Hi guys!

I know i'm miles off 89, but was just wandering, could someone tell me which is the best path to choose? I can't decide at all.

I'm VIT/Hybrid build (sorry, i don't PvP at all) and was just wandering which would benefit me more, sage or demon?

Thanks :)

    Hahahaha, I must say, this is the most refreshing exchange of information I have seen in a long time on these boards.

    Simple, clean and to the point.

    Gratz to both of you xD

    its also something im still having doubts on sage or demon at 89

    some say demon archers are totally ****

    others say a demon archer is like a machine gun and a sage archer like a sniper

    its kinda what you personally prefer both got their good and not so good sides at skills

    Hmmm, I'm not convinced about Demon yet.

    I looked at some of the skills that I will use in pvp (non-exhaustive list):

    Take Aim
    - Sage Version = 500% of weap damage. (+100%)
    - Demon Version = 400% of weap damage.

    Winged Blessing
    - Sage Version = 14 meter range (basically +2)
    - Demon Version = 1% crit + 10% accuracy

    Bow Mastery
    - Sage Version = 90% increase to damage (+15%)
    - Demon Version = 1% crit

    So, all in all, my accuracy will be pouring from my ears anyway (it's at 4500 at level 85)..and my crits will be pretty damn high too (+23 atm). Do I really want to reduce my potential damage for an extra crit chance?

    Not sure, so would be nice to hear from people that have those skills already.

    Its basicly stun arrow that makes demon the way to go, also lightning strike is good. quickshot for robes!?
    EDIT: also the evasion buff from demon is lovely

    It might help if you take advice from someone who actually hit 89... and prob would help a bit if you actually find an archer to ask.

    a. range is not that important when you already have so much, maybe you can use windcatcher for same effect.
    b. crit, however, is very useful as you have rely on it for pvp
    c. masteries and other skills other than take aim, frost arrow, blazing arrow, will not appear in your inventory when you hit 89. you have to farm cube a lot
