i am no archer expert, but just give some more informations to the community...
Level?
Equip?
PVE or PVP?
own experiences?

Archer is very simple, so i think you can manage that very easy...just to find the perfect 120 build is a bit different

greetings,

Right now I'm lvl 40.. using some old build I found.. but I would like to know more about this class.. if there's any good guide that explain things..
and build for my next lvls..
i'm wondering at what lvl I should reset and I need build after the reseting..

right now I need for PVE and after reseting for PVP

Well its been a while since I was lvl 40, but this is what i got for you. Its a simple PvE build. Work on upgrading Phoenix once your 43 (or whenever you get it). Made this on drwx's skill builder. But basically for PvE you want attacks that have an area of effect. And you want buffs that allow you to take hits (rock skin for example). But of course for an archer you can run and hit from a distance which helps a lot from taking hits. That allows you to take a large amount of targets to kill. Some of those skills I picked dont really need to be added, like dash or crit, but they can help. Crit can surely be removed, but add it later for PvP.

Bow Passive? I dont have this skills in my combo skills..

btw.. Its not too early to reset? cuz I thought I should save for the heroic skills no?

Thanks for helping

Up until lvl 62, the bow and crossbow have the same casting time speed. The crossbow, however, does more damage, so it would be advised to use a crossbow.

At lvl 62, the archer can (and needs to) buy a passive called superior marksmanship. This gives more damage and higher cast speed time to your character WHEN USING A BOW only.

So most people use their reset at that level. You should indeed always be aware of where you want to go with your skillbuild (though you can always buy a reset with w(c) coins).

Don't know if you know this website, but you can, among other things, try making a skillbuild for any level.

Dont use a crossbow lol. Best to use a bow. But if I were you, wait to reset for pvp when you can get all Combo skills. I did a reset at lvl 75ish for pvp/pve (mainly pvp though). And I was good up from there!

[Gas90]

Ok I guess I'll save to reset for around lvls 60-70...

wondering about my weapon and the stones I should use?
Agility? Stamina? what's more important to me?

anyway.. more tips would be great

[Voldonx]

Later on almost everything you own should have scion prayer stones. For now though, stamina all the way and attack prayer stones in your weapon.

[Gas90]

Thanks for helping everyone..
anymore tips? builds for later lvls? anything else that can be usefull?
I'm almost lvl 47.. wondering about my combo build

Thanks

This is what I suggest for lv 50 - mostly pve build


And this is for lv 71 - pvp/pve build

[Gas90]

Krython, thanks but wanted to ask few things..
why would I need Far Sight and Mana Gain?

thanks!

Ur Archer will soon become a Mana piggy.
Combo skills & HH skills use alot of mana, and you will begin
to cast combat skills very quickly and sadly discover that
you have no more mana to attack with. It can be annoying
in PVE, waiting on mana recharge to hit the mob again, but it is
death in PvP much of the time.

Good Luck
