Level 78, where to go with skills
Nodis - Sanctuary
Posts: 2 Arc User
I'm L 78 with 30 Vit, 16 Mag, 80 Str, 293 Dex. Have maxed these skills: Stunning Arrow, Wings of Protection, Blazing Arrow, Frost Arrow, Lightning Strike, Quick Shot, Winged Shell, Vicious Arrow, Knockback. Advanced level, 7+ with Aim Low, Deadly Shot. Where do I concentrate my spirit and $$?
Barrage has been very useful in FB, TT and Frostland but it's very expensive.
I do not PVP or duel and never intend to.
What's next?

first of all, wtf i have 265 dex at lvl 60...
ANYWHO
Barrage stays at level 1 unless you wanna fork out a ton of extra MP.
Just keep upgrading aim low and deadly shot whenever you get a chance to. If your really concerned about having too much spirit then put it into your genie. I recommend not doing that though.
As for your cash, upgrade your gear? mounts? Wings?[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Use your money to restat your mag to dex.
For skills, if you dont intend to PvP you don't need Deadly Shot imo.If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have
And you've not been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes and bow your head
And wait for the ricochet.0 -

Deadly shot at lvl 80? And I had a inpresion Take Aim outdamage that skill at that lvl. Really, who have Deadly maxed here?b:surrenderI kill things b:victory0 -
Um, why aren't Winged Blessing and Bow Mastery in that list?
Also, why isn't Sharpened Tooth Arrow mentioned?If you disregard what I say because of who I am or because of the contents of what I said, you are a fool.

My comments on what information you provided :
-30 VIT is a bit too much, but I do not know if that is your base VIT or you have some points form the gear. I know you just want PvE, but I would cut it to 20 at least.
-16 MAG is useless. Even if you got used to spam skill and barrage, is better if you don't do it so often and save some DEX out of the Magic. If you need the MP pool for some BoA in TTs and Rebirth, just buy a Magic Hat and shard it with mana gems.
-80 STR means you need 4 more points when you get to level 80, so you can wear the appropriate armor set.
-Stunning Arrow maxed : very well, it is important to have a stun in both PvE and PvP
-Wings of Protection maxed : I don't think you had need to max them, but it is done, so we move on
-Frost Arrow maxed : ok
-Blazing Arrow maxed : ok obviousily
-Lightning Strike maxed: Thunder Shock needs to be maxed first because is more powerful and has a metal debuff, hence you need to invest some SP in Thunder Shock
-Quickshot maxed : I think everybody agrees that is a skill that needs attention only after level 89 --> Demon Path
-Winged Shell maxed : good. It needs to be maxed asap so it can be useful. This skill looses it's strength the more you level (it absorbs only a flat amount of damage, instead if growing in % along with your level)
-Vicious Arrow maxed : a very bad choice. Archers need to deal damage fast, not over time. At least don't put any more SP in Serrated Arrow (if you had such in mind).
-Knock-Back maxed : again a bad choice. It needs to be left at level 1 so you save some mana. The damage this skill brings is again flat so is less and less important while you level.
-Aim Low is a good choice. I use for e.g. a few times a day beacause of high CHI cost, but I find it very useful when i need it.
-Deadly Shot is not a priority in PvE, but no harm done in leveling it a bit.
-Barrage of Arrows - Keep it as lowest level you can. I don't know what level is needed to start leveling it, but early 80s is too soon.
My suggestions :
-Sharptooth Arrow -I don't have any information on this skill and is a must for any mid and late game archer. It plays an important role in any dungeon. Max it as you get your SP
-Winged Blessing - If is not maxed, you should. The greater the distance you start hitting a mob, the safer you are and have time to react.
-Bow Mastery - needs maxing; it's damage bonus is crucial
After this is just you Sage/Demon Path that needs a lot of attention. Meanwhile if you have any spare SP, just level your genie.
I hope I didn't forget anything

First thank you all for your replies.
I forgot to mention that Winged Blessing and Bow Mastery are maxed. Also, I made some mistakes in skills early on thus some relatively useless skills are too high.
I'm a bit concerned about lowering magic and vitality since my MP recovery rate is pathetic. Know what you mean about barrage which is at 5. I EAT MP charms in FB, TT, Frost and RB. I'm miserly about EXP and SPIRIT and although I own 2 genies, I'm selfish enough not to invest EXP and SPIRIT in them. However, as you may know, archers are drag-**** slow on foot. Was killed 5 times in a TT because I couldn't move fast enough. I hear there's a genie spell that literally 'kicks ****' so I can zoom past vermin and those #$@# rolling balls.
Probably will max Aim Low currently at 9 and Deadly Shot currently at 8 then move on. No one mentioned Stormrage Eagleon however, the opinion on other duration damage arrows such as vicious arrow leads me to believe you wouldn't recommend doing anything with Stormrage.
Thanks again for your input....

From what I know, everyone who has used it has found out that Stormrage Eagleon is just a waste of sparks. And damn, that "Eagleon" has created some very unrelated puns.If you disregard what I say because of who I am or because of the contents of what I said, you are a fool.

you should get wings of grace...
max aim low, sharp tooth. ummm by this time you're pretty much done w/ skills if you don't pvp at all
wings of grace is so good, you can literally use it to dodge the balls in TT just as they're about to hit you.Elena Costel: I wash my hands of this affair.
Legerity: *drags you back* *stains your hands with said affair*
Elena Costel: Noooo... I don't want to have a dirty affair with Lady Legerity...
Qui: b:dirty0 -
Lol if you only pve um..
wing shield+frost arrow+Blazing+masteries for grind and maybe aim low.
Sharp tooth for TT.
No need to upgrade deadly shot or any other spike damage skill. No archer skill out dps your regular shots. Unless your base damage is junk.
Please don't waste money on your level 79 skills. They suck for a 5mil price.
Also if you have a high refined gold smasher..like +7 and up, you dont even need any skill to grind at all.
Just regular shot at max range lol.0 -

Few things I noticed. While Thunder Shock is more useful than lightning strike, Lightning strike can be maxed at lvl 58 while Thunder Shock cannot be maxed until level 74. I know he is already past levle 74 but Lightning Strike takes fewer spirit and coins so If you are low on either then it might be more beneficial to raise lightning strike two times over raising Thunder Shock once. Also you said to not raise Barrage until level 80s. However if you want to do Rebrith Gamma then you need to raise barrage to at least level 6The only way to win is to quit. b:bye0 -
are u just gonna stan there n let them kill u...
Anyways..
1st if u just wanna kill monsters n lv.. u should totally change ur gear to a grindin one.. (Wearing belts n necklace that help magic.. magic flyin boss are gud for exp)
2nd If ur worry about MP rec. Try to get a cape n maybe a Mp hat that has mp recovery n mp bonus or hp..
3rd Get tons of clerics.. pretty much any gurl cleric.. talk to her or ask for buffs i got so many people buffin me at my grindin spots.. saves lots of $
4th U SHOULD RESET UR SKILLS.. even that u dont want too.. U were meant to deal damage.. i got 0 points added in vit n i have 3.3k hp n i only have ave shards n nothing higher than +3 (lv 80 archer)
5th u should lv barrage at least to 3 or 4 n max any of the other skills mention above
6th dont even get storm eaglon.. it is a waste.. n for ur 79 skills.. u gonna need 20 pages n 10 tint. or somehing like that x.x
b:bye0 -
get rid of the vit and magic
use an mp hat and shard with mana shards if you have to
and dont waste mana using barrage so much
with the proper equipment you dont need those stats, they would do you much more good put into dex
i have never put a single point into vit or magic and have 5k hp (buffed) and enough mana for lvl 9 barrage (and only use it for RB and cube bosses)
just refine/shard(citrine) your equips to up your hp and look for stuff with vit/magic bonuses0
