In PVP, anti-devil is your best friend since it crits a lot. People usually use three kinds of skills when killing stuff: anti-devil, arrow combo, and berserker/strong bow combined with elemental imbue. I personally use berserker, anti-devil, arrow combo in that order.

Berserker arrow takes around 1.5x the chargeup of anti-devil, which isn't really that long. I don't have strong bow yet, but from the looks if it, it takes a REALLLY long time to charge up. Maybe 3+ seconds.

Black hawk you need at level 1 or so. And buying astrals is probably a scam, so don't do it :D

Its hard to say which combos to use in pvp with a archer. You must fight each build differently. Here are some archer guides if you haven't seem them already.

The delay time for casting beserker arrow is much shorter than strong bow. I never leveled strong bow but I know berserker arrow has a fast cool down time.

You don't have to skip it. Its helpful but you will get much better results by maxing the white hawk and then getting the blue hawk.

Yea, that is a scam. Monsters do not drop astral.

ok thx for the help

also dmg wise does strong bow or berserker arrow do more dmg (excluding the lvl 69 berserker arrow)

also i know fire is the best for archers, cuz the imbue does more dmg and has the burn effect which does the dmg over time, but what is the dmg difference between fire and cold imbue at lvl 65 +

cuz cold seems more useful fighting monsters as an archer

i might go cold depending on the difference

iirc the strong bow does more dmg then the berserker arrow, but it takes longer to charge.

I use any combination of Anti-Devil, Bezerker, and 4 arrow combo(or any available to you)
and the delay times after casting skills strong bow and berserker arrow.
The only times i use strong bow is to start a champ, or during a giant. During any other time, it simply takes too long.

Yes, skip it. Its useless. You DONT need it to get the blue hawk.
i c ppl selling astral, is that a scam?

Yes, scam....or can be

Ok, i'm new to this game and from what i read i conclude that an archer must have massive strenght and fire imbue.

i'm a lvl 10 archer now and put my skills in (archery duh => devill shot and arow combo) and have cold imbue... :s
is there a way 2 reset my skillpoints?
