[Guide] Archer Cap 100

06/16/2009 21:13 oniDino#1
I. Intro:
Post if any Spelling mistakes any Skills Missing.

Due to the lack of updated Archer guides I've decided to make one for the 100 cap. This guide will be for a 100 Pacheon / 100 fire/ 80 light/ 20 ice. Since this is the best all around Archer build for this cap. This is a very basic and brief overview of what skills you'll need.

So, Why be a pure str Archer?

Pure str Bows are beasts in PvP. With their massive HP they can tank a crazy amount of damage and they deal nice damage in return. They do well in PvE as well since they can tank numerous mobs at one time while tearing through them one by one.
Pros and Cons

Pros:
-You have alot of HP.
-You do nice damage
-You do good in pvp
-Has stun and knock back

Cons:
-You eat tons of MP pots
-You have a lot less Inventory space do to the arrows you need to have.

II. The Gear

You have three options. Armor, Protector and Garment. They key is picking the right gear for your build.

1. Armor gives great physical defense but poor magical defense. It gives no special bonuses.

2. Protector gives you well balanced physical and magical defense. It also increases your moving speed by 10% and reduces your MP consumption by 10%.

3. Garment gives you poor physical defense but great magical defense. It also increases your moving speed by 20% and reduces your MP consumption by 20%.

Which one should I pick?

Well since this is a pure str build which already gives you good phy def do too your massive amount of hp and lacks mag def. And Archers use a ton of MP pots. Plus, having more moving speed is always a plus. We'll be using garment. Which will help balance out our pure str build where it is lacking.

Improving your gear and weapon

Stats for garments
Here is how it works:

-Magical and physical defense power: The higher these stats are, the less damage you'll take from monsters. When buying a non-NPC garment item, I suggest you look for something with high magical def power and/or high physical def power.
-Durability: When you buy or repair an item, it's durability will be at its max. It slowly goes down when you fight mobs. The higher it is, the less you'll have to go to town to repair your items.
-Parry ratio: This is a bit like magical and physical defense power, but it's luck-based. Parry ratio decreases your enemy's chances of dealing high damage on you. This is also very important.
-Magical and physical reinforces: These increase magical or physical defense power a bit. Not as important but not to be ignored.

Good blues for garments:
-Str and int +
-Burn/zombie/cold/shock/darkness time -
-Parry ratio +
-Magical and physical defense +



Stats for your Bow
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
-Magical and physical attack power: just like for garments, but on weapons they don't increase defense, they increase the highest damage you can deal. When you buy a weapon you should always take one that has higher attack power, unless there is another Bow with a bit less attack power but with a good critical (10 and above)
-Durability: Same as for garment.
-Attack rating: Increases your chances of dealing damage. In other words, the offensive parry ratio. Important.
-Critical: Very important for this build. I suggest you buy a Bow with at least 7-10 critical. Why? Because as a pure strength Archer, when you hit a critical with Anti devil bow-Missile, you'll 1 hit kill your mob.
-Mag and phy reinforces: Same as for garment but these are for attack, not defense.

Good blues for Bow:
-Block ratio + (this doesn't make you block attacks... it decreases your enemy's chances of blocking your attack if he has a shield)
-Critical +
-Str and Int +
-Attack rating +

His guide is based on the BOW build, with 100 pacheon, 100 fire, 80 light, 20 cold... Sounds a lot like yours, isn't it? The only part that mentions other builds is in the PVP Tactics using that type of char, nothing else. Your guide is pretty much the same, but I think the other one is way better...

Good job anyways ;)
