I Think Im On the Right Track

[sLyFoX]

OK...since starting, all of my combat has gone into pacheon (archer) for a start. im also fully fire, and my fire lvl is never 2 lvls below my combat lvl (of 21 atm) basically its the same or 1 below. also, i desided to invest some SP into force for the healing, ressurecting and extra mana.

now, as for int/str id say im 45% str, 55% int. i was originally pure int but i was getting owned with such little HP so i decided to go hybrid.

now, in my fire and archer skills, i have most of the spells up to 17 added, and the lower ones (spells 1-3) i have upgraded to lvl 3-5, eg river fire or autumn wind (w/e im not in game atm )

PS i voted no.3 so i wouldnt interfere with the Yes/No's from you, leeter players

A good thing you'v done is chose what different type of skills you want and levled them.

It depends...
It seems like a pretty good build for PvE but as for PvP I'm not sure.

Good archer skills to get are either the top or fourth one, whichever you prefer, the double hits one, the bird one, the one that increases your distance and the spirit one near the bottom.

As for fire just use the top one.

I like archer the best and the most important thing is to not upgrade everything until you need it, I use ice and I start the attack with the top weapon skill and ice combined and then I use the double hit, I don't have my skills maxed out that way I can get more SP as I play, I only upgrade when my killing combo fails to kill them before they get to me.

Right now I'm level 17 cuz I keep starting again lol with my skills on 13 and I can kill the level 16 bandits with my combo, when the monsters withstand my combo I'll upgrade my skills until it kills them.

Having a high critical weapon helps, if you see one then buy it even if you won't need it for 10 levels. I had a level 8 bow with 10 and a 13 with 9 and they made a lot of difference, my 26 bow won't be needed for ages but it also has 9 and I have a level 29 spear with 14.

Ideally I like to finish the quests and be left with no quests to do, that way I can farm SP until I level up again, doing this keeps my SP around 500 all the time.

I'm also a Fire archer

I'm lvl13 and Int based, i have a ratio of 2 Int : 1 Strenght

I used garment until lvl13, and i was doing pretty well
but now, there are stronger monsters, so i switched to Armor.

i'm lvling the first fire skill and a few pacheon skills.

anyway, i dont need much defense, because with this brutal combination, mobs can only hit me one time, and only if they move fast.

i've had other meele characters, and one thing is for sure: Int based archer level up much faster than any other meele character.

yeh, my lvl 18 bow has a god crit of 8, i havent bought a lvl 21 bow yet because ive had trouble looking for 1 with good stats and maybe a blue. wow, you keep your SP around 500? i dont get anywhere near that much-highest ive had was 120 however if i feel the need to upgrade something mid-lvl, i usually do. also, good advice with the fire skills, yes i use the top fire skill (river fire), bird, and the 1st and third pacheon skills. i assigned them to the hot keys so basically 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 have my most used attacking spells. further along i have some defence spells and 9 and 0 i assigned HP/Mana pots. this system, for me works well, as when im about to attack a enemy..hit 1+3 or 1+2..adds fire to bow+special pacheon, this combo his around 200-300 each time, and in too hits i can take half a chakji..then i usually just hit 1 to finish him off without pacheon spec.

im keeping my int/str 50/50 because im not ice, i cant slow the enemy down and therefore on a higher lvl monster i really need some HP (mine atm is 995 i think, im not in game atm) while my mana is about 1200. when i head back to town i buy about 100 of each pot HP/mana, and about 2k arrows from the blackie. if i run out of HP pots i can still stay out longer, using self heal -i love force powers as a second skill. if i run out of mana pots its straight back to jangan coz i cant self heal my mana mid battle

PS good to know i chose a build which isnt to useless, thanks guys/girls (not sure )
