120 archery
120 Ninja
90 tactics
80 stealth (120 with items)
100 hiding

are the skills your gonna need. now u can either go with healing and anatomy, or 120 resist and higher tactics, or maybe even fit a melee skill in there for effective deathstrikes....depends on what style u like, the way u play the temp, and how many people u have on your side.

 

[Voiceless]

mm is it useful, to play this template without resist? i wanna work on my team, and what about equip and stats?

 

[[JD]]

I would go with the following minimum

120 archery
100 tactics (damage bonus at 100)
100 hiding
75 stealth (75 is minimum required not to fail in all mediable armor)
100-120 ninjitsu (ninjitsu gives better chance to animal form, as well as determining if poisoned shurriken hit/miss)

Optional stuff:

Anat, Healing, Spirit Speak (for res ganking), Resist

Equip wise you want

45 HCI, as much dci as you can get, all 70's, 40 lmc, 100 DI, enough mana for at least 2+ specials (you will probably qualify for 2nd mana discount), mana increase, MR2, HP increase...

best helm for you is either mace & shield or spirit of totem.

enhance your bows to 40 ssi. you will probably want balaned to chug potions. balance also allows you to throw ninja stars/fukiya darts without disarming the bow.

Statwise depending on items I would put 125 dex, 100 str, 30 int. you want either 150 or 180 stam, with a buffer zone so your swing speed doesn't drop. you can achieve this via dex items, potions, +stamina on armor. ie if you have 130 dex, +32 in stamina items for 162, you can chug a dex pot and be at 180+ stam...

tactics:
start out with dismount from heavy xbow
poison mount and them using shurriken/darts
use mortal if they heal, else use ai/moving shot

smokebomb shares skill timer with hiding, and you cant smokebomb if you've been mana-vamped and have 0 mana.

it is a challenging toon, since you wont have the offensive or defensive ability of other characters. not to mention being in right place/right time to land dismount, but not get piled on by all his friends. if you are field fighting and you dismount someone i would recommend smoke bomb, people are smart and know to pile on the stealther during a dismount

someone said, that i should have 120 archer 120 anat 120 tactics, is it right?

 

[Picus at the office]

No anat and add SS to be a true annoyance. Cure via chug and be a pest. Raid spawns, kill everything. Last minute champ ganks and use tracking for finding hidden protectors. Be red and use conflag pots to reveal.

Have fun.

120 archery
100 Healing
100 Hiding
80 Stealth
100 SS
90 Tactics
120 Ninja
This is all you need to be a pest and every other point can go into med or boosting up the rest.

 

[Voiceless]

a lot of types, but i can't choose one right.
Old players, who have played this template several times, write your opinion please..

 

[ReaperNI]

did you say your rolling with mm from atl? anyways stealth archer are easy to build and play i run

100 archery +headdress
120 tactics
120 ninja
100 hide
70 stealth plus 10 from cloak
90 heal
90 anatnomy
what left over in med

i never miss dismounts and i run 50 hld on my heavy and have 45 hci dci.

TYR

btw if you are rolling with a group check to see if they are watch your health bar as much as their targets

 

[NickyDishes]

listen to who u want....but if your gonna pvp take up resist...ive been playing this template a while and played for a long time without resist.....you will get para ganked and mana vamped and die......id rather have 120 resist than even healing and anatomy....if your gonna have healing with no anatomy you might as well invest the skills somewhere else....your better off using just pots and smoke bombing. 90 tactics is the minimum u need for both specials......going to gm isnt gonna make a damage difference that your gonna notice all that much....plus this template mainly is used with groups of people.....most likely your not gonna 1v1 anybody with a stealth archer, so heavy damage isnt all that important.....your gonna be dismounting for your team half the time, while they dump their spells and specials for the kill.

 

[Voiceless]

i will play with archer, no mages, who can heal my all said different ideas, i don't no, what to do)

 

[CannabisKing]

Looks like your gonna have fun playing more then just one of these temp's. So Im gonna toss my temp in the mix as well.

I carry 2 stones on me now so when I need to pick up stealing, 80 for sig's, I stone my 80 med.
So enjoy yourself with the play style. And to change it up on the fly I can use my 120 swords with a bok for deadly melee fun " NS+ NS+ DS for the win! "

 

[NickyDishes]

yea ive played both stealth archer and deathsriker..........and i really was wondering the other day how this temp would be

120 archery
120 swords
120 stealth
120 ninja
120 tactics
100 hiding

now this temp would be for groups only.....sounds like fun.....a dismount stealth archer who can deathstrike......only con to it is having to rely on pots.......also u could lower stealth tactics and ninja to 90 use jewels to make them 120 and fit in 90 points in something else....maybe bush for nerve or alchemy for better healing and pot throwing.....is it realistic? does anybody run this?

 

[CannabisKing]

Check this out, As ya said bout lowering the other skills to 90 and putting 90 back into bush. Its ok i guess more so for the healing. But Had a buddy on Sonoma who ran the same temp but with 80 spellweaving with a level 5 maybe 6 focus. Damn pixes are killer.

And with the 80 SW ya can heal, res , pretty much what ya looking for?

 

[[JD]]

how do stealth archer and stealth sword deathstriker compare? seems the ds would be more challenging

 

[Picus at the office]

I have a stealth macer death striking guy. He is fun at times and can be used well but over all I don't use him nearly as much as other chars.

I mostly use a old general modded club with him for a quick dismount, then DS followed with a switch to a war axe. Bleed, AI and DS again. Most important thing is making sure you get a tracking off first to make the DS hit for everything you can.

 

[Shinners]

Heres my temp im working toward for pvp/factions

resist 120
ninja 120
archery 120
tactics 100
steath 80
hiding 100

gives me about 75 extra points to use being that im only 715 skill points

im thinking of throwing some in tracking for better deathstrikes unless that has changed since i been gone... what do yall think?

 

[Kellgory]

You do realize that last post to this thread was in July 2010, but to answer your question...Deathstrikes with archery does a lot less damage than deathstrikes from melee dexxers. You could look at plus skill items such as the headdress, stealth robe or cloak, or shadow dancers, and you might be able to add a 120 melee skill to the template that would allow you to perform better deathstrikes, disarms, ect.

 

[Shinners]

yeah i notcied it was way back when but figured i would just start it back up again lol
