How does my Archer Build look?
Level: 30
Strength: 15
Agility: 20
One Handed: 75
Archery: 144
Ironflesh: 2
Power Strike: 3
Shield: 3
Athletics: 4
Riding: 5
Horse Archery: 3
Power Draw: 5
Weapon Master: 6
Keep in mind this is my first character and I'm intentionally split between archery and one-handed.
oh god you are all over the place, if you had converted 2 skill points to 1 attribute, you could have been 15/21 and gone for something like 7 WM, etc.
You should have put only 50 1h wpf in my opinion, 75 is an okay compromise if you had more WM and use 1h a lot -- but I'd still suggest only 50 1h wpf and the rest in archery.
and you are riding and some horse archery? and shield? and not max riding nor max athletics, nor max PS? But yet still put 2 ironflesh?
man you are all over the place, I don't know any other words to say to describe it.
MY ADVICE: Either be Archer with some 1h or be an archer that can be HA, but in either of those you won't get ironflesh because you'll be short on skillpoints still.
rule 1: always have a multiple of 3 for your stats (agility / strength), having a non-multiple of 3 is very wasteful.
rule 2: unless dedicated cavalry, almost always max athletics
if you're going to be hybriding melee with your archer, definitely max powerstrike before thinking of ironflesh or even shield skill for that matter.
I wouldn't even have shield skill, but if I did I would have only 3 or 4 -- use a brown heater shield or elite cavalry or something for that 1slot shield.
I would in my opinion do archer/1h and not do any cav.
and do:
level 30 // 15 strength // 21 agility
1 conversion (2 skill --> 1 attribute)
5 Power strike
5 Power draw
7 athletics
7 Weapon master
4 shield
1 ironflesh (alternatively, 5 shield)
50 1h wpf [you don't need much wpf for melee as a sidearm, it doesn't increase speed really at all, especially on how fast 1h weapons already are]
159 wpf Archery
Sorry if I seemed rude at all, I understand it was your first character. It is really hard at first, that is why I made this thread
