Guide My Archer Skill Point Build!

Hi guys, Mike here.
With the release of gavel, the new mechanic of elements has been introduced. This heavily influences skill point builds and weapon choices.

Disclaimer: We are all still new to gavel so this may not be the best build in the end but we will see.

I noticed while playing, that the skill bomb arrow has an earth damage scaling; meaning that points invested in strength will boost this damage type.
As Bomb arrow is still the "bread and butter" spell for archers I recommend investing points into strength.
Secondly I recommend a defensive option (as gavel is much harder) of investing points into agility for dodge chance. Agility points also boost air damage (Both escape and Arrow shield scale off air)
Tl;dr put points equally in AGI and STR. (It maximises damage and still keeps you fairly safe)
There may be the possibility of a DEX AGI build for arrow storm users however that would only be more effective for boss battles.
Leave any comments, suggestions, improvements or questions below.
Happy Gavelling

I will keep this in mind when re-assigning skill points.

 

Good to hear! I wish you luck adventurer.

 

Don't forget about armor! For some reason all the armor with my archer has an INT requirement. Has anyone tested if these requirements are armor-specific or class-specific?

 

I cant say i have found much armor yet, I will add to this once i understand more :P

 

The problem here is that late game earth doesn't scale well with spells, personally in goin dex agi for a high speed high attack speed build

 

I myself am striving for 100 dex/58 agi/30 str/10 int/0 def (at level 100) for a fast class based mostly on default attacks but with good enough str for arrow bomb. It's going pretty good currently (level 60).

 

Huh, this is really useful!
Might use it
