Archer Skills

Hey guys I’m building an air archer utilizing agility and air equipment. I’m dumping all my skill points into and at level 50 I’ll have 100 agility points… what should I put the rest of my skill into? Tips and advice?

 

You probably shouldn't go for 100 agi at level 50, at least spread it out a bit more, if you're going agi you'll probably want dexterity, as there are a lot of armors and weapons with the air/thunder pairing.
You should probably go 50/50 with it, and put 1 point in each per level so you aren't super skewed

 

What the person above said and also intelligence, as Lower spell costs is op

 

Good idea! I want to use as much air equipment as possible so I don’t mind using other skills if the equipment requires dexterity and agility.

so agility is common with dexterity, is agility also common with intelligence or strength?

I haven’t reach past level 60 areas so I don’t know Late game areas at all

________________________________

wouldn’t dexterity be a better choice for an archer? Without a water build it still can be a challenge to sustain your mana meaning you need to rely on your weapon a lot, wouldn’t dexterity be better cause it would give a strong boost to both weapon and spell damage?

 

Occasionally with intelligence, but agility/strength items are rarer, mostly because of the opposing earth/air elements.

 

Also just a side question, does dexterity equipment ever give walk speed boosts too?

 

I mean from my experience with my archer melee is kinda bad and I’ve relied on spells mainly (I’m only lvl 99 rn as my first class)
But to me being able to cast more spells seems way better than having them do slightly more dmg
Idk about armor tho cause I’ve only used morph the whole game til 90, and I just did stat points to use my armor and intel on the rest and it worked fine

 

Sometimes, but not as often or as much as agility.

 

Thanks guys! One more question, Is there a reliable amount of just pure air equipment towards the end of the game? Or does most of it cross with other elements

 

I’m not sure about armor as I’m not endgame yet, but I do know out of the non mythic bows cluster and orange lily are the best, and they are not air, tho if u want to there are options like gale’s force. If u mean mythic bows too stratiformus exists and is a really good bow, so it is viable.

(Tho as I said earlier I could very well be wrong, I am not in endgame yet only lvl 99. Some of this is what I’ve heard said a lot and not tested myself, so just keep that in mind.)

 

prior to endgame, intelligence is just simply so strong that it invalidates almost every other playstyle, including your suggested dex/agi. i'd recommend to just go wa (water + air), investing just enough agility to use your air equipment and using remaining points to buy the best spell cost threshold you can. going trielemental into twa could be fine, but be a bit more skeptical or high-req items there.

single elemental builds are not viable at endgame. you probably expect to run xwa; that is, a focus on water and air, with possible investments elsewhere. such a build could readily contain pure air items like unravel or sagittarius, but some balance is required in order to ensure the practicality of your concept.


you seem to have a lot of questions that aren't comprehensively answered around this topic. feel free to reach out to me on forums or discord if you need to.

 

Yeah! Thanks man! What’s your discord?

 

A combination of both. While there is pure air equipment, it really is better to at least try to go for a dual or triple element build
That being said if you really need anything related to armor and builds then just go to Atlas Inc build aid and they can whip up pretty much anything you could ever need

at level 50 i would reccomend going for a mana setup. Because most melee archer weapons that can really do damage at your level are either very slow or very hard to obtain. Try using a water bow, and use lots of intel, then assign skillpoints just to meet armour requirements.
