OB - Which Build & Empower?

[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....

That's what I plan to do. I have scroll production so I'll just use that for extra HP and DEF. And I suppose if I really need more END or something I can use a ring too.

I'm still going full Dex as Kuhn has inspired me to do so.

Also, adding abit of Str in there.

That wouldn't be full dex. =[

As for my archer's stats, I'm just improvising.

I'm actually making four archers, because I didn't decide I wanted an archer in CB, so now I need to test everything in OB =/

Build #1(PvM): 3:1 STR:END
Pretty straight forward, a damage build with a bit of END. Going to use a crossbow.
Build #2 (PvP: 2:1 END:STR
My PvP whore XD. I'm not sure if I'm going to make this an archer, all I know is that I will have a PvP account. Going to find out all the skills for the classes, and decide on my PvP class. Anyways, if it does end up being an archer, it'll have enough END to tank a few hits and enough STR to actually kill people. Will use a bow.
Build #3 (PvM): 1:1 STR: SPR
Testing this for efficiency, to see if it'll be faster than build #1. Will use a crossbow.
Build #4 (PvM): 3:2:1 DEX:STR:END
My weird build. Doing this for testing to, and it's weapon of choice will most likely be a crossbow.

I'm going to hold some tests once all of my PvM builds hit 15 to see which is the most efficient, and that is the one I will continue.

I'll tell you now that your first build will level pretty fast cause that's what I used in CB. It did great damage and was able to take some hits. With a cleric around I was able to run up in front of the others to kill monsters in KQ. :P

In terms of PvP I don't know how much that END will help since a lot of people has been arguing that because we don't use shields the block rate part is wasted. But what do I know since I avoid PvP in all games...

Anyway, good luck with the builds.

You'll have to tell us how they turn out :3

i go with 2:1 ENDEX, i love it cuz if the monster gets to me the damage isnt as often

and as for empowers, cooldown on multishot is good, then damage and the buff time on the poison and curse shots and the others dont make much difference

gonna go 2:1 spr:dex till i have 25 spr, then switch to 2:1 str:dex.

at first i was against a dex intensive build, but the more i play, the more i start to think it will work. I also feel my build will level kinda slow at first, but its a long run build, so i'll see the fruits of my labor in later levels.

I also think this might be a decent (although not great) PvP build.
