Hello glorious archers of PWI!

Recently I decided to return back to game and create a new toon. I would like to experience archer. What I want to ask is if it is worthy to play non-r9 archer?

I am not going to make anything worse than http://pwcalc.com/38a2a9322a75710c . Please, give some comments on the calc and tell me if I can enjoy playing on such archer.

Also, in a perspective, once I will merch enough money for R9,3, thats why it is not an end-game build.

    yea thats my build and is awesome altho im full dots and use jones blessing isntead of that one, if you use 15 att 15 def lvls insert josd in armor isntead theyre 2% not 1%
    normally all pvp except josd +12 ppls is 1-3hitting everyone rank 9 on average takes 3 hits perhaps all others die in 1 hit unless seekers or ha bms takes a bit more and barbs some 1 hitted some cant solo in general.. and it looks better then r9r.. so its a very good build unless u have billions wich u dont need then ofc r9r is better but refines give a lot as well

    actually this is my exact gear + engraving on necklace +9 dex..

    BUT
    14915-20119 this is BS

    my real dmg with 0 buffs is 17465 - 23559
    crit is 38% not 35%,

    but 150 lower def and 100 lower mdef

    but if i put all buffs on and sage barb buff and NW token buff im only 103 so it sux its only 18% i think instead of 40% on lvl 105 (is why i want it so bad and so annoying doing 6nix runs per day) i still hit a lot..

    now i only need refines to survive those r9r +12 to run away in time and ninja them while theyre afk ;P nah kiddin i actually can kill them quite easy if i spark :)

    edit: but usually they kill me first then they see that i spark cos of my low refines unless i ironguard but they can do the same >.> :P

    @Bhav I will surely have swapping g14 cube neck.

    @Ignathas Again, it's not my endgame build, if I get bored of merching R9, I will shard whole set with DoT/Vit stones and refine it to +10, also will swap weapon to recasted Warsoul.

    Yea thats basically my build too, with the exception of using the seal of eternal solitude, get another lunar or a skycover. For archer v archer fights you need as much accuracy as possible, and is nice on sins too. For an archer you need both mag and phys defense ornaments because we lack both types of defense with LA armor. Use 2 phys rings, and 1 phys neck/belt with the other being mag. I use mag belt and phys neck

    Both R9 and non-R9 archers bow me in NW to death easily so yes it's worth making one from my experience fighting them, I'm actually making one myself for that purpose specifically.
