    Dont spend a lot on mage, barely any actually as you dont need it. I went for the mass dexterity option and went from a phase of putting all my 5 points into dex untill i got to 160, I only had 20 str and vit though so it came at a price of getting mass damage from other mobs. I took a break from dex and worked on my str a little bit but I ht fine for any monsters and can kill them before they touch me. But for archer you really want to work on dex at the start then improve your other attributes later depending on what you need

    You can also go with 4 dex and 1 strenth per level and for me I put instead of one strenth one vitality every 5 levels. :)

    that's not good build

    archers need to have 4 more str than their lvl all the time to wear armor and weapons

    so a lvl 50 should have 54 str

    a lvl 23 should have 27

    get it?

    you must put 1 str per lvl not vit and the 4 others in dex

    pure dex r weak at low lvls yeah, but at higher lvl u kill most of mobs before they get to you. put hp gems in gears so u can handle more mobs.

    Let me reiterate the amazingness of a pure dex archer.

    Not only is dex a survival stat (increases evasion), it is also a damage stat (increases base ranged dmg and crit chance), and an efficiency stat (damage per mana goes up because youre doing much more damage per fixed cost of mana).

    Put it simply, once you get through the hell that is level 18 (and trust me, it is pretty bad), you will demolish mobs thanks to the FB19 xbow. It's not uncommon for me to crit as high as 1800 on a mob my level with rank 1 take aim.
