Best Build? PvE
 

I need to know the best archer build for pve, not gonna do any pvp =\
Thnx in advance =]

What I would do is 10 SPR 25 END rest STR, dunno though o.o Not an Archer expert though so get more opinions from other people :nahnah:

I did, well, was going to, this build:

25 SPR/ Rest STR.

K but thnx for the input :laugh:

I've read things about full SPR being a really good PvE build, where some full SPR archers took aggro off full STR archers at higher levels, but it's going to be a tough road up.

I was going full SPR on my archer but I couldn't last, hahaha.

But yeah, I dunno about full SPR. The above is only what I read, not what I have done. xD

my archer is 25 SPR / Rest STR and it's doing well!!

I'm also trying a full SPR archer, but it's only lvl 20 so i cant compare xD

I wouldnt recommend END in free stat, coz you don't get block rates and stuff...

I make up the defence with END gear and scrolls...

Yeah like I said xD Not an archer exper xD~ More of a Mage and Fighter person :P

K thanks a load guys/ gals ;D
i think i'm gonna go with 25 SPR/ Rest END =]

Yeah was gonna say o.o You should do 25 SPR/Rest STR~ Thats how most archers (the good ones) do it :3

Up to you tho, lol. Its your char :uhoh:

my bad yo... can't i make a mistake...
at least i know u guys were active and watxching my thread =]
but yes... rest STR... right?

LOL just wanna double check that it was a typo :tongue:

I went 55SPR/rest DEX.....

^ Thats an odd build o.o..

And Archers shouldn't put DEX in free stat, they already have plenty, if they want mroe just get it from gear (which they shouldn't that much really)

Well I love crit, and even without sc I crit at least once or twice a mob. The reason I went with with DEX is people who have done it before have convinced me such as here:http://www.fiestafan.com/forums/show...09&postcount=6

Oh thats cool :O Didn't think of it that way~

Solo PVE: Full DEX
Party build: Full STR (Only add 25 SPR if you do not plan on using CS suits)

Depending on your situation you could take the STR build even for solo play but you are probably going to want to carry speed scrolls around non stop and HP/Def/M.Def scrolls.

For the love of god don't add any END into your build END on an archer is the 2nd worst stat you can add to an archer next to INT. If you want END stat do that from gears only not in your build

Have you played with a full Dex archer Andro?

Haven't played an archer at all to be honest but Ive been doing my research been paying very close attention to the archer sub forum on OS.

I debated myself weither to go Full DEX or Full STR at first I was going to go Full DEX but decided going full STR since I'm probably going to spend alot of time with my ingame partner also going to need the full STR build from Lv 91 onwards.

Full Dex plus an Evasion and Speed and Def scroll very very helpful for soloing in Abyss to recieve less damage and anything else solo (Many Full DEX archers take advantage of this by solo kiting the big room in the Lv 50 abyss) But when you have a cleric with you the DEX is not needed providing the cleric knows when to time the heals.

My guild master was a full END archer she completely regretted adding any END into her archer build (Some people may know her she is a Lv 100 Ranger on Teva) yeah no shield for archer = no block rate effectively having END/DEX equipment and having +'ed gear provides the same end result.

Oh ok you forfeit a lot of dmg by not going STR built... I guess it's a trade off between dealing dmg and receiving dmg....

I need to restone every half an hr when I solo an abyss room, but it worked out well for me coz that's also when my inventory gets too full...

I've always wanted to make a full SPR archer. *_*

Especially since Archer spells take so much SP and how fast you can cast them.

Would love to test out Full Dex, Str, and SPR.

Well Andro hit the nail on the head. Although I think any archer build needs 25spr. For pve solo 25Spr/Rest dex, for party/pvp 25spr/Rest str, and for a jack of all trades 25spr 50dex rest Str.

You can go crazy and do full spr, but thats a major risk. I might try it though when I get more stat points and with pots, scrolls,wep,boots,earring, andcrit suit I can get 100% crit.

/dream

I think 75%crit is the max now. But that really is like a crit every hit lolol.

whoa haven't checked on this thread and look what happens =]
wow thats alot of info to take in but also very useful xD

but i'm gonna be soloing for a while and maybe when i party i might just be kiting so idk if the SPR/STR still applies =\

You could do the thing Zwivix said about SPR/DEX/STR, but Loveless said its not good to put 3 stats so idk =/

They fixed the dex since the cap raise it actually makes a difference now. I've seen alot of high levels use that build and say they are good at pve and pvp,but of course not masters of any.

^Didn't know that. o.o

If you really can't decide on what build, just wait a little bit? Just don't wait as long as I did, haha. I only have 25 SPR, the rest of my points are unused since I didn't know what build I wanted. Now it just gotten to the point were I feel sad if I use them.

a'ight so i just turned to lvl 23 >.<
and i can't decide what to go with DEX or STR?
i already got the 25 SPR pts so idk what to do D:
can some1 give me the pros and cons of each and which they think would be a better choice =]

STR - more dmg kill faster, there's no "cap" to STR (as in, effects doesnt diminish after a certain point), probably take more hits, need to burn a few more HP stones.. great for party archer...

DEX - more dodge rate and aim, there is a cap after 33 DEX (i think from 0.2% to 0.1% in aim and evasion..? need to double check that).. weaker dmg kill slower..

but for DEX, since i have more % in dodge rate i might get missed more even though i get hit more?

hmmm I dont have any DEX built in my archer, and if I put an aim scroll on, I don't miss the mobs that much, so I dont think that's an issue...

yea looks like i'm gonna go spr/str =]
and i guess i'll just have to make lots of scrolls for myself =]
thnx again guy/gals for the help xD

I think 1spr 1end build is good for pve u got def agains all classes and u got high hp but u can add some dex for aim as theres no reason to add spr if ur going to miss alot.
