You should add your level, I can help you out with tincan builds since I play 90% as one myself.
I play 33/9 currently with maxed out ath, weapon master, PS and IF and 1 point shield for dem archers. played 36/9 before with 5 IF only, not sure if its really better, the dmg (and crush through chance) is slightly increased, but still, its lacking 9 HP points compared to my current one....

basically, I love it. I am level 34 tho, if you are 33 this will still work with less IF; if you are around 30-31 I'd recommend something like 27/12 or 30/9. Personally I prefere the higher STR to max out your characters strenghts such as enemies glancing on your armor, very hurtful swings and increased crush through chance , which is, unlike in native, based on your STR (higher STR = higher crush through chance). For easy kills if youre a noob I'd go with team and use hammers, such as great maul and the polearm hammer (very op imo). You will not really stand a chance against spammers and agi runners, unless you think youre a really good player.

I would still not go below 9 AGI since Weapon points are required for high damage, PS only will not make the most damage, each PS needs around 10-11 weapon points to be most efficiant iirc. just a hint.

If you want to try my build: I use milanese set with mercenery sword/claymore/great maul, everything +3 tho, works pretty well, but again, I am pertty much cannon fudder if I dont stick to the team. Either archers (ranged in general) or couche lances will get me down soon. And all the players who probably are too weak against me will just run away. But its a super fun build for DTV; which I play mostly

STR archer rules in the current archery balance. for longbow, go 27 STR, 9 PD, and as much AGI/WM/Athl as your level allows, all wpf in bows

just saw that cassi. As Tincan IF is the most important (Increases health, increases ur WPF, and so DMG and hitspeed and it makes u run faster). I tried the best tincans and u should always go for 12 agi, as it will increase ur damage more than another ps would and the 3 hitpoints are not really worth it, even though it would make 5 with full IF. I read all of mega tec post and thats what my actual calculations and tests showed.

For Warzin:
Go on a duel server and take the bow u want. Increase ur AGI slowly, and see how much u really need for aiming properly! Don´t take more AGI than u really need, u will lack important dmg. I don´t take PS or IF or anything melee related on my archer, just weapon master and power draw. If i get caught in melee i just go block. As long as there is only one he will get bored really fast and leave u alone
1H:
 For lvl 30 go for 18 18 and max anything out.
If u want to go higher, never make a build where u dont have full shield weaponmaster and power strike. Everything else depends on u, if u feel more like you´re too slow with 18 18 or if u think u´re too weak go for either more agi or str.

cav:
Im playing a 21:18 atm. Most cavs are faster than me, but I do still think it´s better than 18:21. If u go for lvl 30 just max all the skills out and go for 18 18.
If u go 1H cav anyways go 18 18.

Since when did 18/24 stop being the best archery build?

Since when did 18/24 stop being the best archery build?

since aiming is ridiculously easy and more dmg is better than more pews

[Blackbow]

Since when did 18/24 stop being the best archery build?

since 2 or 3 years.... when a gay dev wanted all archers to be full str...
it was an easy way for him to counter the kiting problem...
so now we have camping/hiding archers who deal more damage than in the time where 18/24 was le build ...
archery is disgusting now ...
