Need Advice with alter for farming

Refine your claws over +5. Get blood vow.

No really an archer and a BM deal similar damage at +5 (the common endgame refine) however the bm's HF is a bit more usefull than the archers...metal debuff. So ya, get a real debuff, do more damage than the bm.

the fastest way way to get a farm-worthy toon on your account is to lvl your Sin to 100. The Armour / ornaments are LA and HA orna I assume, like most Archers and sins both use. so then all you need to focus on is getting a decent set of daggers for your Sin. you can farm TT and work on TT99 daggers then once you get into Niv on the sin save Raptures.

LA with HA ornaments really wouldn't work as well on a BM, Most people want BMs in there because they make such good tanks. A LA BM couldn't cut it the same and you have to roll one which no matter how fast you are will take a while to get to 100 in the first place.

BM's are there for HF, and some extra dmg. They don't tank
Sin's do the most dmg, and thus do the tanking

At the same refines, sin has waaay more DPS, and thus tanks.

As for the matter of a sin alt. Get rank8 top and daggers. After nirvana, they are the best (actually they are better for DPH)

so here is the thing. i'm 5.0 aps archer... but.. i cant do a lot of things .. like nirvana.. they never want anything else but a sin or a bm....

so i was lvling a sin (lvl 92) atm... and with account stash, he still needs like 530m to get to 5 aps, .... and i dont really think is usefull to be 5 aps sin with deicides....

So now i'm thinking on making a bm and acc stash the 99 wrist & boots light and the 99 phy. ornaments.... and will just need the nirvy pants to get to 5 aps....

sooooo... i'm confused and dont know what to do xD b:cry

any advice there for me? b:sad

Its true not many wants 5.0 archers in NV unless you have like +10 NV claws. Doesn't really matter if archers dps is almost similar to a BM and you have Blood Vow, you still wont get an invite. People look at class over gear and player.

If you wanna build a good 5.0 char and plan ahead i would invest in the sin. If you just wanna rush and get something now go with the BM.

BM:

Pros: Would be faster and cheaper. Only need NV pants and powerlevel to 100. If you decide to get first cast NV claws for the BM eventually you could use them for you archer as well. BMs tend to be more asked for NV, BH100 and FCC if you look at WC to, probably since assassin is the most over played class in MMO-history.

Cons: The BM would suck. He would wear 3/4 LA armor (assuming you will get LA NV pants so archer can use as well). If you actually wanna build a good BM with high survivability, full HA and level 11 skills you will have to pay way more than the sin would cost.


Sin

Pros: I find my 5.0 sin way more useful than my 5.0 BM. The class is OP so its to be expected. If you start saving up for Daggers and R8 you will eventually have a char thats way better than a LA armor 5.0 BM lol.

Cons: You need coins for daggers, R8 and pants and unless you cash shop it will probably take a few months. You will also ditch your archer pretty fast (like everyone else) and have a new main b:chuckle.

like i told you b4 id suggest using LA wrists/boots and HA neck/belt with HA chest and legs while farming for nirvana legs. in a sense farming for this basic build Temporary Build

after getting the nirvana legs if youre comfortable with being 4.0 could always refarm HA wrists/boots and use mag def orns such as this Final 4.0 build
would always have the LA gear and HA orns which you could use for farming instances but the regular HA for normal instances such as BH or TW/pvp
