Im making an archer alt, I was wondering whats the best build for an archer, with 7 pd, and a melee weapon, nothing fancy, just to be able to somewhat kill with melee, to defend myself, maybe 4-5 ps nothing more really.
-
Strength:21
Agility:18
Weapon Master:6
Athletics:6
Power Strike:5
Power Draw:7
Lvl 31 build though. If lvl 30 just go for 4 PS.
Not sure I'd recommend a 7 PD build but if that's what you want then the above build will work for ya.
-
Awesome thx man! and why not? what would you recommend?
-
7 PD isn't worth anything, really, stay on a 18/21 dude, or you'll be quite disappointed...

This.
I'd go 21/18 if I knew I was going above lvl 31 to maybe 34 or so on a main/alt. But if I was going to.. I'd do 18/21 first then go either 21/21 or 18/24.
The loss of the additional WM and the negative hit to wpf makes the extra PD kind of wasted. You'll be slightly more hard hitting at the cost of more agi and wpf/accuracy.
But definitely go for the 7 PD if you want to. If everyone did cookie cutter builds, this would be a boring ass mod.
-
So in the end, 18/21 for 30 would be best for me? since i also need a bit of wpf in 1handers so i can still kill people with melee? and how would you guys split the wpf?
-
Depends of what you want to aim for. If you want to be a "hybrid" archer until you retire at 31, go 18/18, with WM, PS, PD, ATHL maxed out, 50 wpf in 1h, the rest on archery. But if you want to be level 32+, go 18/21 at 30, then 18/24, with PS maxed, same goes for WM and athl, also, note that you can't be below 6 athl as archer, or you won't be able to provide a good footwork for your stabs. Forget IF and put it if you ever reach the level 34 with it.
-
I see, but if i go 18/18 and put 50wpf in 1h and the rest in archery, wont i be to low in archery? or should it be fine?
-
Normally, something around 150 is fine in archery, depends of what armour are you willing to use, if your bow is loomed, etc ... Get something around 30 armor for your body, boots around 20 armor, helm with 35 armor max if you want to stay accurate and don't have looms.
Little problem of that build is that I calculated it, and there is no more than 27 wpf in 1h for 150 in archery, you can lower the amount of archery points, and get lower armor to compensate. But it won't be a big deal if you already played the class before. 146 archery and 45 1h is already an half decent build to go if you want to stay away from longbow, since it's the hardest one and the least accurate. The rus bow is the best for beginners, even with "low profiency" in archery.
