Using Shade top & bottom, and considering I have Rhevisan set to switch to when needed. No shield switching (full 2H-bow build).
TIA
my archer got 40 con rest dex with full leather set never had any problem.
With max petamion and a double rhevisans i’d say you’re good.
I’m assuming you’re not referring to other archers or warriors, because with high dex, comes high evasion. That alone will make it less frequent, but will still happen. Archer classes aren’t really the tanks that the other classes can be, besides diverting dmg with QS, going into barrel with scout, and other skills like this that aren’t dependent on con. I have a 276 fletcher that has 35 con and a 257 wugi2/cannoneer with only 20 con. Stay away from cc’s and don’t get binded by swordys and 10k health is all you need to get kills. Look for the pre-animation of meteor, cause at 10k health, that will kill you. This info is for 2v2. In 5v5, I stay back and let everyone use their initial cc’s then go in. I do have scout on the wugi, so I am cloaked. This doesn’t matter for the folks who use an alt computer and spectate that game. Since head gear and equipment base stats and such now contribute to your characters stats, you can add some health that way too. I used HP gems on items as well, 360 health per gem, helps.
tl;dr… get good, manually keep stuff from hitting you, and 1hit aoe ftw. oh, and 20 - 40 con.
edit: I realize this is really hard to do for a class that runs 3x faster than you, has a huge swinging javelin, and binds/sleeps you (cata), but with high dex/evasion (evasion with swift step being at least 1k) they will still miss or hit relatively low due to lack of strength. Best advice for them, throw down some type of high damage over time skill on top of you, e.g. throw gu pot and magic arrow and hope you kill them first. One more point to make, you can’t expect to always win against someone who has spent millions on attributes for their skills. Silver is an important part of winning in tbl. =\
