Speed Shooter archer build.

[Rendar1970]

I remember a long time ago, someone made a pure AGI archer build.  It didnt do a whole lot of damage, but he was a machine gun.  Even with only like 2 powerdraw, he still got a fair share of kill by aiming for the head.

Would a build like that work in current cRPG.

Im thinking of making a lowerdamage, but super accurate and fast archer for CQC fighting.  Go for headshots, and mostly interupt enemies.

I realize i will be using a "lesser" bow, and less PD.  So if anyone has tried this or has a build please let me know.

Was better back in the days when bows were pierce and did much more damage, but It's still do-able. I tried one with 3 PD only and I can hurt people fine except for people who used extreme armor/STR.

If someone doesn't use a strong bow I'll just waltz up to them without my shield up because i know they don't have the damage output to hurt my 70 body armor.

Which bow did you use? 

Im assuming the 2PD bow?  Cause you still want to use a bow with -1 you current PD right? So you can hold the reticle tight a bit longer?

Which is why I said Headshots

2 PD or 3 PD your choice with all the WPNM points it won't be noticed much.

I don't recommend doing this.  You'll tickle most players and will probably have to get at least 2 headshots to kill someone.

He meant headshots too.

the main problem with that kind of build isn't your damage output...

The problem is that you will die from one shot of any other archer, crossbowmen and thrower.

My next STF character is going to be:

2 pd
10 ath
11 wm

197 archery wpf

I'll be using the pd 1 bow with it. I'll let you know how it goes!

This sounds like fun,  I am a fan of non standard builds, please don't forget to update this and tell us how it went.

playing with 160 wpf 7 pd and nomad bow is fun

To be honest, pretty much

It's a lot of fun, and you shoot incredibly quickly, but the lack of damage leaves your arrows glancing on anything medium armored and up. Accuracy is excellent, but with such a low pd and low tier bow, the arrows take forever to reach their target and arc considerably. Great for a STF character to play for a week, but there' no way I'd make a regular character out of this build.

I once made a 10 ATHL archer with I think 4 PD, though I only had 3 WM. It was hilarious for kiting people while retaining a punch. Could not snipe but I did not care.

Ah, a true Fallen build!
