Quick Archer Build Question

[Visus]

24 Str
15 Agi
5 PS
5 Ath
8PD
5Wpm

140 in Archery
60 in 1h

Is this Viable? or should I go for a 21-18 build with extra Weapon master?

If it matters, I would be using a loomed Longbow.

Completely viable and actually a good build.  140 to 148-9 wpf not a big difference, but you will really notice the extra powerdraw.  5 athletics should be good.

Thanks Kesh

i can tell you as a noob archer, your accuracy is going to be pretty bad. dont expect to hit anything long range except thru luck

I don't know. I found that I'm very accurate close, accurate medium, and can put an arrow in someone's general vicinity at long ranges. The hardest part for me to compensate with is the drop rate. As an arbalester this has really been a challenge for me. The Longbow helps though.

I also have found that combat archering at medium distance is the most satisfying playstyle for me. The thunk of an arrow hitting a body is wondeful haha. I almost want to change my name to Legolas.







That wasn't serious.
