Class and Rank Archer
#1

I’m brand new to the Archer section, so go easy on me. :wink:

After exhausting all the builds in the cleric tree, I’ve been interested in archer builds. I am especially interested in having a very mobile build. The idea is to use mobility as my defense. I realize this will not work at higher levels when most of the monsters are archer/mage types. I’m an archer newbie so advice is welcome:

Stats: STR:DEX:CON 2:1:1

Thoughts:
-QS for Running Shot of course
-SR mostly for mount and increased mobility
-Archer C3 for max Kneeling Shot and Swift Step

you should take a r7job , they vastly outstrip all the other r7 cycle by far.

dont use Con.
Sr is only so-so , may be fun for solo player, but you wont be verry popular in a team pve, and pvp SR is useless.
the build you use (qs3 archer2(3)) is called the turret build, you basicly only play with auto attacks, by buffing with running shot , then kneeling, that give you amazing auto attacks and amazing attack speed, verry boring gameplay, generaly use by bots, but still effective for leveling and farming.

agreed, but not completily, you still need CON, because if u don’t invest some points, probably will get some one shot kill in high level mobs.

pve your solo or duo/trio will be fun, but a full party will be hard for you because you don’t get any rank 7 classes. musketeer in this build could be nice.

well, I don’t think it is boring and the bots thing is generally because of kneling shot…farming it’s not that good as long you don’t have alot of options to do AoE dmg

optimize this build is very hard, you don’t have other options to modify the path, you could choose wugoshi to try auto + poison with zendhu or fletcher with broadhead + bodkin point with armor pen and bleeding

You make good points, maybe i didnt go high lvl enough to need CON.
when do you start needing it ?

mobs higher than 145 you should be careful, well, If u got 30~50 I think its more than enough…30 if you have a “safe build” with tons of spamming skills ot control better the mobs, 50 maybe if you use alot of kneling shot like this build above.

ofc, the “high” level we are talking about right now it’s 250~280, as IMC already said the game will have like lv 500~600 so I guess that defensive sets and stats will be needed.

I want to take another game as a mirror situation, path of exile on his early beta tons of people focus on damage, then the game mid~late game was extremely punishing those who only got ofensive stats…
