i want to ask, How to make Archer so Very Critical when PVP

[Senjuu]

most of the archers i fought uses Multi-Shot, Lunatic Fire and Deep Freeze

[DForest]

multi shot - gives 100% chance critical but obsolete late game(group arena, duels) as the race is damage to whole group not to 1 or 2 enemies(unless fighting against no mage team, even then it may not have enough power against double or more knights so use against same class, maybe), great for finishing after you used all your rage for aoe and still standing with some rage left

lunatic fire - AoE, able to unleash this with pvp set +30 rage for 2-3 turns of arrow strikes, it says chance to crit +10 i'm not sure if it's better than +10% but htat's what it says

deep freeze - hits one target in the back row or farthest behind , semi-nuking skill, hits a reduce casting speed by 100% debuff that ill stay 2 turns, doesn't give more chance to crit

arrow strike - important for gaining rage, +5 rage for normal strike +10 rage for critical strike when using insignia set or random gear, increased chance to crit by 20%

as for being critical, try to raise your Critical up to 2000 or more, i have 1850 and I crit frequently in pve, not much in pvp against my range level and br using any skill except multi shot

try to up your defence and hp so you survive long enough to use damaging skills

maybe talents have something for improving crit rate if you wait for it you'll know

Deep Freeze @lvl1 160% dmg rear target slows down some skills in PVP
Armour piercer @lvl1 140% dmg rear target reduses defense by 100
Single shot Basic skill
Lunatic or multi shot If u have high crit go for lunatic or use multi shot
blood thirsty strike very effective with high defense
Delhip sniper and Incendentary shot(i prefer Delhip) only at higher lvls( replace deep freeze)

Deep freeze doesn't slow in PVP.. you guys give great advice.

It does work in PvP, just not live PvP, So the only place's it actually works are Solo Arena and plundering. It is actually very useful in the solo arena

I tend to go with Arrow Strike, Armor Piercer, Lunatic, Bloodthirsty and Delphic Sniper. I may swap out Blood for Incendary for GB fights.

Are there two questions here? If you just want to crit more than you need to up your crit stat

Refine gear until every piece has crit on it.
Run 8 crit gems
Upgrade sniper astral.
You should be running a determination astral as well. This doesn't effect crit rate, but it does effect crit damage


Some skills have a "passive" that ups their crit rate. Delphic sniper add 20% Multi-shot is 100%..ect.

Armor piercer effs me up more then any other archer skill in pvp. Delphic is also pretty much mandatory. It does crazy damage.

I really liked AP for a while, but now I much prefer BT in the 5th slot. Really wish I could move one of those AP skillpoints to max out DDS on pvp tree.

[Caballero1321]

As a mage, I might say a skills of an archer who kept pawning me in BG (requires Rage Rune).
He started with LF, then Rage Rune, then DDS (usually stunned me), MS, AS/BT and I was usually dead.
That archer had similar BR to mine.
I sometimes won, when he was unlucky with crits and DDS stun.

better combo for him is rage rune then aoe and if he have killed both trops his delphic is ready. thats my combo for bg.

Aye. I'm having hard times with archers using this tactics as well. When they can clear my troops with 1 LF (and in 99% of the time they do) and follow it with DS, I lose up to 80% of HP (or even get killed with that combo, if an archer is 10-15k higher).

Scatter Shot best recommended by many.

This is a definitely a better combo. You can Rage LF DS then if you crit, which DS almost always does you can follow that with AP or DF. At this point you are ready to sylph, which is game over for most opponents.
