Archer empowerments..

Villi · 01-04-2009, 12:44 PM

Okay, my new archer's just lvl 22 atm, i've tested the pure dex, str, hybrid and stuff. satisfied with 25spr/rest str now and will be that.

But now, the empowerments, i have maxed the dmg of aimed and power shots, thinking about minimazing cd of both and some in poison/bone shot cd's, but i've never been higher than 30 on archer, so are there maybe some MUST DO's like devastate on fighter, heal on cleric, mm1 on mage etc?
I'd like to know them

checked all the guides, but they're all different, i'm looking for a good pvp archer.

So, give me some advice

For archers, I know must do's are with the poison AoEs.

I would start empowering Mist at lvl 51, and start saving up points for Piercing at 67. The standard is max cooldown, but I recommend adding in attack power or sp (power for attracting aggro, maybe sp as they burn SP quite a bit e_e)
Aimed and Power Shot is a must too xD Max attack power/cooldown seems like a good choice.

>edit
Oh wait PvP archer LOL.
The above is mainly for PvE, since archers are amazing AoE solo'ers (and partiers in the right condition) xD Not sure what to recommend for PvP haha.

hmm..ohh okay, that'll do

max power/cd of aimed/power should do for pvp

Disclaimer: I am not a PvP archer.

Yea max CD of your skills that have a cast time would be a start. I personally would concentrate on aim since faster cast time and longer distance

My empowerment priority would be

Aim Shot>Power Shot>Poison Shot>Bone Shot>Mist>Piercing Shot>Venom Shot

^ I really really wish they would fix venom shot's animation/cast time. It was long enough already, and they doubled it e_e I hardly use it unless against bosses/higher hp mobs

ARE a must to empower:
aimed shot = max DMG/CD
power shot = max DMG/CD
nature's mist = max CD
Piercing shot = max CD

alternate (really depend on you if you want to empower)
Multi shot = max DMG/CD

you will still have reserved points for future archer skills

my build is 25 SPR/all STR (bow user, dunno why

)

For PvP:
Well, how could i comment on this.

Archers can only kill fellow archers and mages. No chance for fighters at same level or -10 lvls (and for those who said they can, dont kid yourself). Impractical to kill clerics. Kiting is your only strategy. Prepare to be called a coward coz they WILL call you that eventually.
