I'm new Archer, and pure str, but i don't know qhat is the best for prue str: cold, lighting or fire??
Thx!!!

I'm not such an experienced player but i'd say cold. Why? Because first there's weak guard of ice and you need defence as an archer. Second there's frost wall, you can range mobs from it and be safe. Third, with ice imbue you can frostbite/froze mobs, and the mod must be dead before it gets close enough to attack.
I already played on a fire archer (my first character with non-messed up skills) and a cold one, and imo cold archer powns fire archer.

Oh and lighting is completely useless for an archer in my opinion :/

And other question, what is the best: pure str or pure str int nuker?? Thx

for bow u should go pure STR and for skill tree it depends how ure play style is in pvp ice is at 60+ useless because you can get immune against it light is strong but not as strong as fire so i would go fire

and for what is better int or str depends aswell on you if you like to lvl insane fast , make amazing dmg but cant be able to tank as much take int if u want decent lvl speed , do good dmg and be able to tank much go str

you cant be a str int nuker lol

i have an int nuker and its cool to pown mobs in 1 hit, but i nver tryed str nuker:/ anywas it seems that str nukers are only ood at high lvls ( 60+)


but if you mean pure str archer then it's best than pure int archer but i think 2:1 str hybrid archer is better :/

referring to the above post, it's true, but cold>fire under lvl 60
So go cold if you don't plan to get lvl 60+

Srry, i'm wrong, i say pure str or pure int nuker, srry

I will give you a more annoying but realistic advice. If you want to do it properly on the bow you need light, fire and cold. At the moment there is no skill to stop someone that is hitting you for bowmen, so if you need a break and pot you need to Phantom walk from light. If you will be pure str you need the extra dmg from fire and at same time their magical protection because your magical balance will be awfull. And if you wanna have a chance against glaviers you have to be sure that you are making more damage on the same amount of time so you need the extra protection from cold.

So basicaly you will need all those masteries. If you dont want make all the required farming go fire and max it, but get cold at least up to 60 and light up to 54 to get a good amount of their potential at a realtivy low SP cost.

BTW that thing that everyone is ice inmune at 60+ its not true at least on Tibet. I found much more people that isnt inmune that the one that it is and when someone realized that Im inmune they say me "nice, =)".

ehm sorry I didnt tell it clear i think ^^ i meant to have fire as main and light and cold as sub but i was thinking everyone knows that so no need to say :X

What the hack is a nuker?

2nd last skill under each element

nuker is someone who uses the lvl 30 skills as their main attack the fire rain and lighting blabla the only way they do much dmg is by going int but still some ppl go str and still use them to pwn some "noobs"

Pure Str Ice means 0 mana if u use the new skill (in ksro).
As a pure str, u need mag def and phy buff from Fire.
If u dont want to be a slow ass, learn at least 50 Light

im not expert in bow but i think bow 80 ice 70 light 70 fire 80 and you are fine and for 90 cap 90 bow 60 ice 60 light 90 fire
