Archer build post-patch - what should I do now...?

[HappyPhantom]

Actually no idea what to do now I've hit 35.

Stay 21/21, or go 21/24 - in either of these scenarios, where to put points?? Or even do I go 24/21?

(If I convert skill points, I got 1 left to use).

1) Make build.
2) Enter server.
3) Realize your arrows... they do nothing.
4) Quit crpg and cry yourself to sleep.



Archers have been hit pretty hard by the new patch. They can still hurt but you definitely have to go for headshots. Accuracy doesn't seem to be a concern anymore. Your 21/21 build seems alright. More points in IF might help with wpf with the new formula but other than that... you should be ok.

I haven't played much with my archer alt post patch but I definitely saw a difference. Maybe it's been a while and dat rose colored glasses blinded me.

i do 21/21 wit max ps and some if. works out pretty well.

also though i put 50 into 1 hand and only have 150ish archery. still damn accurate though, assuming u are using a longbow

If you don't care about melee combat, 10 PD/6WM is pinpoint with +3 Longbow with light-mediumish armor since there's still some net gain in accuracy from PD after the WPF loss, though you're limited to 4 skillpoints after that at 35 (I'd probably put them in Athletics)

I wouldn't suggest investing in more AGI, high PD is the way to go now since getting to the smallest reticule size possible for each bow is easy with =<18 AGI, as long as you don't go overboard with melee WPF or armor.

At 35 you'll have a choice of maxing out ps/pd + athletics/wm at 21/21 or 24/18 if meleeing is important to you.

I've been chosing 30/18. I believe from what I saw any other build with less than 9 PD is bad now. You'll simply glance on people with such a "low" PD value.

Make a 2H character with just enough Archery to hold a crappy bow, then disguise yourself amongst your allies and ambush would-be assassins!
