Archer build

[Titanio]

Hi, its me again, I only wanted to ask all of you what type of archer build so you play with? (what armor, accesories, bows, stats, skills or race)

An archer build that i am using is the arcane archer type.
all Stats in strength, will and evasion.
The whitewood bow for the Skill of frost arrow
The other skills are entropic winds, crowd control and assassinate.
The gear is all evasion oriented
And the race is and wyld elf thief.

Thats the build I am using, What yours?

I set up a deliberately non-optimized build for fun, trying to recreate an old-school Final Fantasy-style White Mage when they also tended to double as archers. Hence they've got Willpower as their big focus followed by Agility and everything else gets points spread around. I also went Whitewood Bow for Frost Arrow (because some old FF bows worked like that) but swap that and Heal out for each other depending on who else I'm bringing along. I tend to keep Crowd Control on one Recharge slot and assign a White Mage skill to the other (again) based on the party.

It's quite a bit of fun and extremely versatile, even if it's not as good at either job as a dedicated build would be.

Nice, I chose frost arrow and entropic winds because EW makes the frost arrow stronger.

The build I'm using is based on something I read in these forums quite some time ago. It's a more physical style based around high Armour and Armour Penetration, with Evasion as a secondary stat. The main stats are Strength (for damage), Agility (for accuracy, initiative and evasion) and Cunning (for massive crits), class is Thief, powers are Arcane Shot (for enemies strong against physical damage but weak to magical damage), Crowd Control (for AoE), Sure Shot, Dastardly Trick and Assassinate, equipment is Bessy Mauler, Lamellar Armour, Wide-Brimmed Hat, Fluffy Scarf, Royal Gloves, Cloak of Winter, Champion's Belt, Winged Sabatons and two Lucky Strikes. The race and background are less important so long as they boost at least one of the three main stats; I chose catfolk (because I'm not into furries) and hunter (for RP purposes).
