Archer Skills for Cata's PvE?

[SirChuck]

I am currently at level 45 and would like your opinions on skills build for Catas. Should I level multi or scatter shot to level 1? I am currently stuck on the level 60 Boss. Thanks

Okay this is the 2nd attempt that I wanted to show you, with no medallion, mdef astral, and no wings; also my current stats and academy build.

Don't forgot to watch in 720P

Enjoy:

Any other questions, ask away.

If your still paying attention to this I would say at lvl 50 u need to put in determination as it will boost ur base critical damage. Also when ur doing these bosses from lvl 50 and up you need to pot with Intel as well as power being the 50 and up bosses use pattk and mattk.

Being up front is a must, It helps you survive longer and also because faye likes atking the back row more than the front.

Hello, ArcTheLad here. Level 61 archer with level 60 troops.

I was told you needed some help. I am not really sure how I can help but one of the things I go for in order to fight against faye easily, is upgrade your troops in academy. I have all my academy troop upgrades at lvl 55 except hero/troop patk at level 60. I will post up the video i recorded of my completeing floor 100 in catacombs.

NOTE: In my opinion, I dont think your mdef matters that much against faye (6-7k mdef minimum); as an archer, it is all about your troops surviving long enough for you to deal enough dmg (patk wise). Bloodthirsty is good to have, but the most important one to have is deep freeze, I have my deep freeze at level 3 and use multi and arrow strike for dmg.

Heres my video:

If you have any other questions, ask away. I will post another video later In this post to show my current stats and build etcetc.

Really appreciate you taking the time to share and help out. I can give being in front a try, but I think I just needed to get stronger. Here is my current skills.

It is mostly MDEF attacks but he also physically attacks. Never good to put all you defense eggs in one basket.

Lol, well I ended up removing all Pdef gems and astral. I added crit %. I got boss down too 1.5 bars compared to 3 last time. I'm clearly not strong enough to beat it right now whatever i do. : )

Does cata's boss attack with just magic or does it impact your physical defense too. I'm wondering if I should remove Pdef astral and gems and use all Mdef or not. Thanks.

I'll ask his permission to give his information or ask him to contact you himself, Chuck.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I see some people in these forums are sticking with multi. I get pretty good regen from Blood thristy so I don't want to have to pump heals into catas all the time.

I would be interested to know what his level is and skill build. I am only level 46. I am currently stuck at Boss 80. I have 1 skill point to add and don't know if I should now use it to upgrade multi shot to level 2 or if scatter shot would be more important to debuff. I got dominated today. Boss still had 3 bars of hp.

that's nice going for a lvl 46 i couldn;t get to that boss till i was lvl 47 .. will show my build i am lvl 49 now and bring the last bar to half ..

at first i didnt take the deep freeze till i read a post on forums .. and then rebuild the skill set into what u r seeing above.. i find this suitable for most of the time..
** most of time yields low hp.. agaisnt knights most useless skill as well as good mages.. it just takes away ur rage without giving much in return .. the same goes with the boss.. 1.3-1.6k hp per shot is not worth it. or atleast i think so.. correct me if i am wrong...

I am looking for ppl's feed back so that even i can progress much further than where i am now ..
At boss i replace pdef astral with determination astral which enhances the damage i do ..

I am a non cashier ..

My GM is an archer and he can now do floor 100 without pots by using deep freeze and bloodthirsty strike.

of course, if you are able to gain enough rage use ms, if you can't, then don't.

If I decided to stick with bloodthristy do you think level 1 multi or scatter shot would be more beneficial? thanks
