[Archer build] Most damage output?

[Alec]

Hello

I decided to try out archery and I'm looking for a lvl 35 pure archery build with the most damage output.
I don't really care about speed or movement but I'd like some accuracy though. Any recommendations?

Thanks for your time

get 30 str and rest is uppon u. WPF don't change dmg as I think and more than 30 doesn't change it too, but u gotta get a long bow for that build.

Higher PD (str) gives more damage but reduces accuracy.

Higher WPF (agi) gives you increased accuracy.

Low PD high WPF will be accurate but weak damage.
High PD low WPF will hurt, but be less accurate.

Up to you to balance that in your build.

I personally would never go lower than 150 WPF in archery, especially if you are a dedicated archer.

Try 21/21, 24/18, 18/24 and see which you like best (not sure if these are viable at 35 these days).

You can reduce penalties to accuracy by wearing light-weight armour (armour counts towards WPF penalties, which reduces accuracy)

-Pd gives u accuracy after patch so its bullshit, wpf gives u only better "holding aim" but if PD archer knows how to abuse it, he can hold aim for ages
-Higher wpf (agi)gives you increased accuracy- stronk bullshit
150 wpf is enough for HS hunter even with medium armor.

I'd do 27/15 with 9pd/9ps/5wm/5ath and dump it all into archery and get the knobbed mace. Longbow would have best damage output but yumi is more accurate but those two would be my recommendations. Rus bow isn't good imo.

What is holding aim/reticule size if not accuracy - that's AGI/WPF.

a longbow with 30 str is like a awp. It is damn accurate, but only for half a second. If that time is enough for u to aim, than u are a eldar boss Oh and it feels like u can shoot with so much str over whole maps ^^

btw albus respect. Most retarded archer build xD

Isn't it like in native where requirement + 4 is the max you can get out of PD? Basically you only get to use all the damage from 10 PD with a yumi, rus bow or long bow. Max PD for a nomad would be 6 since it has 2 req. It was like that in the old days, at least, dunno if they changed it at one point?

Pretty sure the cap is still in there

Currently running 30/18 with 100 in one hand and 120 in archery. 6wpm 4ath and 10 pd. using light armour longbow tartar arrows and broadsword.

Whats the biggest difference between bodkins and tartars?

[Casul]

use tartar arrows with light bows and bodkins with 6 PD bows.

Tartar are just better against light armored enemies and bodkins against heavy armored, but the difference isnt that much actually.

[Jeraz]

Personally i think broadsword is to slow if you don't have enough WPF. I would go for a faster sword.
Also 30 STR is the max you can use but i find that the 30 STR is not worth the loss of AGI and thus movement/accuracy.
Go for 27 STR and put the rest in AGI (I think 27/18 if you really want damage or els 24/21 if you still want to move a bit).
If you want a bit of melee go for 24/18.

Edit: In this meta (almost) everyone uses medium/heavy armor so always go for bodkins. 

Edit 2: I just read your build, You have 100 wpf in 1h but 0 ps, the 100 wpf is useless cause you wont do damage with 0 PS. You can do 3 things:
Get a fast sword (Nordic short sword) and put all wpf in archery and get PS (my choice)  (27/18 or 24/21 build)
Get a fast sword, put all wpf in archery and dont get ps (your mainly just blocking) (27/18 or 24/21 build)
Get a strong sword, get 100 wpf and get ps (Good melee but your are now slower with your bow and less accurate) (24/18 build)

Bodkin only arrows that do pierce  damage,  so best against armour.  All others do cut damage

Tatars kill horses, bodkins kill metal mans. Regular mans die either way.
