are you refering to a DD(Pure Damage) type of archer??
Disclaimer: i didnt do whatever ill say here, i dont have any idea when i start playing this game and i just bought some resets to make my build a little bit balanced.
yes you can start by 1:1 SPR:STR until SPR is 25...then you can put all the stats on STR...its not like its so bad to exceed 25 SPR. It still adds a hell lot of SP and still increases crit a bit. so if you want you can put some SPRs too whenever you like...
Equips....NEVER...as in NEVER....wear any equips WITHOUT END....thats the only way you can get your HP up....its ok to wear an equip with +INT on it as long as it has +49715896 END...lol sarcasm! trust me, yes you can hit hard....but without END, youre hitting hard for just like 2 secs to a high hitting monster/player...
for empowerment....AIM shot and POWER shot are the best skills at the beginning and the highest damages at the later levels...so i suggest CD and you choose between POWER or SP...heres a hint:
if youre planning on the SPR above 25, dont empower SP consumption anymore since were pretty sure you'll have a lots of SP with you....you get the point so i dont have to type the other way around right??(lazy)
DoT skills should all be CD or SP....but i dont get the point empowering CD on it if your just hitting 1 monster at a time...
but yeah it all depends on the style...spam spam spam = cooldown empowerment...
i think thats everything i have to say since you dont use AOE...just leave it there...lol!
