Help for a tamer archer

I had a char on Europe that was Tamer but also had Archery. I almost never played because all the tamers I have Peace and I don't know how to play in another way. But I like this here. I moved it to Atlantic and I'm looking for a way to make her play the best. I also had two fabulous pets. A White Wirm not trained but with more than 800 strength (and 3 slots) and a Dread Warhorse with More of 560 strength. So I would have very good pets (after the train) that could help me. Now my char has archery at 120 Real, Taming 120 Real, 110 Lore and 90 vet (to be able to ress my pet). I put Bushido and Chivalry (I have an archer with those skills and I am very well), with the jewels they should get to 110. But what do I put? I am fought between Anatomy, Tactics and Healing. Can anyone give me advice? Thank you!!

How many points do you have in chiv and bush? Tactics needs to be at least 60 for weapon speacials, 120 for most damage. Anatomy for another boost to damage.

60-80 chiv, and 50 bush for best use.

Now I don't remember exactly how many points I have because I use jewelry and I get almost 100 with them. I have about 100 points left. 80 chivalry seems little to me and especially 50 bushido. However, I will try to remove the jewels so I have extra points. So you advise me to add anatomy? Not healing or tactics? Why? I am not yet very good with the skills from Warrior, normally I use Peace and I have almost everything to 100 Real. I really have to change the type of game!! Thank you!!

There is a good discussion on the type of tamer you are looking to build in this thread:

Thanks, I'm reading it! But my doubt is what to add between tactics, Healing and anatomy. I want bushido and chivalry high, especially chivalry. The way I built my tamer archer, I can only add one of those three skills. And everyone has their own idea :)

I hear you there. What always matters to me is playstyle. I have tried Bushido on my Archer/Tamer but imho the bumps were not worth the points.

This is my tried and true template for that character. It works well for me, but is highly item dependent.

The only WWs that can have 800+ STR (up to 825), are Gen 1 "Ancient" WWs. These are incredibly rare, with only 6 currently known to exist, and not all of them have STR that high. If it makes this loud roar sound when given a command, it is most definitely a Gen 1. https://uo.stratics.com/hunters/sounds/dragon1.mpg
If it is a Gen 1, i'd highly recommend against slot leveling it. An 800+ STR Gen 1 WW is worth MULTIPLE Platinum. You do not want to mess up the leveling process on such an insanely rare and powerful pet (there's less Gen 1 WWs, than there are Blaze Cu Sidhes).

The reason i put 50.0 Bushido on Archer/Tamers, is for access to Honor (which helps to hit the damage cap against foes with no Slayers, and boosts your Luck against that foe), and access to Armor Pierce/Double Shot from a Yumi. Double Shot can out damage AI against certain foes when you're utilizing the right Element on your weapon, especially if the foe is under debuffs like Discord/Rune Corruption/Conductive Blast.

I checked well and the WW has 786 strength, not 800. But I also have an old Warhorse dread with 500 and more strength. With a triton and a moldering Ursine I think that I can go to kill some cool monster!! I love bushido but I will listen to you. Taming anyway I have it 120 real because I read somewhere that with less you can not tame or control the pets well. So I'll put bushido at 50. archery at 120 reals and only 90 Vets. Today I try to fix it and with the stitches I have left I add Healing. Later I'll show you how I built it, hoping it will become a good tamer. I don't have much money and I don't have any special items to make the archer strong enough :(

Even 786 STR is higher than Gen 2-4 WWs can possess, they max out at 760 STR. So check the sound that your White Wyrm makes when commanded, it might actually be a Gen 1 "Ancient" WW.
