    Lady Annor,

    Do you plan on copying this guide onto the PWI Wiki for Archers? If not, may I do so?

    With proper crediting, of course =)

    Only the lvl 11 take aim is decent so don't bother lvling it before.
    I only use it in boss/HH for building Chi.

    I will be sure to edit this post later with questions, asuming there are any left to ask- but my jaw had hit the floor by about the 8th page.
    I am overwhelmed by the plethora of information here, and simply put, think I need to delete my 68 Archer and start over! Looking over my skills, and the information here, taking into account my playstyle, I think I might be able to re-stat[not TOO bad right now, but damage is damage] and maybe pay less attention to some skills, and more to others....

    Questions to come in a bit :)

    Wings of Grace only has one level.

    Hi there Olba. Good to see you're answering a lot of questions and being helpful in general.

    Thought I'd like to thank you in this thread. Looks like I can turn the blind eye most of the time now. :D

    Wow, I wonder what it is that I did that made no sense.

    Oh well, a pastime is a pastime, I've been spending time posting on gaming forums for the past six years or so.

    As a lot of you may have noticed I havent been actively following the thread recently as I used to, real life distractions and other such lameness.

    Anyway, I've started to ease myself back into the game (It has been a little bit overwhelming surprisingly), and I expect to resume my active presence here. My apologies for the negligence!

    I am glad to see that my baby (Archer Basics) has not been unloved, my thanks to you all :)



    With regards to the wiki suggestion lady Elena, I'm happy for it to be posted there, thanks.

    Hm, maybe my wording was wrong. I meant to thank you and say that I no longer need to feel obliged to repond to everything because someone such as yourself (and a few others I have in mind) are very helpful to beginners etc.

    And Annor, I think this thread will live long :D nice work!

    Spirit is limited early on but gets more and more abundant as you level. There is no shortcut in getting more spirit. That's why guides are here. They let you know which are the "recommended" skills to get. Effectively you'd end up most likely getting all of them in the future.

    People may sugegst dying so you can get more spirit. But don't kid yourself by sacrificing exp to stay on lvl XX for more spirit because you end up with better gains if you actually level yourself.

    As for genie, just let it level while you play. You'll find it not so useful until you run instances and or PvP. By then you'd most likely have the spirit to infuse into the genie.

    I have a lv 25 archer and he is mainly a dex build but he also has mag and vit I still do loads of damage (1300 with take aim) and dont run out of mana as fast. I think the perfect archer should give up some damage for suviablity and mana regen or else when your grinding you will find yourself haveing to sit a lot.

    I would just like to ask about this.
    Opener1: Frost Arrow
    Opener2: Take Aim (effective only after 85 or so)
    Snare: Knockback Arrow
    Difficult opponents: Stunning Arrow / Aim Low
    If reached: Winged shell and Lightning Strike/Winged Pledge/Wingspan
    i.e. Frost Arrow -> Regular Shot -> Regular Shot -> Knockback -> Regulars to finish
    Why start off with frost arrow as you need chi for it and take aim second?
    Looking for a decent casual understanding Faction.

    Frost Arrow's got the slow effect, which enables one to get more attacks in before having the enemy reach them; in addition, Take Aim is based on weapon damage and weapons do not get godly enough before 85ish that the difference in damage between Frost and Take Aim will be very prominent.

    She's not saying you use Take Aim as the second attack.

    She's saying you can use Take Aim as an opener, after level 85 (instead of Frost Arrow).

    I usually start off with blazing arrow, qiuckshot, frost arrow and any other attacking skills.I might use take aim after quickshot.
