Full Dex or Spr(Good or Bad?)

[Shoy]

Im a lvl 20 archer and i went full dex, i dont have a problem hunting cause i can combo skills back to back (and i've been decreasing the cooldowns for them). i also thought about making a Full spr when OB comes out, since being u can crit skills, im not sure if u can miss crits(need to find this out).
also the extra sp would come in handy since i spam skills like no 2morrow xD. would he be as powerful as a full str archer?

Archer's do not need DEX. Dex only accounts for aim and evasion, which aren't as important as the other stats. You get sufficient DEX from leveling itself so you will hardly miss. You can try full SPR or STR, though you need to be at least level 30 to see and real change in crit.

i see, well its worth a shot. think ill test it out before they close the game =P

archers dont need dex=X

str make for the dmg of the bow

spr archer.. yes i also tried it.. but not high enough to make conclusions about it
this build can crit alot. can also hurt real bad holding a crossbow

I went full DEX on mine..

I evade at least half of the hits from monsters around my level but it takes forever to kill them.

I'm going with END and SPR, and I'll see how that works until level 20...

I went 1:1 STR/DEX, worked decently for me.

There's no real reason to put in DEX seeing as you gain a ton per level. STR:END in some ratio is probably better.

Maybe a 3:1 STR:END or something.

we are archers, sure we get added dex a lvl but i wonder how effective it is just to depend on the bare minimum for dex.

end isn't too important for archers, as the point of the archer is to kill the enemy in 5 hits or less so you take no damage, or at most 1 hit. SOME dex is necessary, although i dont agree with all the people with dex intensive builds. enough to ensure that most shots hit and you will dodge that first hit with some consistancy is all one should need i would think.

It will make lower levels a bit tougher to get through, but about by the time you get to level 20ish, if you are piling up on Spr and Str, then using skill points to lower cooldown and SP consumption of 1 or 2 key specials, you would be a pretty beastish archer. spamming aimed shot and getting a crit every other shot would have a lot of potential to dominate.

my current build is all messed up, but when open beta starts, i'm gonna go 2:2:1 str:spr:dex, see how that works out for me.
