Chriszed's Archer Guide!

[Valentines]

Very useful guide.

Well done.

[Blaaaaaaaah]

This guide would look useful to me for my nub archer. o:

Maybe try formatting the guide so it's easier to read and more enjoyable for the eye.

i disagree as far as spr vs. str, but other than that, good guide.

Xbow better than bow only for skill ? Oo

xbow has double dmg, higher crit rate, more damage bonus when enchanted than bow.
Less aim (with natural dex bonus is not so bad), less atk speed. But look at atk speed and dmg ratio.... xbow >> bow .... for everything!

And 1 thing...if Warrior take 150 dmg by a monster, archer will get 300 by the same monster if not even more...and 150 for warrior is a little % of total HP, 300 for archer is 25% of his total life......
For what i had seen evasion dont work so good. Moster miss 1 hit ever 5... not 3 every5 .....

1. I will add a pvp section when pvp officially comes out and i try it.

2. A bow will kill the monster faster with regular attack than a crossbow but a crossbow does way more damage with skills.

3. I know i made the STR vs. SPR like years ago now i'm all for SPR. I'll change it when i get around to it.

4. Ok mabye i messed up there but i just wanted to show how good evasion can be.

5. Ya i might make a V2 if this one get alot of hits.
I never realized this but archers have the highest crit rate.

uhm.... 1.1 atk/s (bow) vs 1.4 atk/s (xbow). To make easy the match suppose 1 and 1.5.
That means that in 3 sec bow shoot 3 arrow, xbow 2.
Now look at the average damage of the weapon. Lv 20 weapon for example.
Bow 30, Xbow 70. Maybe this number are not 100% corretc.

Damge in 3 sec: 3 * 30 = 90 (bow) 2 * 70 = 140 (xbow)

Who will kill monster faster? And xbow have higher % crit rate too... so with N shoot the damage difference will be even more.
And more if u put enchant on weapon xbow will get even more damage bonus.
Imho Xbow >> bow 4 everything ^_^

Acutally it's more like 40 for bow and 50 for crossbow at lvl 20.
