    Well I know very little of this game, much less the higher levels, but of the threads I have read alot of people prefer the "pure dex" archer going 4:1 dex:str every lvl, so they can wear light armor, and do crazy damage. Of course this isn't without drawbacks, such as low hp and defense, so some people go hybrid with either a 3:1:1 dex:str:vit or 7:2:1 dex:str:vit Anyways it is up to you how you play, and there are always stat resets if you really wnat to.

    you need more str.

    you -must- have str = lvl+4 in order to wear your light armor.

    so, thats what you have to get asap.

    furthermore, how much did that 7 points in vit help you?

    i'd say those 7 points in dex would've been more useful =D

    so yea, 1 str 4 dex is a great build.

    heh well, you know i like to be forceful about the PURE DAMAGE ONLY build.

    but really? 4 points isn't going to make a difference, one way or the other.

    its just something i really care about, 's all =D

    all in all, your build is solid, just make sure you have enough str for your armor.

    for a long time i was under the impression my skills were not good. lvl 65 archer with 44 vit, but it seriously is not worth all the dex in my oppinion. If your a pure dex then yes chances are better to kill no doubt... but u pull more agro and you have less health to withstand damage... So your a one hit kill for any boss...
    and for the record i do as much damage as a pure dex build! i got a solarslayer leg wepon and im doin fine! if ur unexperianced like i was wen i started this game... dont make a pure dex build thats my oppinion from one archer to another

    Have you not read previous posts? Your STR MUST be your lvl +4 or you will not be able to equip your lvls Light Armor. If you leave it at 33 Str, you will never again be able to buy higher lvl light armor..
