Archer PvE skills

[anichaos]

I was wondering what skills do you need for Archer PvE. (in either pvp or pve set)

What skills do you need for higher level dungeons?

I got this:


5 skill set up -
Arrow Strike
Multi-shot (or Deep Freeze)
Armor Piercer (or Deep Freeze)
Scatter
Incendiary Shot


But than... I was wondering...

Do you need Lunatic or Blood thirsty?

[krackenker]

Lunatic... well to clear mobs in between bosses, but you can just switch to the pvp tree for that, BT... it is good in some cases, such as spire or when you tank and mages could use help with the healing (normally after an extra strong atk).
They are in most cases not a necessity, although good at times.

Is that a tree for spire as well? Wondering what skill you will use to drop mob #3,4 and 5 using vulcan

Hi eliall depends of your team but usualy u need ds for 3-5 bossand at 64 get scatter for 9 stage,it's must have if u want pass it

[koevman]

At level 64 if you do not have double skills, you can get Freeze 2 , scatter 2 - this is enough to clear all dungeons on this level , other go to sniper 3 and lunatic 4 - sniper for WB and spire , lunatic for arena/bg/cw

and at 64 get scatter for 9 stage,it's must have if u want pass it

If you have 2 mages you can do 9 without scatter.

[Drag0nsFire]

I had the same confusion. In pvE, I have MS only at 2/5 and IS 2/2 and Bloodthirsty at 2/3. I leave clearing mobs on spire up to mage(s). IS at 2/2 gives good damage boost for killing 3-5 bosses on last bar. Sadly IS has lower crit rate than delphic. If your IS is not good enough to solo finish last bar then just slow down till your teammates delphic CD is finished. It also depends on team your run with. I use the same skill set for running MD NM bosses. Main reason I had Bloodthirsty is for clearing lvl 10 necropolis and helps in spire too.

If you're aiming for PvP endgame (which you will no doubt, it's a PvP game endgame more than a PvE game), don't roll archer .

Sure good luck then on 10 stage with low hp bcs of not scattering we run each day 13-14 stage so dont tell me ss isn't important in spire

@anichaos
when i was 64 i had those same skills. just i didnt have MS, i maxed out scatter and incendiary, and took bloodthirsty for spire. (DF doesnt work there so i swap it out)

luni is a nice skill to wipe out crowds, but in pve, mages usually drop rofs and meteors, so non issue there. im guessing you have a double skill tree right? so you can just swap skill set to pvp when facing mobs, then switch back to pve when going against bosses.

@eilistaee
if your mages pack thunderers, they can wipe 3,4 in spire, then you can use inc and other party members delphic to wipe out 5. scatter is a solid skill to take to lvl 9, inc plays a massive roll vs 10,11,12 also (cant beat 13 yet. those 150k aoes are just too much)

@anata
i had BT at 64, just didnt use MS.... AS,AP,Scat,IS,DF is what i took to face the bosses in moon.

From my exp i prefer ms more then ap. Sure ap make good dmg but take to much rage if you are support archer 2x ms make same dmg and give 20 rage so for me this is better option + i allways have rage for is df and ss
ABout 13 stage is rly hard but we have our tricks for this boss^^

[anichaos]

I see, so this:

Just switching 1 point from Multi-Shot to Incendiary Shot


So we basically leaves the AoE up to Mages as much as possible.

For the 5 skill set up
Arrow Strike
Multi-Shot
Deep Freeze
Scatter
Incendiary Shot

right?
