sorry guys... i got a lot of questions as i advance -.- ill try to ask all my questions right here.

anyway, i just started a Chinese archer (im new to chinese)

i was going to aim for a 90 heskutal (or w.e it is), 90 fire, 90 light, and 30 cold. whats good or bad?

for my elements, should i concentrate on one element then expand? or try to cover all of them?

which skills are crucial for an archer... and which skills are a no-no?

is it good to use cloth or protectors?

also... can you guys give me some pointers on playing an archer?

thanks for your time -.- and sorry about all those questions -.-

You mean Pacheon and we have 100 cap now. But you can aim for 90/90/90/30 and later change it to 100/100/80Light/20Ice

You should atleast keep your fire up to date with your Pacheon, Light could stay a bit lower if you don't have the sp to keep them all up.

which skills are crucial for an archer... and which skills are a no-no?
You will need the 1st/2nd/3rd/5th/6th/7th/8th/9th line. The only skill that is really optional is the Autumn Series. I don't find them very usefull, the damage is alright (about the same as the 1st row (Anti Devil series) But the Anti Devil skill has a crit increase status on the skill so I prefer a lower book Anti Devil over a maxed Autumn skill. Also if you don't have the sp you could skip the 8th skill because I didn't find myself using it alot while grinding.

is it good to use cloth or protectors?
Well if you're planning on going 20/30 Ice later on I would go with prot for the str builds, but if you grind alot and don't pvp very often I'd go with garm for the speed increase and mp reduction.

also... can you guys give me some pointers on playing an archer?
Try to find mobs you can 2skill while grinding, 1skill would be even better but then you'd need a sun weapon or alot lower lvl mobs hehe. Don't waste your time on arrow combo's during grinding, you can link the Strong bow, Explosion arrow and 2 Anti Devil books perfectly with eachother. For PvP I suggest you don't spam kb like some idiot and only use it when you really need it. You should also learn to use Fire Wall effeciently in PvP.
thanks for your time -.- and sorry about all those questions -.-

Don't worry about the questions, that's what we're here for. If you got more questions just let me know ^^ I got a high lvl bower myself so I should be able to help out.
