I'm actually curious.
How DOES dex help?
I mean, sure, more aim & evasion.
But what does more aim do?
It's not like you're going to shoot off the screen.
=x

Aim is how often you miss the monster/character.
High Dex= less misses
Low Dex=more misses
I dont know how significant the difference between a lot of Dex and a small amount of dex but it might not even be noticable.

I was thinking the same thing.
I do miss, but not the things around my level.
What's the point of being able to hit things higher than me anyways?
My damage still gets reduced a huge amount.

I think youll be fine with a str based build because you really dont miss to often.

I'm building a STR/DEX which will tear up PvP IMO, but if you wish to be a PvE, I'd go STR/DEX/END with a 1:2:3 ratio in that order.

o.o So You're going to add 1 STR for every 3 END?

My Archer has no END at all, which is bad seeing how stingy I am with my HP pots.

if I tell you it wouldn't be a secret anymore Oo

Eh....no, I was saying thats good for PvE, but now that I think about it this would be better.

DEX/STR/END in that order with the same 1:2:3 ratio

Hehe my secret, and no one will know ^.^ Your concepts are all interesting though, I'm testing so much out so actually what I'll use is still unknown O.o...

lmao ur testing so much that u dont know what is going on hahah

well i dont have any secret
but here is my build and why
6 lvl would giv me 6 point
3 to str for damg >
2 to dex for aim > atm im also testing a full dex to see if aim would giv me a longer shot
1 to end for max hp +5hp , def +1def and 0.1 % block > the 0.1% block is not need for a hunter but arr well > i add this only to pvp ..if Pve i would be better of going 4str and 2 dex >kill b4 it come

Archers have such a DEX amount added per level, you don't really need to put any points into DEX.

Hmm, STR/DEX would not tear up PvP. Mages would kill you one shot, because they have just as long of a range, you will have very little health and almost no Magical Defense due to low SPR. IMHO, a high STR build with SPR and END would probably be the best archer PvP build.

magic can miss

The way I do it, I have only +2 in END but I'll probably bring it to +5. But I load myself with DEX and then Spr (I always use all my skils XD) and Str. Spr and Str are about 1:1 and Dex is just a lot higher usually 2x higher. :x

May be wrong bout this but even when archer get good amount of dex every time you lvl having a bit more pump into it will help boost the lifespan the archer stay on the field, since u take less hit n use lesser pot/stone of every enemy

Some of u may say then pumping end will also do the same but since the archer has already a high dex base and a passive skill which also increase the evasion rate. why not work with it;)

yeah, archers specialize in high evasion and aim, the stats you get from lvling and skills might be good enough for monsters at or below your lvl but when you're in a group, don't you tend to go for higher lvl mobs? More aim more evasion for that just in case moment it decides to attack you. Well we all got our own builds xP

sorry to tell you but block only works with shields ;(
i'm also thinkin bout switchign from figther to archer =\ not too sure about it :3

aaa... who are u quoting?? nobody said anything bout blocking only talk bout evading

back on topic:

my secret? whore up the KQ. always invite the tanker and a cleric in your party, then leech away.

edit: you gotta pretend you're doing something so they dont get mad tho. i usually "coach" and sometimes pull the bosses for the tankers.

im 3:5 DEX:END

i love it love it love it atm but im only lvl 16 so ill keep updated

I'm testing 2:1:2 str:dex:spr. started around 6pm sunday night, but i'm already level 17, so i should be able to get back to everyone on that soon.
