WITH LENS STONES THIS SKILL MAKES YOU FASTER THAN ANYONE IN CAST TIME. NEEDED FOR PVP.http://mmodata.org/archlord/db/?s=bu...afpfY4Ya44uaaaAT LEVEL 68 THIS IS MY CURRENT BUILD. AS I GATHER MORE LVLS AND SKILL POINTS THEY WILL GO TO DASH.ARROW HAIL IS NOT REQUIRED TO MAX. IT IS ONLY USED TO GATHER MOBS AND AT LVL 1 STILL HOTS FOR DECENT DAMAGE.SKILL EXPLANATIONMagic Arrow: allows you to stun your enemy for 3 seconds.Why? For archer, time is a very crucial element, 3 seconds is enough for an archer to deal 2000+ damage. 2000+ may seem little at high lvl but believe me, it does matter.Chain Action: Important debuff that reduces your enemy's attack speed, cast speed, and movement speed. This skill is useful both in PvP and boss hunting.Why? Similar to Heavy Hand, except that it has lower damage.Burst Shot: an AoE with 300% basic damage at lvl 5.Why? It is important for both PvE and PvP due to its high damage.Phoenix: strongest attack skill and AoE of archer, it also deals fire damage.Why? Similar to Burst Shot.Forces of Nature: weak damage but has slowing down effect.Why? It is important for boss hunting.Animal Soul: the most important buff of archer, because it gives both defense and physical resistance, and basic attack. Physical resistance is what you want from this skill, not the petty defense.Why? Being a low HP class, archer needs high defense. I cannot say that archer has higher defense than knight or something like that, but it is very important. Imagine like this, a monster deals 1000 damage to you without the buff, with the buff it will be 880 damage because Animal Soul gives you 12% physical resistance which is 120 damage. This skill is also important for GvG because you can use it on your party member.Power Crossbow/Power Bow: it gives extra basic attack.Why? Simply because you will hit harder with it.Snare Shot: an AoE that mass slows monsters for you.Why? Speed is another crucial element for archer. Snare Shot helps you slow down monsters therefore it prevents you from getting hit. It is also important for boss hunting.Rock Skin: it gives defense and skill block rate but skill block rate is really what you want from the skill.Why? It is similar to the explanation for Animal Soul. For instance, you get 28% skill block rate when this skill is maxed. Skill block is important for PvP, not so much with PvE though. For example when you fight someone, if he/she uses 10 skills on you, you will be able to block 3 of them (28% is approximately 1/3).Sharpshooter: this skill increases your cast-speed for a short instance.Why? As I said above, time and speed are important for archer. Cast-speed will determine how many skills you can use in a certain amount of time. This skill is very important in PvP.Soul Breath: it gives both elemental attack and resistance.Why? Elemental attack helps you hit harder while elemental resistance reduces the damage from elemental attack. Elemental resistance is also very important for PvP and the way it works is similar to physical resistance.Helpless: A 300% basic damage debuff skill when maxed that reduces your enemy's physical defense (not physical resistance) and resistances against all elements (except lightning, poison, and cold damage).Why? This is the opposite skill of Soul Breath. If Soul Breath reduce elemental damage on you, Helpless increase elemental damage on your opponent. Again, the damage calculation works like Animal Soul and Soul Breath (percentage).Heavy Hand: Another 300% basic damage debuff skill when maxed that reduces your enemy attack speed and cast-speed. The cast-speed reduction is what you want from this skill.Why? At lvl 5, this skill increases your opponent's cool-down time by 30 seconds (according to the skill description but I think they mean 30%. Let's say a person can use 10 skills in 10 seconds. If you use Heavy Hand on him/her, he/she will only be able to use 7 skills in 10 sec. Therefore, it is very important for PvP.Dash: It increases your movement speed.Why? In episode 1, it was important in both PvP and PvE. In episode 2, I think it is only important for PvE since archer no longer needs to run in PvP. For PvE, it prevents you from getting attacked by monsters when grinding.Arrow Hail: This skill is a very unique AoE for archer because it has short range but covers a big area.Why? This skill is useful for collecting monsters and for pvp if you can max it.EQUIPMENTSOVERVIEWIn Archlord, equipment is just as important as skill distribution (or build). Unlike other MMO games, gear in Archlord is not all about physical defense. Many people when they first play this game think that if they have high physical defense, monsters will hit them less. It is true from lvl 1-30, but after that you start seeing that the armor isn't working that well anymore. In fact, lvl 15 armor for archer and lvl 76 one only has 18 physical defense differences while monsters at lvl 76 can probably hit 400+ more damage than the lvl 15 ones. Then how can you survive at lvl 76? There are 5 concepts that you need to know when talking about gears in Archlord: physical resistance, skill block rate, block rate, HP, and elemental resistance. What will be shown below are the most popular and efficient customizations for equipments for archer. By following the information below, you should be able to use your gears for at least the next 16 levels. CONCEPTS TO REMEMBERPhysical Resistance: usually, you get physical resistance in the form of percentage. The percentage of physical resistance shows on your equipment is the percentage of damage taken away from physical attacks from monsters or other players.Skill Block: it is similar to the idea about physical resistance but it deals with skills, the higher skill block rate you have, the higher chance you have to block skills. In PvP, skill block rate is even more important than physical resistance. (It's always better not to get hit at all)HP: life is a very important factor PvE and PvP. Unfortunately, I don't know how to explain it better, sorry.Block Rate: this one is similar to skill block but it only protects you from normal attack, not skills, so it is very important for PvE but not PvP.Elemental Resistance: this is similar to physical resistance except that it only protects you from elemental attacks.ARMORStats:3-4 slots+% HP (must have, the higher the better, 4-5% is the standard)+% MP (don't need, don't care)+ Physical Defense (optional, the higher the better)+% Skill Block (must have, 3% is the standard, prefer 4-6%)Stones: 3 slots- Physical Resistance Stone, Life Stone (+ HP), Stamina Stone (+ %HP)4 slots- Physical Resistance Stone, Life Stone (+ HP), Stamina Stone (+ %HP), Defense Stone [for PvE]- Physical Resistance Stone, Life Stone (+ HP), Stamina Stone (+ %HP), Elemental Stone [for PvP]GREAVEStats:2-3 slots+HP (optional, the higher the better)+MP (don't need, don't care)+ Physical Defense (optional, the higher the better)+% Physical Resistance (must have, the 3% is the standard, but I prefer 4-6%)Stones:2 slots - Physical Resistance Stone, Skill Block Stone3 slots - Physical Resistance Stone, Skill Block Stone, Elemental Stone [for PvP]GLOVESStats: 2 slotsGreen option doesn't matterStones:- No stones [PvE]- Elemental stones [PvP]*BOOTSStats:2 slots+3-5% Block (must have, for PvE)+2-3% Movement Speed (speed on boots is not very important but you will want to use one that has at least 2%)Stones:Same as GlovesHELMETStats:1 slot+6-8 All Stats (must have)+0-4% All Elemental Resistance (optional, it is very hard to find a helmet that has both ALL STATS and ALL ELE RES)Stones:Same as GlovesNECKLACEAny kind of necklace should work for PvE, the type of the necklace is usually dependent on PvP. For example, if you PvP against an archer, you would want to use a Fire Necklace due to their strongest attack, Phoenix.Stats:1 slot+6-8 All Stats (must have)+2-6% All Elemental Resistance (optional, recommended to have at least 2%)Stones:Any kind of wing should work.RINGTranscendence Ring Stats:1-2 slots+5-8 all statsStones:HP recovery stone
