OB - Which Build & Empower?

[O-mie]

Yeah, I was only going to get spr to 25 and was thinking of going 5:1 str/end after that, or something similar. The thing with crits is that, people forget that archers get a bit of a crit bonus and also their weapon adds crit. If you use a green crossbow, thats +7% crit right there.

ill probly go spr till 25 then...ill find out then

i'm kind of split, my stats were scattered in CB. i ended up with mostly str, about 6 spr, some dex, and some end. with those few points of end i was finally able to survive mara's aoe which is definately good cause that's one less life wasted so i was thinking of going 2:1 str:end but i also loved those crits. maybe i'll just put the bonus points from job change in spr and i'll completely ignore dex this time unlike last time when i put a few points in it

I am planning for the future,


Strength:
When you start strength is very effective, say you are level 5 and you do 10 damage every hit, If you put 5 points into strength this goes up to 16 every hit which is a major 60% increase!

However,

Now you are level 100, and you do 1000 damage every hit, if you put 100 points into strength then you only have a 10% bonus, instead of 60, this trend continues the higher you go.
Average damage per shot = 1100
------------------------------------
Spirit:
You are level 5 again and do 10 damage per hit, but you decide to put 5 points in spirit instead. This gives you a 1% increase to critical hits and a little sp and Mdef. A 1% chance of doing 10 extra damage(assuming critical hits are double damage) is a mere 1% increase in damage over time.

However,

Now your level 100, and you do 1000 damage every hit, you have put 100 points into spirit which increases your critical hit rate by 12.5%. Your average bonus damage from the extra crits would be 125/shot
Average damage per shot = 1125 (added benefits of SP and magic defense)

------------------------------------

Dex:
First off I have never missed a shot as an archer, my dex is my highest stat even though I have never put a point into it. The higher I get the more I will dodge naturally, and I will always have more dex then other classes. The higher you get the less usefull this will be, I would rather kill my opponent before he gets to me anyway.

------------------------------------

Int:
Useless for an archer

------------------------------------

End:
Adds hp, def, and shield block

HP/def- You may very well need to up this some, I imagine higher level bosses will have some form of AE's or ways to damage you at range, and you can't shoot if your dead. I will possibly put my points from class changes into this.
Shield block- useless for archer

I was thinking about going 3:1 Spr:Dex in my Archer. The extra Dex is needed for the extra Evasion so that the monster always misses me. <3

[Destrus]

i was doing 2:1 str:end but i'm thinking of switching that to 3:1

[CLONstyle]

My archer is a full SPR till lvl 20 (when i manage to get +25 SPR), and then go for 1:1 STR,DEX for damage

Nothing feels better than an archer owning everything with criticals....

[mashin]

in CB i've tryed full DEX and FULL str build.

Full dex is the wrost. Very Very low evasion. Mob land 4 hit each 5.

Full Str is good at low lv. But some1 said that at higher lv the bonus is not so good.

in OB i've put 25 points in SPR and now i dont know if go trought STR or DEX.
With OB it seems that evasion works better than CB. With no extra dex at lv 22 mobs miss me quite often. Maybe i'll go dex (with crossbow i cant kitte easly)
My regular damage sux a little, but crits are awesome. Specially when i crit on skill.
So maybe i'll go with strenght or full Spr.
No end. I don't like pvp and for pve i'm trying to kill mobs before the can touch me.

I dunno what enpower do.
