Speed Shooter archer build.

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.

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.  :?
A lot of people in the NA community know that Dach rages and in the process of his uncontrollable rage, he tends to kick people.

You've been warned! :twisted:

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

Like this, most likely.

To be honest, pretty much :P

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.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.
