70:70. Ice or Fire?

CutePoison · Post by **CutePoison** » Mon Jul 02, 2007 9:34 pm

I just want to have some advices. I will start a 70:70 archer soon.
I dont want to skill anything down so i want to know which tree is better for 70:70 archer. Ice or Fire?

I thought about doing something like 3:1 Inthybrid archer to have more mana = better for mana shield, more atk power cause fire buff is not so important.

Once and 4 All
Archer are not made for high damage!!!
Archer job is to attack from far away and slow your enemy down
we all know fire is stronger than ice,but thas why you can get ice+light
Light is almost as strong as fire.

so now you understand Get ice+light let the other people get fire
i think fire is a useless skill only good when fighting Nuker's.

Im in the process of dropping my Fire Imbue and im a StR Hyb I will still use all 3 trees for buffs but it tells you something after I deleveled my light I realised that leveling up fire is pointless the spash from light and Freeze from ice are what I need not an extra ~50dmg :banghead:

Fire. I've tried 70:70 with cold and it's damage is awful. The idea is to take down the mob of ur level with devil + combo. With cold, I needed Devil + Berzerker.

I am in the process of putting together some real data on the damage differences depending on imbue and balances.

If you have more than 1 imbue of similar level please pm me.

@SaveMe: Are you pure str or hybrid?

When i skill light and ice i would lose 13% phy damage...which is a lot.
(7% from buff 6% from passive skill)

So it would be better to go with fire...

Fire for buffs, light for buffs, ice for imbues and buffs

I'm Hybrid.
and the 13% Damage you say you lose
Get some money and get some som armor seal of sun bow and i bet the 13% [hy damage lose won't matter much.
