i got an archer 3 scout 3 cannoneer, i can farm 130/145 dungeons in 15-20 mins and i can also TBL for fun with 1.3k evasion, i got 100% crit and +13 superior wreech bow transcended and double red gems, it reaches 1k physical attack with weapon buff.
my archer has 50 con (total) because i feel like 50 con is the best for everything as a base con.
Maybe a bit more if you want to pvp but for farming 130-145 50 con is enough. (assuming you gonna lvl to 250+ and not just leave ur scout at rank 6)
being able to crit is important for maximum dps and performance, my preference is to go high dex with swift step and get high dex and then enhance my weapons and get physical attack and crit attack gear
just an easier way to get crits imo, i don’t have infinite amount of silver to spend on sissel bracelets (which are essential to anyone who wants to achieve max crit rate while building str)
i also believe that criting 100% of the time is stronger.
As nicola said you can also do hybrid if you like, hybrid stats are a budget stat build, so if you don’t have access to silver and can’t do the minimum of enhancing your weapon, i’d go hybrid
definitely not full str on an archer build who is going to be a mergen, you need to reach crit cap, or at least 80% crit in my opinion to achieve maximum dps.
