Title: Archer Hybrid Build
Post by: Loupen on February 24, 2012, 03:44:19 am
Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

    Strength: 15
    Agility: 21
    Hit points: 60

    Skills to attributes: 2

    Ironflesh: 5
    Power Strike: 5
    Shield: 0
    Athletics: 7
    Riding: 0
    Horse Archery: 0
    Power Draw: 5

    One Handed: 100
    Two Handed: 1
    Polearm: 1
    Archery: 144

Would this be a good build to effectively hybrid archery and 1hander? Should i change the build to something different or use a different type of melee weapon? Any other advice would be great as well.

That's the sort of build that I use sometimes.  It works pretty well, although I have the advantage of MW bow and arrows soo.. :)

Really I think that's the best /only good melee hybrid

My archer/melee hybrid is 18/18. I felt the extra point in ps/pd was more useful then the slight increase in wpf. I have 86 1h wpf and 140 archery prof.

Most people who attack archers don't expect them to defend themselves. So you can fight a bit, they back off, shoot them, they charge in, run/fight, etc.

Fun stuff. More enjoyable then pure archer for me due to the versatility.

I am hybrid archer/2her, with a +1 heavy bastard sword and medium armor (when i feel archer i go leather armor, when i feel meleeing, change to byrnie or even banded armor) and my final build will be:
(click to show/hide)

I only use 1 stack of tatar arrows, but with aiming and patience i rarely run out of them, unless on EU 1, but then i loot (or melee).

well, there are tons of players in cRPG and a limited amount of builds so i doubt any build is exactly unique, someone probably has a trolling alt somewhere with that build :P

i dont think archer hybrids are good period.  if u want to go archer i'd recommend 27/15 - 9PD 5WM 2ATH, ur pretty useless for any type of melee fighting but u hit like a truck, and honestly WM over 5 isnt even worth it for archery.  as far as any type of hybrid i would suggest a 18/21 or something like that with high athletcis and maybe use a horn bow / about 150 in archery the rest in ur 1h or w/e.  but even still with a horn bow / 6 PD ur gonna need about 5 arrows to kill anyone....5....5 arrows? u might as well put down the bow and go hit them.

I did a 21/15 archer build as Suleiman_Ghazi and it was pretty beastly. I prefer one-handers of course.

    Strength: 21
    Agility: 15
    Hit points: 66

    Skills to attributes: 2

    Ironflesh: 5
    Power Strike: 7
    Shield: 0
    Athletics: 5
    Riding: 0
    Horse Archery: 0
    Power Draw: 7
    Power Throw: 0
    Weapon Master: 5

    One Handed: 73
    Two Handed: 1
    Polearm: 1
    Archery: 135
    Crossbow: 1
    Throwing: 1

I had zero problems with accuracy at medium range and had enough killing power in melee, with no heirlooms.
