    Well, it would help if we knew what your lvl was, so we knew what skills you had access to.

    Other than that, I found I had a pattern of using this skill, then that, and so on, and that it worked pretty consistently. I put it in a macro, and there you are.

    Many people suggest something like:
    Frost Arrow->Attack->Knockback->Attack

    Personally, I found Take Aim to be a perfect opener, so I do:
    Take Aim->Attack->Knockback->Attack->Stunning Shot->Attack

    You may also want another macro with your magic attacks, such as:
    Thunder Shock->Lightning Strike->Knockback->Attack->Lightning Strike->Stunning Shot->Attack

    Really, though, I suggest experimenting for yourself and seeing what you like.

    well is use this one . Winged shell - Vicious Arrow - Attack - Attack - Attack - Knockback Arrow - Attack - the mob is dead † R.I.P † . I found very usefull to use vicious arrow lvl 1 since it does 75 - 90 damage overtime for 15 seconds wich is usefull for an archer . At lvl 34 i will replace it for serrated arrow .

    Malkavian,

    I wouldn't go for Vicious or Serrated arrow because they do steady, over-time damage. An archer is all about spike, fast damage. But you should try what it suits your play-style and make a choice only after trying some different strategies. After all, maybe your play-style proves my advice to be wrong !

    Anyway, keep my recommendation in mind too !
    Cheers

    As Lunnark said, damage over time skills are near useless.. the only reason I use any of them is against bosses because the animations for them look pretty good.
    Anyway, my only combo was in use below level 70:
    Frost arrow -> normal -> normal -> knockback -> normal till dead
    At level 69, if/when you get the Wind & Clouds slingshot, you can just use frost arrow (level 10 preferably) as an opener and then normal till dead.

    My normal attack is Aim, Stun, Lightning, Knockback, Wing Shell then normal until melee range then Lightning or Wing Span. then wait for a cool down on Wing Shell and do it again on the next one.

    That's a ridiculous number of skills.

    Maybe he is going for a magic build of some sort... dunno for sure !!! Not my personal kind of archer build, but a possible one though. Either way... I think you can't grind with those skills as you will go out of MP pretty fast.

    Wasn't the original intent but it worked out rather nicely. As for grinding, with the regular use of Wing Shell and a little Focus Powder I can pretty much grind without any trouble until the Focus Powder runs out then I have to slow down a little. I usually pause between mob kills to allow for my Wing Shell to cool down and that gives an extra few seconds for the FP to work on my MP. Not everything has to be killed a quickly as possible. I've never bought the FP since I farm everything in sight. Also I have no problem picking up Mana potions as they drop though I rarely buy them.

    I think you may have just made several archers cry. This is the whole point of what we do.

    Anyway, when you have to kill 3000 mobs to level, and are spending your whole time with exp scrolls, you'll change that attitude. The only two times I've worked out how many mobs I killed in an hour it came out as slightly over 213 each time... now I'm trying my hardest to beat this.

    Neither did I. When you've paid 50k for an hour of grinding, you don't want to be sitting around waiting for cooldowns.

    Haven't gotten to the point where I pay anything for grinding.

    Take aim>Normal shots>Knockback>Normal until dead, or sometimes throw in a stunning

    Thros on Winged shell every time I have full Chi. Pretty much nothing touches me and I need no MP pots because of Winged Shell's MP regen. Frost arrow is nice (might take a bit less damage) but the increased cost means more MP pots hence less profit grnding.

    WHY TAKE AIM???? SUCCH A BAD SKILL. If you ave chi use DS to start then FA normal nnormal knockback normal normal dead easy.
    Or Skill Spammer you can do Frost Arrow (SPAM SKILLS LIKE NOOB) Win

    Why would you need FA and Knockback Arrow after you use Double Spark? oO

    I pretty much kill everything around my level (even +1-2 level) with Quickshot->attack->dead.
    But you can't hit all the time, when I miss I just chain a Kockback Arrow in my combo and the job is done. I've never used any of my metal skills or any of my physical close combat skills oO.

    I never get hit by anything ---> need no pots. Furthermore my macro doesn't need any chi, so I spam Winged Shell as soon as the cooldown is ready ---> no mana pots (always full mana)

    To be honest I don't know why some archers have problems with pots (mostly mana oO).

    If you use Knockback Arrow after Take Aim + ONE attack you always have to run after the mob, because you shoot it out of your range.

    i only use one combo, and that is (knockback - frost - normal) and only that one cuz you sometimes need to use those other skills in different orders.
    the problem with combos though is that they almost never work. i use macros 1 and i use frost and then sit there waiting to die.b:angry what?
