Archer And Elements

So I've started a new Archer recently and was wondering if elemental damage is important to him or if getting high neutral dmg would be better. (I had one on 40 but decided to restart since i couldn't get far with the stuff i had) Currently lv 13 and running around with an iron String bow (47-63 neutral dmg , +3strenght +5% melee dmg -1 agi and -2% spelldmg)

 

Well, it depends;

in general, a big range of elemental damage is to be preferred, since most people have a weakness against at least one of them;
on the other hand, some bosses (Bob, Qira...) are immune / resistent to elemental damage, making such a weapon a good choice.

 

Well, I recall the Arrow Bomb Spell dealing Fire and Earth damage along with whatever damage you already do. So, if you invest your Skill Points into Fire, Earth, and Water, it would decrease your Mana usage, boost the power of your Arrow Bombs, and give you a tankier build to work with. However, if you want quick speed to go with the Speed Boost you get from higher levels of Escape Spell, then an Air, Water, and potentially something else could be another option.
However, the big bosses are immune to Elemental damage, so you may want to switch your weapon or type of build when fighting them.

 

You can't really do anything to get better neutral dmg. Just go with a build you like and have a secondary weapon which does neutral damage for bosses like bob.

 

Ahh so in general i would be better off having one neutral weapon with a wide range of elements and one neutral weapon for boss fights who are immune to such damage. That's good to know.

Well i also have to look our for the requirements on certain equipment pieces. But i guess later on i want to priotize certain elements to be efficient. I also guess that bomb arrow is better for leveling later instead of arrow storm.
