Hey, I want YOUR opinions!

Alright, got this crazy idea one day that I'm very serious about while I was on my cleric doing a red bubble. "Why am I standing here casting this? I was in on some action other than the potion screen!"
Made an archer and sat there at lvl 20 looking at my stat points going. "Well hell, I want something more than pure dex build of 1str and 4dex!" I decided to make a 9dex 1str build and its hardly even that. I put points in my strength so I can wield all the weapons but only wear the armor that matches the max strength of my weapons requirement.Currently at lvl 40, my faction kinda laughed at me at first but after crunching numbers I got this, and they think I might be on something.
Lvl 70 with the TT70 crossbow and TT70 armor pure dex build, vs my archer build nude with only the TT 70 crossbow. I will do more damage by more that 600, higher evasion by 400+ higher accuracy of another 400+ and I'll have more points in dex than the tt armor would give you on top of your already 'high' dex. I'll have a 2% higher chance to critical too.
I've also got a Longevity genie I've put all the points into strength on, and taught it leaf dance second wind and tangling mire, its 5th spell will be holy path when it gets enough attribute points.
Laugh, mock, I don't care, but I do want to hear what you all have to say. And as far as I know, I'm the first to publicly admit this is my build, as I can not find anything on any forum or guide about my idea.
-=-Update-=-
Well, lvl 53 now, thought I'd give people an update.
I have 10 vitality, 43 strength, 5 magic, and 222 dexterity points. My critical's are at 12%. All without armor. With I end up at 240 dex and 14% for critical's. I'm wearing my rank 1 armor and other lvl 30+ equipment, and good ornaments, even if they are a little out dated.
I can take any mob my lvl and 4 levels higher than me without getting hit, and my best critical was 9600+ on deadly shot, with an average of 3000-4000 for my normal attacks when they critical. I'm outside of most bosses aoe's or know the timing well enough to run out of them without being hit.
I've personally achieved my hoped results so far, and beyond. Won in a duel at lvl 43 against a mage that was lvl 73 in under 5 seconds without critical hits, I plan to find a willing archer or heavy armor user to test other battle techniques on.

You misunderstood. He's not talking about restatting:I put points in my strength so I can wield all the weapons but only wear the armor that matches the max strength of my weapons requirement.
Though I really hope that he is not talking about that, because that'd be highly ****, because that'd mean that by level 100, you'd be with like 50 strength.
Basically, the 1 str/level thing comes from the fact that this puts you at exactly the requirement for light armor of your own level. Certain pieces of equipment will have +strength on them, which you can then restat to dexterity for more damage.
In my case, I got 84 base strength, level 92.If you disregard what I say because of who I am or because of the contents of what I said, you are a fool.

in that case, that build is pretty damn stupid.
late game its all about farming TT,Lunar,Nirvana...
Good luck taking even a single aoe hit from the bosses and mobs with your fail low lvl gear.0 -
So technically @ lvl 100, you'll be wearing lvl 50 gear. Which means you'll be 1 shot to mostly everyone, and perhaps even those 10~20 levels below you if they happen to get the first shot off.
The only way this would work out if you have enough Str bonus from your gears. Here's a build i did using 9 Dex 1 Str.

I didn't add shards/refines. This is for the sole purpose of showing what you can do with the right amount of Str gear.0 -
I'm not wearing armor or craftsmen item, is what I'm saying. If I do this right with the right rings, belts, and necklaces, I can manage to get my TT70 armor at 95 for example, and my dex would then beat that of a pure dex build at 95Its a pleasure to meet you, no really it is, want some help?

Probably irrelevant, but you'd get much more DPS if you had Rank IV/VI/VIII chest and Ashura's Wrists and boots.
Also, if you're gonna put that much gear into it, you should use The Three Scholars which is the +45 STR tome from Scroll of Tome.If you disregard what I say because of who I am or because of the contents of what I said, you are a fool.

1. This is not a dps, dd, or whatever build. This is just purely an example to show that it is possible to wear up to date gear if you carefully select your gear with the 9 Dex 1 Str distribution.
2. the +45 Str tome is highly unattainable unless you have a spare 150m laying around or get lucky in packs.
3. I only put Nirvana gear because it is Level 100 and has the highest Str requirement.0 -
Uhm... Either this is Troll or you are really serious about this and think it's a good idea.
Not only are Archers squishy as it is with up to date gear, but to be lv 95 with TT70 armour is just plain stupid.
Your phys & mag defense will be so low it won't even matter how great your necklace, ring and belt are. Unless you plan on CSing +9 and +10 refines of this TT70 gear of yours, I really suggest going back to 1 str 4 dex every level. I mean, if you really want the extra dex do this:
Get some ornaments with +Str & keep for them on so you can wear your level's armour, then put the rest in Dex. At this point, I have 86 base str - with add-on's it's 93. Of course, this str is coming from my wristbands & bow, so when I get to lv 88~90, I'm going to have to add up all the str I'm missing so I can equip my TT90 gears. (WHICH YOU SHOULD BE WEARING IN YOUR 90'S! Not TT70!) With this, I'm doing atleast 7k normal attacks... Yeah.
And if you really want the extra POW! in your attacks, get gear or ornaments with + Dex. I think I have around 358 with my add-ons. Not sure what it is base wise. With gear and everything, it adds up to 21% crit rate.
But please don't run around at lvl 90 with TT70 gear... it sucks in general. Atleast get TT80 Gold. Otherwise you'll be called fail and get killed a lot. Not good for the ego.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

This seems to be the best I can do with a level 95 build: http://pwcalc.ru/pwi/?char=229c6ae8dd91c763
Heaven Shatterer requires 52 Strength. The Strength of the character I made is 64. This is 12 Strength off from the cap you suggested.
You would need to get to rank 6, exploiting the fact that the rank armors (chest and leggings) do not have any Strength requirement.
- The Chest is just awesome. The bases stats are better than TT90, and the bonuses are -Interval, +Dex, and +HP.
- The Leggings are similar to the TT80 Gold leggings. Same base stats, bonuses are comparable.
- The Wrists is the Bracers of Blood Moon. Compared to TT90, it has a higher Physical Resistance (due to bonus), but lower Magical Resistance. This piece of equipment violates your "Strength is capped by weapon strength requirement" since it requires 64 Strength, but the -Interval more than makes up for it if your intention is offensive power.
- The Boots are the Boots of Tiger Strength, a decent mold for an archer in the 50s, 60s, and maybe 70s.
- The hat is Ence's Scar, which most traditional archers would consider garbage, but may be the best for your needs.
Nothing else requires Strength, so there is no need to discuss the rest of the gear.
If you follow the build I suggested, then the only items in your equipment that are "out of place" are the shoes and hat. The Bracers are awesome enough that it would warrant restatting 12 Dex into Strength (the -Interval makes up for the damage loss).
However, this build requires an investment (in either time or real life money) to get to Rank 6, as well as that hat and cape. This is doable for non-cashshoppers, but it would be difficult and most likely require lots of merchanting.
Furthermore, when you reach level 99/100, the set bonus available in the TT99 LA armor is -0.05 interval (great for offense), and the equipment bonuses themselves are very nice in terms of both offense and defense. So while your "purer-than-pure-dex" build may have more offensive power at 95, it may not be true at level 99. I haven't done a comparison so I cannot say for certain, but you may want to look into it.
PS: In place of the OHT belt listed, you can use the Mogwai Belt, which gives +5~6 Str and +5~6 Dex as bonuses. This technically gives you more offensive power than the OHT belt listed. However, the HP bonuses on the OHT belt are not insignificant.
PSS: Here are two more builds for comparison. Both are Rank 6 and use Heavenrage Boots.
- TT90 Green + BoBM: http://pwcalc.ru/pwi/?char=23de7b3388c06f9d
- TT90 Gold: http://pwcalc.ru/pwi/?char=4f4e4dd77493c6d80 -
There's an assassin who started doing this a while back. Adding only enough strength for the most up to date weapon and statting rest in dex. He's even got some people convinced that it's a viable build now despite never actually getting past level 30.
You can see some of his threads here:

The problem with this build is that it works fine at lower levels but not at endgame when you need to PvP. At lower levels, the difference in defense between say level 40 armor and level 70 armor isn't that big. If you shard with average/flawless citrines for both, HP is also comparable. You find yourself doing more damage while still being able to survive almost as well and it's great. You may even kill others with the 4-1 build.
Where you start noticing a big difference is at higher levels for 2 reasons. Better armor can eventually get better shards put in them. When you start refining +10 or +12, the HP difference between nirvana gear and level 70 gear is big (if you're even foolish enough to refine 70 gear to +12). By the time you start to do serious PvP and realize the lack of HP and defenses is really bad, it's too late and you will restat.0 -

You realize in TW, there's not gonna be just robe classes coming at you. BMs WILL be there aoeing you and everyone else. You'll be down before you can even cast a single skill or target a robe classes. GL with this build if you plan on TWing.
And yes, I would probably rather be fully geared than someone without gear... But you realize if I, or anyone for that matter, hit you first, that hit would be enough to KO you?[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

I originally thought that you were just trying to maximize your Dex. So I was trying to help you out by posting a build that has enough Str from ornaments/cape/tome to wear Lvl 100 Light Armor, but it seems you insist on going naked.
If you've ever been in a real TW, especially at 85+, you would know that archers are incapable of One-shotting ANYTHING unless you have +10 refines on your Weapon. And because there's so many people, you will get hit, and with your HH70 armor, you will die in one shot.
So yes, in terms of what you are trying to do, you are fail. Sure at 90+ you would have what...50+ more Dex than a Pure Bred, but you will have a defense and HP of a 70 [which I, and every other 90+, one-shot easily]
Also at 90+, Wizards get a superior Physical Defense skill, Clerics can out-heal our Damage or just Sleep you, Venos have Nixes and some are HA build.l
Also, Damage is reduced by 75% in PvP/TW. Accuracy for an archer is not needed unless you're going against another archer [but it's always nice to have]. Evasion...well, let's just say it doesn't work as we'd like it to. BM's and Barb's usually have equipped Accuracy rings which give them more than enough to not miss as much as they should. And Mages...don't...miss...0 -

lol
for what ur trying to do.... i'd recommend just rerolling a wiz since u want 1 shot power. Archers will never compare in APH to a wizard, it is just our versatility and our DPS that puts us ahead of them.
just another noob trying to defy EVERYBODY....
there is a reason why people go a certain path or choose a certain build..
because it's the best...
good luck getting 1 shot by every class 20 lvls under you as well as mobs and boss aoe's. you will spend more time waiting for a rez than exploiting your "uber damage".0 -

i saw a post above , that BMs and other classes will be in TW too . Surely max dex will be really useful but on the other hand a alot can happen in TW , a cleric /veno/wiz/psy will find u and kill u before u even know. go the safe way , equip the awesome TT 90 green armor and go pown people with a lunar max bow. i really doubt ull laugh at us , maybe crying and asking to buy a reset scroll. And calling ur post troll is logical for sth that extreme. no offence though . if u want to try it , do it , afterall its ur toon u controlProud Male Venomancer <

i have 2 archers this way one on lv 70 & one still active lv 83 - the 83 archer's fighting method (even before JJ's blessing) sling + iron ore + max range, Frost arrow, normal hit x's 4-6 = mob dead before it attacks.
Currently i'm getting a lot of str from gear & will soon restat, this means lv 40-44 armor. I'm going to get 1-2 hit anyways i'm just trying to return the favor (without spending countless hours/frustration farming TT).
doing this as an archer is nice PvE grind but risky at low-mid levels.
doing this as an arcane veno simply takes aggro from any pet.
doing this as a cleric is masochistic.
doing this as a wiz imo is recommended ^_^
doing this as a psy also works well.
If making a purer build char you must overcome stealing aggro from barbs during parties..any of these will work.. equip a lower weapon, stop every few hits, use lowest ammunition(for archers), mix in bleed skills to slow your attacks.mmorpg is R'lyehian for: Innumerable quantities of grown babies

Do you plan on using this build at 100? If so, can you show your projected equips on PWcalc at level 100. Assuming you haven't spent 1 billion coin on your character and gotten rank 8.0

Even if you have a rank 8 weapon, rank 8 chest, and in general rank 8 armor, you still wont beat other non-purer archers in terms of damage over time and survivability.
Why?
Only 3 decent pieces come out of rank 8:- Bow (-0.1 int)
- Chest (-0.1 int)
- Ring
To match other heavily equipped archers you need:- Nirvana Pants (-0.05 int)
- Good Ornaments
- Lunar Glade Cape (-0.05 int)
- HH99 Wrists (-0.1 int)
- HH99 Set (-0.05 int)
- Good Ornaments (Refining makes HH99 nirvana > Rank 8)
So a pure rank 8 archers do not compare to others who use non-rank 8 pieces in addition to their rank 8.
With that said, to even use Nirvana Wrists or HH99 means you cannot go "purer" in any sort of way.0 -

get rank 8, no str requirements

I've run different equipment atleast 10-20 times on a lvl 100 build on the calculator, I'll have at least 33-35% crit rate when I'm lvl 100, beating others at a measly 22-25%. Do the math and you may argue being able to attack faster would mean more criticals in a shorter amount of time, but i argue if you want to use elemental attacks against a heavy armor user instead of shooting spitballs at them, the intervals don't matter because of skill cast and channel times. So while I'll hit bigger crits more often than you, it makes up for the slower intervals because you need skills to do serious damage in most cases.
I also run that calculation at no refinements on any of my armor or equipment and in cases without even my rank 8 gear. If I were to spend money and refine, I could be out damaging you in normal hits by 3-5k easily,and with my higher crit rate, that simple surpassing damage doubles. I also would like to point out if intervals REALLY matter to you,there is apo potions that decrease intervals dramatically, imagine my crit rate plus one of those, I'd out damage you so badly I couldn't laugh hard enough at myself.
So no, I'm not blindly pursuing something I have no idea what I'm walking into, I've planned this out as best as I possibly could. Level by level till 100.
@Devils_Arrow: Understand your point of view and those have come to my mind, but I'm quite set on wanting to see how well this turns out. And I'll gladly look you up, none taken.
@ Mogwai: Thank you for informing me that I was not only not first to post this, but definitely not the first to try as well, its no wonder I didn't find it, February 18th 2009 was the last post b:laughIts a pleasure to meet you, no really it is, want some help?
