Strength Archer build up help

Post by Espeon »

Ok, so I'm working on a strength archer, and I'm now at level 15 and I love it. Now, the elementsare the problem for me. I've already selected Pacheon (obviously) and Fire...now if I max both of them to 100, I'll have 100 points left...now where do I put them? I'm thinking 100 Ice, since I found a guide showing how pointless Light is : viewtopic.php?f=4&t=94536

Now, I want opinions...I don't need Light (i think) because im strength and I dont use much magic, and the Parry ratio gets boosted barely. On the other hand, the defense on Ice is worth the skill points, even if I already have a good defense as it is...so...opinions and debates? :D
I'm open to Force...someone would simply have to explain why its worth it.

Next, what skills should i select inside those elements? I found a guide telling me to Max Fire Sheild serie (viewtopic.php?f=5&t=110838). Isn't that skill pointless since Archers dont carry sheilds? :S

I'm kind of a begginer, still don't know everything...so...guidance is welcomed..thank you :D

100 bow/ice/fire
very defensive build with almost same attack power as 100 bow/fire 80 light 20 ice
(due to the mag. att. buff from light)

lacks speed but you can make up for that with a bard in your pt or speed drugs


I'm open to Force...someone would simply have to explain why its worth it.
Force makes you very powerful on 1 vs 1, since you will debuff your opponent and apmlify your damage,
works well on all people who dont have holyword



Next, what skills should i select inside those elements? I found a guide telling me to Max Fire Sheild serie (viewtopic.php?f=5&t=110838). Isn't that skill pointless since Archers dont carry sheilds? :S

the skill stays after you switch the weapon, and you should carry a shield for pvp when you get knocked down anyway

Just depends on the person. If they want more mobility go with 80 light/20 ice. If they want more def go with 68 ice/32 light.

Edit: The 32 light/68 ice build costs about 50% less sp then the 80light/20ice build.

80 light 20 ice would definitely pwn. mainly because of the phantom, at 80 phantom runs a long distance making it a very good strategic move in 1v1 pvp and/or jobbing. it's also FUN to have!!

Erh, I was asking what you did understand about the 32/68 build. I didn't call you stupid. I was trying to help.

I thought you were referring to all things i want to know more about. Everyone does 80/20 and I want to know why 68/32 is good as well. I know theres a new ice def buff but why 32 light?

Cause that's when you can get the first level of phantom,

First level of phantom feels like nothing, feels worthless to use. If your gonna go as far as 68 cold you might as well go the distance and level it to 100 imo. Sure you get a little extra phys def from 68 cold, but you won't notice a very large difference, 100 cold would see a huge difference. The phys def from cold really takes off at the higher levels. It's like the 60>61 fire mag def, in that level it goes from 31 to 70 in one level, unless I was just tired this morning and read it wrong.
