END dex and str.





For alchemy skills, i'd recommend using scrolls and potions, but that's the same for all classes.

[talonmas]

Dont add END. Since we dont use shields, half of the stats benefit (+shield block) is wasted. My opinion though.

[dorablue]

END may become more important at higher levels.


Also, we will need to wait to see what tweaks the devs have made to the Archer class since CB before we can actually say without any doubts what the best build will be; even then the "best" build will depend on how YOU want to play YOUR archer.


Don't try for a "cookie cutter" build; the free stat points and the skill points are there so that we can all personalize and customize our characters.


If you read the posts by the players who succeeded in raising archers to high levels in CB - like Skeith, Trebori, DanHawking, and crazyscott12 - you will have a much better idea of archer stat and skill builds.


FiestaWiki ("http://www.fiestafan.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page") may also help.

[DaSchorn]

No END then, but what will you add instead? Str doesnt really give you more damage and the evasion-rate is just a joke as some high lvls told me on those good monsters...





I could only make it to ~24 on my archer and I was unsure wether using xBow or the normal one... My archer is meant to be a party-player because my friends are tank-fighter and support-clerics so I will not train solo that much. What do you prefer and in which way will the weapon influence my stats?

[DanHawking]

DaSchorn: STR is more important than most people think. SPR is probably the best stat I've used on an archer.


I advocate, as usual, SPR to 25 --> 5:3:2 SPR/STR/DEX. My CB2 stats were before I knew about the spr dropoff, otherwise you'd see +25 SPR and suchandsuch.

[DaSchorn]

At the moment my desired build looks quite similar to yours Dan. Is it really worth to put in Spr after it gets nerfed?


The most important thing in this discussion is wether the admins change anything with the release of OB... Seems like we have to wait until they give us the new version to find out... Do you think we get a patchlog? I hope to see them opening the servergates soon...

[DanHawking]

SPR always helps. Always. Critical hits ftw.

[dorablue]

I agree. Even after SPR=25, I would always add to SPR, even if it is only 1 in 5 or so levels.


Any increase to crits will pay off. Any increase.

[Minato]

Hey, when you guys say go 25 spr, are you saying, your base should be 25 spr? Because currently at level 12, my little archer has 16 base spr with (+9), thus 25. Am I stopping there on spr and moving towards a new stat or do I get to x amount of spr with (+25) spr? You guys should clear that up.

[DaSchorn]

You are hunting for (+25)SPR /sites/all/modules/tinymce/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-wink.gif

[zerodox]

wait does spr get nerfed at lvl 25 or after stat hits 25.

[iLoveless]

When the bonus points become +25 is when each point added only goes for 0.1% increase.

[Stragy]

ill give you a high dmg build: 3spr:3str:1dex thats is a very high dmg build =)

[iLoveless]

That may be a high dmg build but I'd say spend the lower levels adding into SPR to get you the 5% bonus criticals. Then after that you can go 3:3:1 STR: DEX:SPR or STR:SPR: DEX.
