Use Macro for LvL 20 Archers

I am a LvL 20 Archer pure Build 4 dex, 1 str every lvl Archer. I've played archers off and on for awhile just exploring the class. In my travels through the World I've seen many Archers around this LvL Struggling with Mobs as they quest. The Main Issue I see is the mobs getting into Melee range. Unless your a Hybrid and have placed points into Vit and are using a second weapon class this can be a hazard to Archer's. I have a Solution to this it's Simple Macro that has served me well and I use it as soon as I can at lvl 20.

Skills to keep upto date:
Blazing Arrow
Frost Arrow

Lvl 39 Skill:
Stunning Arrow

You Notice the Knock Back arrow is not mentioned to lvl. Lvl 1 Knock back is sufficient for this macro.

Benefits of this Macro:
A: 98% of the time Mobs never get into Melee range and if they do they are easily 1 or 2 shotted. ( Note: Increased Defense and Increased Life Mobs are still a Issue even with this Macro)

B: Saves coin on HP Pots and Lowers repair, Mana is still going to cost you alot.

C: This Macro Works best with the Crossbow you receive from FB 19 Quest reward and any Class weapons we can use from this point on. ( Class weapons: Bows, Crossbows and Sling's)

Macro Skills

Shot 1: Frost ( You should have this skill at lvl 3 at this stage ) Slows the Mob down and gives you time

Shot 2: Normal Attack

Shot 3: Normal attack ( By this time the Mob is almost half way to Melee range This is a bad thing and where shot 4 helps)

Shot 4: Knock back ( knocks the mob back from you thus giving you more time to attack and kill it )

Shot 5 from there on Normal attacks

With This macro the Mob should be dead by the 6th shot maybe the 7th Shot. As I mentioned above this is for any Mob you come across that IS NOT a Increased Life or Increased Defense Type Mob.

This Macro stands on it's own until Lvl 39 98% of the time, at lvl 39+ you are going to want to add a New Skill behind the Knockback Arrow. The New addition will be Stunning Arrow. So at lvl 39 your Macro will be this:

Shot 1: Frost Arrow

Shot 2: Normal Attack

Shot 3: Normal Attack

Shot 4: Knock Back Arrow

Shot 5: Stunning Arrow

Shot 6+ Normal attack.

The Stunning arrow Does as the name State's, granted it doesn't work every shot but when it does you will be greatful for it.


How to set up a Macro: For those who don't know how to set it up I'll explain it here

Looking at the Bottom right hand of the game screen you see a bar where you go for your Inventory, Character Stats etc etc. Click the 3rd Icon from the left, The Crossed weapon and Shield Icon, Also known as your Skill screen.

On the Bottom of this new window you will see the fallowing:

Edit

Delete

New

Click the New Button This pulls up a second window that will allow you to set your macro up. Keep the first window open aka the skills window as you will be dragging the skills over to the second screen.

Once you have the second screen open you will notice alot of Icons on the bottom of it. These Icon are representations for the macro just select one of your liking.

Ok Now to set the macro up. There are 8 slots that are empty.

Step 1: From the Skills window click and drag the Frost Arrow to the first slot on the left.

Step 2: Below the empty Slot are 2 Icons one is a green sword and the other Is walk behind the enemy Icon. Drag the green sword to the next slot behind Frost Arrow.

Step 3: Repeat Step 2 for the green Icon

Step 4: From the skill screen drag Knock Back arrow and place it behind the SECOND Green Sword Icon

Step 5: Place 2 More green Sword Icons behind the Knock back Arrow.

Step 6: If you haven't already selected a Icon for the macro do so now and then click Save.

This will Close the second screen out, Thats fine but you need to Take the new Icon for your Macro from the Skills screen and drag it to a ready slot where you normally set your attacks. Then Close out the skill screen/

From This point Just Click that Macro Icon and Continue questing. But remember at lvl 39 to edit your Macro and add the Stunning Arrow behind the Knock back Arrow, then 2 Normal attacks.

Happy Hunting and I hope this helps you in the game.
