    You need a constant increase in strength in order to wear your armor.
    I suggest either the 1S 4D pure build or the 1V 1S 3D hybrid build.

    1S 4D is pure damage, but doing that would make you like what we call PAPER. Your so easy to kill but with high Dex, you would return far more damage, you would hardly miss one attack, your Crit rate would be CRAZYLY high and your Evasion would be good. Its not bad build but you must watch your life espcially when fighting Bosses because pulling Agro would be easy

    You make the 'Pure' build sound a lot more EXTREME than it actually is, a lot of archers go pure, no, the crit rate is not rediculous, its a bit higher than hybrid. Paper? pure archers have depending on gear maybe 25% less HP than hybrid archers. You miss a similar amount of attacks -- and imo archers shoudnt watch their life, they should watch their mob and make sure it doesnt find a reason to hit them.

    If you want a little bit of vitality to ease you into the game as your build suggestion implies, i'd put it in at the start, thats going to be where you need it most, you could for example put 1 vitality per level until you reached 20 or 25 vit, then leave it and stat 4dex 1str per level. That being said, im pure and pure FTW.

    I have been going with what annor has said in a few threads now about this and i got my vit at 25 atm and also put 5 points into mag but the rest into dex and str just to get best armor and it has worked alot better then the pure dex
    at first i went pure dex and i hated when i missed and mob would 2-3 hit me and have my hp down 50% but then again its up to u
    be squishy and ultra high dmg
    or
    be a bit more fluffy and have high damage( really not much difference if u put 20points into vit)

    As I say in other threads, it depends on what you want to do.

    For TW, Group PVP, Grinding and HH I recommend hybrid. Reasoning..you need to survive longer. In TW, you need to live so after you kill someone you can go on to the next person...namely clerics. If you kill someone and die right away its kinda pointless. Goup Pvp..same thing. HH bosses aoe..you need to survive a bit until the cleric heal you or your heiro ticks in. For grinding, you rarely get to kill a mob and heal before another attacks you. Putting vit will help you survive more especially on increased life mobs.

    For single PVP I would recommend pure dex. This is good if you want to sneak up on someone and snipe them quickly and then go on your way. I haven't played a pure dex archer but this is what i think.

    So, its all up on what you decide to do

    pfff i tw fine with no base vit, the key is to at least +2 your armor, get 4 socket with citrines and possible some vit bonus off gears/ornaments although you should shoot for high crit/dex too
    when you get a 75% bonus hp or so from equips youll look back at that vit and think wow that doesnt help enough to justify the dex/crit/accuracy/evasion loss

    Lol.. some people recommend capping VIT/CON at 50... but seriously what does 540 hp change ? Absolutely nothing. Pure DEX/AGI is the way to go, get hp in sockets.
