6 PD is too low for what I want.honestly 6 PD is Plenty. I have an 18/24 archer right now and would never get more PD. I'd stack more agility if I kept leveling it.
I want to mainly be an archer dealing heavy damage but will use a side arm incase I get a cav or whatever near me.
Keep then coming people, the more suggestions specially from known archers the better.
I'm 800k from 31 and I need to know exactly what plan on stats to have for the next one.
I tried this on a STF:
Strength:24
Agility:18
Two Handed:10
Archery:154
Power Draw:8
Athletics:3
Weapon Master:6
But I guess it's kinda slow? (Didn't find it that slow with a horn bow personally but I'd prefer real archers opinions on damage builds)
Someone suggested me to go 18/24 but I don't really like it, maybe 21/21 with 7 PD, 7 WM and 3 ATH?
So what is your opinion for a damage build for archery? I will probably use my MW langes as melee weapon on the archer as it's 1 slot and maybe when I get high in wpf use skutatos armour which has 9.6 weight with lighter stuff on the other parts.
I got a MW Horn Bow ready and MW Bodkins if that can help on what is the ideal build.
Invert that build.18/24 is the best
All the top archer dogs have high agility and plenty of wpf to keep those shots tight.
18-24 run bow with bodkins. Seems to be the go.
Oh yeah, and a lot more agi
6PD
8ATH
8MW
There be an archer!

Is it worth even playin an archer with no looms? I have an alt but I can't decide what to make him. It's between a 15/24 polearm guy or an archer. My main is already infantry, so I wonder if the spear will feel redundant....but if archer is useless without looms I won't bother.Yes. a levle 30 archer with no looms is still good. With +3 bow it becomes GREAT with +3 bodkins as well it become AMAZING
Yes. a levle 30 archer with no looms is still good. With +3 bow it becomesGREAToverpowered with +3 bodkins as well it becomeAMAZINGlol broken
I'll hop on my 27/15 archer. I have a MW rus bow and MW bodkins. and with heirloom transferring, ahaha.
I said it is still alright, just not on 18/24+ Archery GOOD.
edit: I still stand by this.
Character still low level with 12/11 (Raising 3 per time) so I can still adapt to something else.
I hear people singing the praises of 18/24, the difference between 6 WM and 8 WM amounts to about 17 archery WPF. I find it hard to believe that most people could even tell a difference. Why not go 21/18 and get an additional 14% damage? You get more skill points to play with, more damage, slightly more HP (hardly worth mentioning) and you lose what, a negligible amount of accuracy and hold time? I can see it if you want to absolutely max your accuracy but you can adapt to a shorter hold time pretty easily.the accuracy difference is Huge. I thought that way by looking at the numbers first myself. I was wrong.
I guess I should make some STF characters and try their builds out myself.
Seems like most of these are melee guys who don't want to be on the receiving end of your 7 or 8 PD and want to catch your 3 athletics molasses moving ass. :P

Every point in PD improves the missile speed, and missile speed has huge impact on accuracy. Also the speed penalty of PD is pretty major. 18/21 is the best build for archer at level 30. It's not even something to argue about, it's a fact.

Prove to me, cRPG forum user "Cumface," that the 18/21 archer build is quantifiably the better build than 21/21 with 7 WM, 7 PD, and 3 Athletics or 18/24 with 8 WM 6 PD and 3 Athletics. Your claim of indubitability I find curious.Test it yourself if you don't believe. If you still don't believe after testing, you are retard.

7WM & 7PD = A lot more inaccurate than 7WM & 6PD. The difference is huge, also 7WM & 7PD still gives you speed penalty. The damage difference is not even noticeable, you still mostly need as many arrows as you needed with 6PD to kill someone. 3 atheltics just sucks, you have to be able to run away from anyone, and still have time to stop and shoot them. With 7 athletics you can run away from pretty much anyone, and yet have time to turn around and headshot them like a boss. You can kill as many people like this as you have arrows, shielders are harder to kill that way though.
Yeah, if you aren't kiting everyone as an archer you are doing it wrong :rolleyes: :rolleyes:We were talking about best build. With 3 athletic build, you are last man standing.. There's 3 enemy 2h's left.. The chances are you won't kill them all before they reach you = you die. With 7 athletic build, you shoot and run, and end up killing them all (unless you really suck). So yeah, it's best build.

Soon to retire I need the most feedback possible to an archery build
