hmm ok. guess i should let my friend help me grind a while if it ever gets hard. thanks for all the info
Iām currently a Lvl 70 archer C3 (Zemyna). Iām going primarily DEX with a Poison Rider Build. There are some questions Iād like to ask:
Did you actually test all three of these builds during CB1?
What are some grinding spots I could take advantage of as an archer?
Are there any tips to finding parties to join around my level?
No mention to Full Draw(even lvl 1 is enough)+Oblique Shot Combo?
Try it,itās amazing
I guess this is as good a place as any to ask a few questions to those playing Sapper.
Do all traps scale with STR? Is it significant or would it be worth more spending more points in SPR/DEX for those single hit traps like Claymore?
Does AoE Attack Range from weapons apply to traps (e.g. Claymore)?
Generally do you end up in a deficit if you try to level up with traps or are they cheap enough that you can easily make up the money?
Even if I disagree to some of your build choices, I think itās nice to see some other angles for archers.
Good job with this guide! 
My Ranger3 build works just fine in both multi-target and single-target (with a 3:1 - 4:1 dex:str ratio). I challenge Barbarian damage, so I hardly consider these the only 3 viable builds.
Iāve been soloāing all quest content easily and quickly and only died once (which was my fault because I trapped myself in a corner with a boss that does huge AOE spells and adds).
way too wonky depending on serverlag/ ping. when i tried to use it the actual location from the monsters differed from the one shown, so i couldnāt hit them at all.
Another Feedback here
IF you class has any ātickā ground type skill max out Kneeling Shot.
ANything youāve launched before crouching starts getting kneeling shot bonus.
Iām C1 Scout and my FLare Shot does some really solid damage when Kneeling.If it works for Sapper it will be VERY strong
It works with any skill that is used before the spell is casted. It gives the same extra damage Kneeling Shot gives. Kinda fun, although pointless after 120+.
just want to confirmā¦
so DEX increases damage of archers? There is nothing written in the stat guides, only for STR and INT.
Does this mean Dex- Con is a viable build?
No it doesnāt.
But damage stats are near worthless anyway. Thereās not many builds that will benefit more from strength or intelligence than spirit or constitution.
Dex helps with the Kneelig Shot Dmg bonus i think
Anyone lv 1xx+ goes full dex from archer c3 here? need feedback about Kneeling Shot at late level.
Here that where all the weak archers come from.
Hadnāt try Archer C3. Even C2.
But honestly, i can say. Full dex is suck, special for Rogue build.
If you noticed it, str give you crit attackā¦ which incread your critical damage output, auto attack dmg and skill dmg. Without str, your crit is same as normal attack with highlight text.
Good thing about dex is it give you eva. Accuracy ? I donāt know that work, but i seen it useless now. It never got miss a single shot.
SPR ? i have 20 spr, and i never ran out of it, except when i solo and clear a whole dungeon map.
Even donāt bother to use pots, cause iām lazy for farming, never have silver for that expensive. I use firewoodā¦ even during boss fight.
Try 2str and 1 dex to lvl 100.
And tell me if you still want to go full dex.
You have massive continuous damage when buffer by a Priest. You can literally join a party and afk while holding Z and still do more damage than most. At level 140, your autos should be doing an average of 1300 damage.
You are missing the point of Full Auto Build. The way stats work in this game, throwing everything in one stat is better than spreading it. You gain 1 extra stat for every 5 from 1~50, then for every 4 from 51~150, then for every 3 from 151~300, then for every 2 from 301~500, 500+ you gain one extra stat always. In case of Str, you gain 1 x 1.R (R = Rank), that means that at Rank 5, every 2 Str gives 3 Str, plus the bonus modifier. So you gain more Str than any other stat if you put points in it.
For an Archer, the Crit Chance is 1% for every 2.2 Crit Chance. The way Crit Attack works is that itās a flat damage that is added to your Crits, itās a lot in the beginning, but not that much in the end.
At level 140, you will usually be using a Snake Bow +5 (209~296) and have 150 stats to spread around (counting Goddess Statues).
With full DEX Build, you have 358~445 Base Damage. With Full STR 599~686 Base Damage. Now, remember, skills only gain addictive damage from Base Damage. When in Kneeling Shot, you gain +195 Attack Damage based on DEX, on a Full DEX Build. That means you have 553~640 Base Damage (Not adding the +102, since both can get it). The big deal now is that you have 223 Base Crit Chance with Full DEX, while only 38 with Full STR, even though you have 250 Critical Attack. With both Swift Step and Kneeling Shot, you have +35 Critical Chance. Enemies at level 140+ have an average of 40 Critical Resistance, thus almost nullifying Full STR chance of Crit, while Full DEX is always close to 100%.
Bottom line, while Full STR shines from level 1~80, from 81+ it starts to lose to Full DEX.

I didnāt tell you to go full str, did i ?
Archer have pure 10-20% crit chance due to the hidden mechanic/bonus stat/base stat class compare to other class. Plug, you have tons of skill and atribute with bonus crit rate and chance.
Why you waste your build for 1 only skill that good for dex build, and leave other many skill ?
Special, Rogue is a hybrid str/dex class, not pure dex or str. They have skill with str base, and dex base, if you go full dex or full str build, you wasted 50% of their acctualy power.

Full Auto Attack AFK build? You mean those bots I see everywhere?
Thereās literally only like 3 good builds you can have with an archerā¦
ā¦Not one of the builds in this guide is one of those 3 
I beg to differ, I am level 91 and still have little issues with SPR/DEX build, aslong as you have firewood for bonfires u are good to go
dont necro ā ā ā ā thats 4 months old and complain about the contents, these builds existed before people had more knowledge about the game and when archers sucked.
too bad the staff are too busy fixing the game to deal with ā ā ā ā ā ā ā necromancers.
