Archer Dex, Str question

Am i the only 1 who has Problems leveling an archer?

I go Full dex lvl 180 right Now and archer c2 > qs c3 > falconer c1.

All my Skills do absolutely no dmg. Even though i die the hg sets with Str.

With Complete buffs i do only around 1k dmg each hit.
Its for instance really hard to grind at demon prison 2

Is the meta now full Str?

Buy blessing and sacrament from pardoner shop. With correct blessing it should be 2k per line.

Dex doesn’t improve your damage unless you crit
If you want to have consistent damage (without crit) you should invest in STR
Also most of your damage comes from your weapon so make sure you have a good one for your level range and always buy pardoner buffs

True, nur takes 4ever in like demon prison to kill a group of mobs xD. My impression right now is, that archer is pretty slow in lvling

Like someone else stated buying buffs from a good pardoner shop will help. Also, if you haven’t, you could try getting enchant fire skill scrolls or a cafrisun armour set, each add another line of damage.

Whether you go STR or DEX really doesn’t make much difference in the amount you hit, DEX has good benefits as a secondary stat, but other than that the only stats that truly offer any significant value are CON and SPR.

STR/INT is kind of like a funny prank played by the developers. Investing in them can give you about 5-30% of what a weapon gives depending on how weak the weapon is, but it doesn’t really compare to the alternative option.

This can’t be the right complete buffs. Like @Lostac said, blessing and sac should be at least 2k damage per hit. You need to find your server’s top buffer.

The buffs have been nerved recently

you took a poor pardoner’s buffs. make sure you find a pardoner with high spr.

also 90% of your dmg comes from weapon not from stats. Thats why the stat system is bargage atm, you can even go full con and get better profit than pickign anything else lol

i took 17/17/17/12 pardoner buffs…
look at the screens. I think im just not satisfied with the clearing speed… I can’t even clear a room before they respawn xD…
Also I am already using cafrisun set

I do a little dmg. 1 AA is 3 hits with each 1.5k.


Use anvil on weapon to reach +6 if you have silvers to spend.

Place Pavise to lure mob.
Throw falconer Pheasant skill and immediately use roost. Use Call. If you have kneeling shot, use roost into pheasant and immediately kneel. Jump to cancel kneeling stance.
Throw caltrops or another pavise. Cast Circling and use multishot or throw caltrops on mob. Use call.
Use Running shot buffed attack to kill mobs during your walk to a new room.

Sorry for the question but what is Pavise? I do not own this skill

L1 + B

It puts a shield down which monsters will attack.

Or if you aren’t in controller mode F

The shield is a taunt o.o? didn’t know that xD

I must use the correct name Deploy Pavise.

I did not realize you are a new character. The combo I recommended with Circling + multishot/caltrops does not work until you have AoE attack ratio items and cards, so please ignore this combo.

Your combo for AoE will be pavise to taunt mob, then roost -> throw pheasant -> kneeling shot. Once pheasant attack animation is finished, use jump to auto-cancel kneeling shot stance, and use Call to retrieve bird.

it also can cause bleeding wich make it nice for combo with other skills like backstab…

Caltrops also aggro enemies and bosses…

It’s not only about the blessing level, SPR multiplier of the buff shop pardoner is more important.

A pardoner with 1 SPR but level 17 blessing would give you a bad output.

A pardoner with 1050 SPR but level 16 blessing would still give you 2k+

After buying a buff with effects on, you should be able to see actual blessing amount.

Im quoting greyhiem Here:
No SPR bonus from shop bless. No bonus from shop bless (max ~ +170, always from shop).
Only normal bless (60 second duration) buff will get bonus.

Only attribute for bless will be used for shop.
You can go full CON, your shop bless will be 170.
You can go full SPR, your shop bless will still be 170.
Full str, shop bless still 170.

Yes, 0 spr same as 300 spr for shop.

You can use best stats to level quickly to pardoner2

You or greyhiem are spreading false Information. You always get the same Buff from pardener Shop.

It only makes a diff when the priest is buffing you without a shop

Have you checked the date of that post? Non shop blessing duration has been 5 minutes for a long time now while you reference a 60s duration. That aside, SPR does affect the blessing bonuses right now.

Decent blessings give 1.7-1.8k damage. Ones that give 2k or more are the more dedicated ones with more gear investment. 2.3k blessing is max or close to max. Check pardoners gear before buying buff and use addon to favorite those shops.
