Opinions between these two builds

[Gmnotutoo]

Right now I'm a level 33 archer that was built before the drastic arrow weight increase. So I've been just playing around with the planner to see what builds I can come up with that might be useful but also possess a lot of variety. I'd like get any opinions or even just a vote to see what other people think between the two ideas.

Currently I'm at these stats for the level 33 Archer (Used for when it hits level 35):
Strength 24
Agility 18

Archery 158 (160)

Power Draw 8
Athletics 6
Weapon Master 6
Riding 3 (6)
Horse Archery 3
Power Strike 0 (3)

It has served me good, I recently just added the horse stuff because I was tired of walking around. If I respec I'd be level 32 and this is the build that I've thought of.

Here is Xbow Version:

Strength 18
Agility 24

Power Strike 6
Riding 8
Weapon Master 8
Horse Archery 0 (4)
Athletics 0 (6)

130 pole-arm (+ with high levels)
140 crossbow

Warning you Gmnotutoo, if you go horse archer you need to go for the pure build otherwise your going to hate it.

I did respec from 33 to 32 then 32 to 31 to learn it.

If you want to keep your melee efficiency go for the xbow/lancer build.

There still a problem with that though, on the c-rpg server you cannot use these 2 item at the same time, it will be either being a HX with a secondary polearm or being a lancer.

Hope that help!

Light Crossbow + Steel Bolts + Practice Lance

ohh that's sneaky Mala but... 150 lenght 

I tried with the glaive (160 lenght), but the upkeep of the xbow, bolt, armor, horse + the glaive screwed me up.

HA needs 100% focus on it. And if you go HX.... well you should just cut off your nuts.

The idea with that build, the archer based one, is that I'm a foot archer that can occasionally ride a horse to shoot or great lance people. Although 3 HA is bad, I can still hit people well enough at a medium speed.
