Cloth Armor or Protector for Archer?

Post by shawnswoloch »

Ok so im playing an archer right now and im 106, in my opinion i like to use armor, most mobs are physical so i grind more efficiently, but every other archer is ee uses Garmets, what is so good abt garmets besides the move speeed boost and mana boost thing, i mean i think its better for pvp but as your lvling you arent pvping that much. So what do you guys think i should do, Armor, Garmets, or Protecot??????

Go protector.

As a bow, int's shouldn't really be a problem for you, especially since you can just spam kb and what not, if needed. Wearing protector makes you do much better against str chars, and what not.

Go Prot. There are several magical mobs in Alexandria too, but you're probably not gonna grind on them.

You should prob grind on mobs that can barely touch you. When I grind i use 100hp pots against 750mp pots. So I wear garment, just to save up on mp.

If you grind on mobs that can touch you, go prot or armor.

I thought they are talking about archers, archers got a huge range, maybe he/she means grind on slow mobs.
So in the first week in college i went with jeans and the pajama's shirt. Didn't notice what i was wearing till after i returned home.

When soloing, it's best to grind on the highest mobs you can 1hit. While 1 hitting, you rarely get attacked, your chances of dying there are low, and you can zerk extremely often. There's a 113 STR archer in my server who's soloing at 106's 24/7 and leveling faster than euros in 24/7 euro only 118 parties. Thus, I would recommend garment for speed and to save on mp costs.

As for pvp, a very good friend of mine who is also an STR archer started with armor, then went garment, now he's prot. It seems to be the best for no matter who he pvps...

I assume that a friend gave you the char, since you are 106 and don't know what armor to wear.

Therefor, give the char to me :sohappy: joke

Like said above, Archers generally grind on mobs that don't use ranged anyways. I used cloth on my archer for the longest time just for the speed.

If you have a good sun bow, you don't have to grind at blue mobs to kill fast.

Who grinds on Blue? Even with a +5 you wouldn't need to.

If you have more problems with wiz/nukers/magical mobs use robes
If you have more problems with warriors/rogues/physical mobs use protector or armor
