    it depends on u. for every lvl now, ur build should be 4 dex 1 str. ur str needs to be 4 more than ur lvl, coz without it, u cant wear e latest light armor. if ur in pvp server, vit is essential for ur survival against players. if in pve server, scrap e vit.

    however, if u do want more hp, u can add 1 vit every 5 lvls or 1 vit, 1 str, 3 dex for every lvl(i don recommend tis as ur damg is more lower)b:pleased

    You don't need vit for archers. You can take it if you want, but you don't need it.

    Both are just different builds.

    If you want more damage but less survivability, go for no vit.
    If you want vice versa, go for vit but less agi.
    Everyone here is ridiculously oversensitive.

    I have made and scrapped quite a few archers and for me.....strength 4 above your level for armor and ALL the rest into Dexterity.
    For me this is the best archer.
    I use gear to increase my manna and maybe some vitality.

    an archers need for INT is to perma fly.. atleast 20iNT for perma fly but that is 15points off dex.. only 5 more points u get +1% crit! yea nightyne is right about the equip bit.. use some +2mana regen stuff for perma flight ^_^

    While you should go pure, at higher lvls I'm using gear that gives me more HP then dex, always go for HP on your equipment rather then dex (though Criticals are a different story)

    ...?


    You need to start the 4/1 build at lv1. You begin with 5 STR yes, which happens to be 1+4.
    Wondering how much longer these **** packs are going to be around.

    By the looks of your build, you got a lot less str than most people recommend. Are you keeping your strength low for weapon requirements only?
    Vitality isn't worth it on an archer, your job is to take out casters and kite the physical damage dealers. With dexterity, you evade the physical damage dealers and that's all you need. Vitality has poor results in hp, and is most recommended to just stat your gear with +HP gems. Why get vitality when you can get HP gems, best to spend points in dexterity because you can't get dexterity gems.

    I agree with IShoOtCatZ. You're probably having a hard time because you don't have enough strength to wear light armor. Your strength is recommended to be at [your level]+4 (or 39 if you're level 35). Keep increasing this each level till it is at [your level]+4, and the armor you can wear will be much better.

    And no, you don't need dexterity. But enough strength to wear your level of armor will improve your survival rate by a lot.

    As long as your str is high enough you wear light armor, then it don't matter what you have your stat points into because they are all good.

    I'd disagree with that, as would most archers on perfect world, I think.

    Yes, you need your strength high enough for light armor. You *also* need [your level] x 3 in dexterity to use the latest weapon (and for damage).

    This leaves you with exactly one point to spend every level how you want. And just about everyone agrees that should never be put into magic, and generally people agree that it is also best spent on dexterity (for damage).

    Heh, I have 15 mag for permanent flying.
    But for some reason my mana is always so low...Its regen rate is cut to 25% while fighting =/

    LOL never put magic str=ur level+4 NO MORE 3 dex per level for ur weapon

    Extra point is up to. I know some people say add to vit for pvp but to be honest MOST archers if they have any vit will restat it into dex at higher llevel. Vit doesnt do very much for archers and dex gives dodge accuracy CRIT and damage. Crit and damage are the two most important things for archers u can get hp from you're gear but u generally wont get much more crit and damage.

    Pure dex ea FTWb:victory

    I think that you should be using plume shell when you fight, to help you recover your magic. You should also be using some low power skills so you build chi, stay safe and kill faster.

    I used to have 15 mag, and I could fight in the air for hours, never landing, using this approach. (I have good magic recovery gear now, though, so I have given up my magic for dexterity.)

    Yeah pure dex is the way to go. I made the mistake of getting up to 24 vit and 8 mag, and at the mid twenties, I'm feeling the results. The extra HP doesn't help much when monsters my level take like 1/9 of my HP per hit. Once in a while I'm able to kill something before it catches up to me, but it seems like it should happening a lot more often.

    In other words, I'm wasting 400k+ on a 25point reset note -.-
