What is the main build for a archer?

What are the different stats you can choose from for ur character?

eg. int-dex-sta-str (thats from my experience from other mmo's)

I would like a archer with great speed/great bow damage what stats would i needa add?

    3 Agi, 1 Str, 1 Con is common. 4 Agi, and 1 Str per level is also cool.

    ... Personally, I prefer to minimize Str and Agi, and then pump Con.

    you realistically can't!

    The stat requirements for Archer weapons (bow/crossbow/slingshot) require strength.
    And it is true that to be able to weild the best weapon for your level you should have 4 levels of strength above your level (level 50 has 54 strength)

    This then works to the fact you add +1 every level. As you start at level 1 with 5 strength... 2 with 6 STR, 3 with 7 STR etc

    For better attack speed your best using slingshots, for better damage your best of using crossbows. For a nice comprimise bows are best.

    I personally use +1 STR +4 AGI every level.

    But I wear a lot of +HP stuff and am always ready to use wing barrier :)

    all agi would be good but u wont be able to wear armour basically 4 agi 1 strength is a good build but sometimes u may find ur self dying quickly if u dont use skills proberly. but that build kills most mobs before they get to touch you

    Some guy recommended to me a pure INT EA for hunting. Would that work?

    Pure int is okay but you have to use a Magic Bow and that lowers your patk a lot.

    I think Pure Agility is best for PvP, you shouldnt really add con, unless you plan to get hit.

    You think in fights you wont get hit? ....Seems like everybody would be the Class that never gets hit =/

    Maybe you should try and pvp a bit more before u give advice.

    That's the point of an archer, the further the mob, the higher the damage. If you go full agility(offcourse with the minimum of STR) you'll be able to kill the mob before it hits you, especially with the knockback and the slow skill. The slow skill takes vigour points and not many mana, and if you keep knockback at the lowest lvl (the only reason you need the skill is for the knockback, not the damage) you shouldn't need that many mana pots.

    I dont plan to get hit, but like it or not I will.

    Builds should be balanced, unless you really love to PvP/PK but if you wanna start PvP/PK you gotta start LvLing.

    I'd say minium requirement for armor/x[bow] or slingshot and rest to con, it sounds like a good build to me...

    any comments on anyone that has actually used this build im talking about_?

    Did you actually ever played this game? You gonna regret it if you make a hybrid. Most of the higher levels restat to agility.

    With pure agility, you'll be able to kill the mob before it even hits you. It's actually you who'll need the potions... And you don't make a balanced character at all, you choose an attacker to become a tank?

    Hybrids are only good on the lower levels, on higher level you'll spend tons of money on restat scrolls so be smart from lvl 1, and learn how to deal with tuff battles (hit/run).

    So what you guys are trying to say in the end is:

    ''Every lvl +1 Str. +4 Agility. is the best way to go.''

    Yes. Pure agility is best, imo.

    Archer can die fast period. Might as well make the most of your build from the get-go and save yourself a restat later. Archer gets a knockback at level 19, after thats it's easy mode *on*. Pure is better for pve, and hybrid is only good for pvp up until around level 70, after that pure is better. Just roll a pure don't **** the build up, get HP soulstones in your armor, and thank us later, lol.

    Pure = Full Dex? :confused:

    Ah I hate this period of me being a complete wuzz at this game...

    Pure = 1 str, 4 agility per level. They might call agility dexterity in this version, but that is the pure build.

    Alright, I'll go pure but will personally add 1 or 2 points of Con. the first 20-30 lvl's then.

    I prefer hybrid, before I was hybrid I had trouble with mage mobs. I would kill like 1, or 2 mobs before I need to pot, but when I was a hybrid, I could kill 5-9 mobs before I need to pot. My level 46 archer's natural stats are 52 con 5 int 50 strength 138 agility and I have 1846 HP 1046 MP. Though, I heard pure dex archers are supposedly the faster leveler.
