[O-mie]

Now, lets see. I'm level 40 on my archer, and I have a hybrid build of SPR, end, and some strength. Usually, Its more beneficial to level on much higher mobs with a party, and higher mobs (in my experience) NEVER miss me.

As for END and archers tanking things, I end up tanking things quite a lot when we lack a fighter. (Archers, in my opinion, are the next best tanks since we can hold hate from our high damage, and are quite a bit more hardy than a mage is)

However, DEX is good too for higher things because you get more aim. So if you're indecisive, do a 1:1 end/dex thing if you're worried about it. (That's actually my focus as soon as I hit 25 SPR)
