[Archery] Returning player seeking advice.

[Whiskey29]

Hey all

Just getting to grips with all my characters since returning. Dabbled on my Sampire and Mage and tamer, now looking at my archer.

Planning the following build, brackets are from jewellery:

120 Archery
120 Tactics
105 Anat (120)
85 Chiv (100)
90 Healing (105)

Now my dilema comes between poisoning 100, Bushido 100 and Resist spells 100(120). I was thinking of going Poisoning and Bush, and swapping poisoning and resist, but also dabbling with the idea of no bushido and running poison/resist. Any comments?

For stats im human (150/150/rest in mana giving me a pool of around 70), aiming for 60 SSI as close to 210 stam as possible, 40LMC, 45 HCI, HLD from glasses, DI 100. I have full set of slayer composite bows and cameos. Questions, is DCI worth it? currently only have about 30

also need to figure out how to raise my resist caps? I believe you can get them to 75/75/75/75/75 now? I have enough slack to easily meet this, even if cursed.

Thanks

Kat Blade

For Sampire you will need necro of 100. You can try bushido/swords or bushido/archery with necro. Resist is important in the present event due to all the caster mobs in the invasions. sampire archer some folks like them, many will go sampire swords. Poisoning has no place with them that I am aware of, even in pvp.
As an archer you will not need much DCI, 30 is ok. You will be hitting and running, usually no close combat.
Put the sampire together, get mag resist to 100, to get rid oset your macros and dont forget the apples or the macro for despiro malus for the covenants of the necromancy monsters and give him a spin. Get ready to get killed a few times, make sure you insure all items, and a quick dress macro for when you rez. Jpin the fun..and welcome back.

So as an acher sampire your skills would be: Archery/Tactics/Necro 100/Mag Resist 100/Anatomy if you want some more damage output maybe 100 so you can swap it out etc. Also for the present event, 100% fire bow preferaly with undead slayer, and undead cameo. Oh and you may need swap out the healing for sampire to put the rest of the skills in.

Hey thanks, sorry for the confusion, this isnt a sampire template (hence no necro and being unsure of the bushido). I already have that. Trying an archer template instead

A simple pally archer will be able to do all content
120 chivalry
120 resisting spells
120 healing
120 tactics
120 anatomy
120 archer

 

[Whiskey29]

so at the moment I have

120 Archery
120 Tactics
100 (120) anat
90 (105) Chiv
100 Healing
100 poison
90 (110) Resist.

You recommend dropping the poisoning and going for a simple 6x 120 build?

Yes

 

[Whiskey29]

thank you

what are the best stats for bows?

I have made a set of slayer weapons with
HML & HSL
Hit spell (lightning/fireball)
SSI

But should i also have one with velocity? or Splintering? or hit spell area?

The nice thing about being a paladin is with consecrate weapon you don't need 100 elemental damage leaving room for more mods

Velocity works with slayer now.

Hit lower defense or attack.

You need to fit in 80 bushido, else your gonna have a very hard time keeping up with special moves like AI.
