go hybrid :P i am a pure str right now but my goal is a 88/42 naked balance which i will get at lvl 56

at lvl 80 i have 3k hp less than a pure str archer, but i will do higher crits and higher dmg.

Pure str archer now can not beat other pure str build if same eq. archers got nothing.... ok distance is not a real advantage in pvp cuz wow you get 1st shot and thats maybe it, if u phantom, they phatom, so no real advantage, and u cant win with just anti-devil, berseker arrow, 2/3/4 relay the skills dont doo enough dmg at low lvl so you need strong bow, but that takes too long, cuz other players just KD or stun you and ur screwed.

but with higher dmg you might have a chance. and with the new skills coming archers get stun and Knockback, then the balance probably be more toward the int side cuz you dont need the hp to take the hits cuz you have them to help alot.

Pure str has hard crits than hybrid str ^^, but your other dmg will be higher.

I have pure str archer, and he's cool.

He's never pvped before, so I dunno how he'd do.

hybrid is a lot better because u do more dmg and u dont rely on the crits of the pure str as much

I'm sure my question is very nooby, but after all i really want to ask it.
What does 'str' mean?

str = strength
pure str = everytime you lvl u put ur stats into str

IIRC my previous answer

Not bad, yet boring cookiecutter build > full str bow
Possible good, fun new build > some hybrid bow
