Title: A good dedicated archer build?
Post by: Veniathan on May 07, 2015, 10:23:19 am
I have an archer alt but I have no idea how to build it, and the solid build thread is outdated for the new level/points increases. And since I can't figure out alone how to properly calculate the points & where to put them (aside from really basic things). Can some people post good dedicated archer builds?

I use the Rus Bow w/ Bodkin arrows, and for a backup I use a short Nordic sword.

Share your builds so I can piss more people off on EU1. Thanks

i use 21-24, seems to be both fast and strong, and the aim is awesome if You got MW rus bow, and any Arrows i reckon.

Build:

21 str - 24 agi

Weapon Master: 8
Athletics: 8
Ironflesh: 4
Power Draw: 6

184 wpf in Archery

choose either PS or IF if You want melee

This mustve been after you've seen me fail at it this morning, and that you started ranting over clans and shit?
have fun with archer, i know you're better  :mrgreen:

but 7 pd aint enough to hurt.

30-27-24 str is needed to even output damage now, say some current meta archers
and you dont need so much wpf with the more pd you get 30-15 or 27-18 are solid

(i'm going 24/18 because i suck :) )

Reason for this is because my archer build sucks. I played with my archer alt long and realized it's just shit, so now I'm gonna go ahead and try a better build. Archers are weak, contrary to belif yeah. And the convo was me making fun of a clan who claims to have invited pros and is "invite only" but full of average players like me.

welp, every clan has its tryharders, maybe mercs have a bit more :)
rules have changed, but I came to Mercs kinda late, so I dont know how it was before.

Before, it was a clan of "Pros" aka average players who were tryhards as you said. You could only join by invitation and that's why I laughed and made fun of it. Don't get me wrong man, I suck at this game. So bad my score depends on how bad luck my enemies have. But at least I'm not a tryhard and never will be.

I guess they changed the invitation, I actually didn't know. So nevermind. Also here's a build I thought could be good..  I think, if you wanna go balanced.


Level: 35

Strength: 21
Agility: 21

Archery: 170

Weapon Master: 7
Athletics: 7
Iron Flesh: 7
Power Strike: 4 (7 at 36)
Power Draw: 7

Just a lot of skill point conversions to get that, it's neat

Then again hitting the head fast and Easy is more fun than nothing

Not a bad build but this is pretty much what I used and the issue is, it's too slow.

Honestly, on EU1 sometimes I can't get out of spawn by the time 3 cavs have ambushed me from the other team. Even just wearing the Saracen's Padded Shirt.  This build hits hard, however it's really nerfed on the movement/agility department. Severely and critically I'd say.

My build. I was running it for like ... I can't even remember. If you want to go pure archer, go either for 27/21 or 30/18. No IF, PS, just WM and ATHL. The first one will give you a better speed, these 3 agi points change everything I'd say. You listed the main danger of 30/18 : the speed. You'll take one year to draw your bow, and another year to move because you're being chased. Unless you really want to deal damage, go for 27/21. The damage gain isn't that important, compared to all the sacrifices you have to make for that 10th PD point.

PS: I'd rather go for a level 36 hybrid build, at any day.

Algarn, I'm really getting into archery right now, and I have my lvl 36 main unused (i dont like pole anymore)
I like running away and shooting, and on my alt i currently run:

24/18 lvl 34

1h:45
archery: 146

Weapon Master:6
Athletics:6
Iron Flesh:3
Power Strike:6
Power Draw:8
(using +3 Bow/+3 Rus bow +3 Bodkins from armoury)
I'd rather have something speedier, but ill die in one hit then (using +3 fur coat/+3 leather jerkin/+3 tribal warrior, I will probably use your Byrnie later)

suggestions for lvl 36 char? respec this saturday i believe.
as long as it does mediocre damage its good, fighting with 1h also helps me alot with escaping :)

Cheers

27/18 or 24/21 should make the job while being almost maxed up on every skill. If you want to hybrid, go for ~ 60wpf in melee with something like the grosses messer. Used it with 32wpf and 5PS, and I was already hurting. Considering you're going to wear armor and have STR at the same time, you'll always end up with 60+ hp in any way. As far I remember, you can't max out stats tho. 5 athl with 21 agi and maxed out PS would be better than the opposite I guess, knowing you aren't going to wear a heavy armor. Level 37 for life, it allows so many shit to be done with builds  8-)

Ahhh I see, so let's say I go 27/21? Can you just help out how my skills should look? WM, ATHL, PD and etc. Cause I'm retarded and don't know how this system works very well. I'll write it down to notepad. I'm level 35 now on my alt so might aswell reture and +1 my Rus Bow.

Join a clan like vanguard etc (with big armouries) and you'll get to use +3's forever without having to loom/buy your own.

dont loom a rus bow by yourself, 2lp and 80-120K should do the trick on market, bows are quite cheap

This is an archery thread, if you cant shoot a bow by all means go for Xbow but I didn't ask for Xbow builds and will never use that cheap garbage.

As i know, damage and accuracy are depend on the power draw right now, so, 24/21 should works
