Archers...

Post by nirva »

Shouldn't they be built on INT? Since they mostly cast magic attacks? People say to go all STR. Someone explain this to me :S. I shoot about 3 arrows that have only my fire force on it. If I increase my pacheon skills does that increase just magic attacks or both STR + INT?

Archers are STR based, and I'll tell you why.

MOST of the archer attacks take SO long to release, for example: Strong Spirit Bow series. Man, that thing takes like 4 seconds to release, and if your doing a pvp a person will get a good 2-3 hits in, leaving you w/ low health. Thats why you go pure STR, so you have the hp to do those skills.

You can go pure INT, but I don't advise it.

Crystal Wall doesn't inhibit u from attacking, it just inhibits u from moving. After u use crystal wall, u can attack within the wall if the attack is ranged, but u can't move, so that's why crystal wall is useless for blade/glaive/spear/sword users

int archers are more PvE or Guild oriented. They do well in groups or mobs, war and such when you have a tank.

but in a purely PvP environment.. they would be akin to a nuker. cept withtout the option of having a shield, or having as high attack as a spear
