About the attack and defense lvl

you dont upgrade that until lvl 99+ really and thats rare, mostly comes from super duper high (lvl 12 or lvl 12s combined to make 1) soulgems

I have noticed more and more archers are complaining about there lack of MP using that straight 4 DEX/1 STR build. Hint, if you need more MP, spend a few points in MAG. (donning flame retardant underwear) I'll be lvl 58 today and I can grind for about a half hour before I need to start watching my MP drain. Doesn't seem like much but consider I tend to fire four shots at a target, Aim, Stun, Lightning, Knockback then fire up a Wing shell. If I haven't killed the mob by then and it gets close again under hail of normal shots I'll lightning again or wing span but I rarely have to go that far unless I am hit by two or more. The only pause I take between mobs is the time it takes for wing shell to cool down.
See I believe in having the power to use all those neat skills hence a MAG of 30 and over 1800 MP. I also believe in being able to tangle with two or three mobs at once, hence the VIT of 30 and 2200+ HP. I believe in the most up-to-date equipment I can buy, hence all of my defenses, including physical are between 1700 and 2000. As for the best weapon, that goes without saying and I can put out 6500 on a crit with normal el cheapo arrows which I make myself.
I have been the tank for Charr, Krixxix, Ch'in, Gouf and Suzerix . . . several times for each not to mention soloing FB19 at 30 just to see if I could.
BUT, I love a solo game so this is just a look at an archer from a different angle. Don't be afraid to make adjustments as you go, a little MAG here, VIT there and keep up your gear, what the heck else do you have to spend all that loot on?

PS: ALWAYS level up Winged Blessing - distance is your friend.

Stay alive

Its only a problem for the first 60 levels.


After you acquire your first TT60 crossbow, the 4:1 pure build shines.


If you put too many points into your MAG (there should be none at all), then you'll envy the pure builds when they use 6 or less shots to kill a monster.


More pure builds only need to use Frost, and Knockback. Ocassionally cast winged shell to regenerate some mana. Aside from that the only problem with a pure build is the lack of Chi.

agree
agree
keeps adding my winged shell -> take aim lvl 1/cancel charge->ocassional knockback combo,
choose the right mobs, have good equips take 0-1 hits per mob, doesnt break shell often and if so just close to end anyway, builds chi, sparkage
