Archer/Hunter Endgame Thunder-water Build

The purpose of this build was to have no negative defenses and decent hp while still having a decent-good damage output with good mana regen.

Spoiler: Helmet

Skillpoints, % spell, % thunder, mana regen

Spoiler: Chestplate

Health, elemental defenses, % thunder dmg, mana regen

Spoiler: Leggings

Mana regen, % thunder damage, % spell damage, i guess raw spell damage

Spoiler: Boots

Health, % spell damage, raw spell damage

Spoiler: Ring #1

pretty sure the best damage ring for any single/dual/tri/quad/rainbow elements. Replacements would be black ring or barrage.

Spoiler: Ring #2

Banking on the fact that melee is suicidal with this build. If you feel like you already have enough mana then go for another intensity/black ring/barrage

Spoiler: Bracelet

why did i use this(31% thunder damage)

Spoiler: Necklace

if you really want use electric torc, but using a willpower ruins the point of the build(top of thread)

Spoiler: Weapon

Yes, i realize that hive bow with 5 t6s does more consistent damage but I didn't want to use another hive voucher on this

Spoiler: Total Ids

Total Hitpoints: 10-11kish
Skillpoint wise, put 33 in agi, then get enough in int/dex to put all your stuff on, from that point dump enough points into int to get 3 mana bombs and dump the rest in dex.
Damagewise, your bombs will do around 10-12k average damage, arrow shield will match that or do a little less, escape will do 4-6k, and your arrowstorm will do(whats displayed anyways) about 700 damage per arrow.
Important thing: Do not land your arrow bombs directly at mobs/players, as it will trigger lifesteal/manasteal which is the bane of your existance in this build.
also dont be a dumbass like me to get a cluster with high exploding

 

the flaw is the Life Steal and Mana steal.. although you do a neat amount of damage... you will get rekt pretty easily if you dont take some security measures with the way you hit... and a "thundah" build is more about being less the strategic guy and not the one that takes its time to kill a party of mobs (dunno.. its my opinion)

 

Archer's melee has a significant disadvantage over other classes, which is why I chose to use knucklebones and sacrifice my melee. Also, with nearly anything, if you aren't strategic you die.

 

Not really, it's the only class that can melee from afar
(Well you need to be a xNoScop3r but eh)

 

@Andkorn ;o

 

Something that I can't do(alot)
plus the fact that this builds melee hits about 300-1200 which isnt even that good considering stuff like gma+tier

 

The problem is that your goal was to try to have no negative elemental defenses, and you have no raw elemental defense, but you still have -60% earth defense and negative percent air defense from Dark Channeler...

 

You have positive air defense, so that isn't a problem, and you have 0 earth defense. Tell me what 0 minus 50% of 0 is.

 

Alright about the positive air defense, but is that really how % defense works? So I could have -1000% elemental defense from identifications, but 0 from items, and in total, take 0% more damage?

 

What's 0 minus 1000% of 0

 

Mine's got more damage but less health :p

 

Yes, I get that if that is how elemental defense works, then you're correct. However, I'm not sure that's how it works. I'd expect it to be additive, because if your assumptions are correct, having negative raw elemental defense and very low percent elemental defense could make positive total elemental defense, which doesn't make sense at all.

 

You are right there but I did have someone test damage of all 5 of my defenses and I took no more earth than fire damage

 

Two words: Abysso Galoshes (even though you told me you weren't going to use them I had to say it) Since you're going full thunder damage you might as well just use a thunder damage build with 9/4 mana and 68 intelligence. I would personally use 2 t6 water and 2 t6 thunder since you are kinda wasting water damage, but theres no way you will remove the powders and of course you will do less dmg to elemental tanks.

 

Might as well

 

He's right tho, the archery mechanism is horrible in wynn.

 

well damn the damage indicators are 100% bullshit and my damage is actually alot more

 

might as well

 

Might as well

 

Will T6 instead of T5 powders make a huge difference?
