Silkroad Online Forums

Hi guys....I used to play silkroad but quited 3-4 months ago...anyway, I want to come back cause now the servers are empty and you can play:D...I have a lvl 94 archer full str, but I want to farm another char....so I thought of makind a hybrid archer...my plan is this: a 4:1 str archer(this mean that at lvl 100, there would be 80 lvls into str and 20 levels into int)...I made some calculation and I found out that at lvl 100, with a 4:1 hybrid archer with FF equipmend, I would have around 32,5k hp and 19,9k mp, with 104 phy and 65 mag balance...and I would go 100 pach/light/cold...
I thought it would be very good in pvp/jobing this char, because at 4:1 hybrid, I loose like 4,5k hp(at full str I would have around 37khp), but I think that defence buffs from cold would compensate for it...and against int char, would be no problem cause if they have snow shield, I`ll have too, and with 4:1 hybrid archer I would have like 30%snow shield:D...and I think that the 20 lvls in int would increase a bit the damage I`ll make to oponents, and at 104 phy balance I think the crits wont be affected very much..

OK guys so I would like your opinion, what do you think? Will this build work fine in pvp/jobing? I want some experst opinion, I mean players that play silkroad for long or players who are archers, and who know what they are talking about...Me, as an archer(told you I have 94 lvl archer full str) I think it would work realy good, but need your opinion too...
Thx in advance for reading my text and answering me....

hybrid bows are good, but you'll need a really good prot and bow

good, but go fire/cold and buy speed pots. i have 5:1 str hyb bow AND i have big range, so , I dont use speed pots when i grind.

I agree with above, go Fire/Cold. I've experimented a bit with my hybrid archer and found out that Fire/Cold is the best way to go, without the hp of a full str you could really need some extra defense. 4:1 IMO is pretty good, however with 4:1 you have 88% phy naked and that might be a little high. But everything between 85 and 90 is pretty damn good. If you want to maximize your damage as a hybrid try to go towards the 85%. Another thing that has come to my attention is that you think your crits won't be affected too much and you're wrong there. I have something like 100% phy balance and I'm a hybrid and my crits just don't quite compare to a pure str, and by that I don't mean their crits are stronger, I mean the amount that it increases by. I'm something like 85~90% phy naked and my crits do around 50% more damage, so 10k normal ~ 15k crit.

This build is alright in pvp, I can honestly say ints (spear nukers) and glaivers are the easiest to kill in pvp. Ints just can't deal enough damage to hurt you (if you get a garment set) and same with glaivers, they just can't quite deal enough dmg, and they just can't quite survive your massive hits. I've noticed that other bowers are the hardest to kill because of their crits and bladers/ and s/s nukers because of the annoying KD.

Well there, hope I helped~
