Building Archer elf status in Perfect World

Hi MMORPG gamers! Today I shall continue my entry on Perfect World. I shall be posting a guide for building archer elf status. Here is an overview of a character status:

Strength
- Increases physical attack strength and physical defense

Dexterity (agility)
- Increases range attack power and hit rate, dodge rate, physical critical rate, magical critical rate.

Constitution
- Increases your health and health regeneration rate, and increases a little physical and magical defense. Health regeneration will be decreased to 25% during combat mode, health regeneration will be increased during sitting mode.

Intelligence
- Increases mana and mana regeneration rate, and magic attacks. Mana regeneration will be decreased to 25% during combat mode, mana regeneration will be increased during sitting mode.

Basically there are 3 type of build for archer – Damage type, Tanking type and Hybrid type.

Damage Type

Basically damage type of archer goes with adding stats point in dexterity and a bit of strength which just to fulfill the requirement for wearing light armor item.

Dex archer deals with extremely high damage when excelling at backstabbing (pking player who are leveling without warning). But due to their lack of health, they are taken down easily which makes them not so useful during guild fight.

PROS: High damage, high dodge rate, high hit rate.
CONS: Low health.

Tank Type

Tanking type of archer goes with adding stats point pump your strength and dexterity according to the minimum requirement for light armor, rest of points into constitution.

Tanking type of archer works well against warrior which archer usually is weak against. Though with a lack of damage, the main skill used by archer when killing wu xia are the thunder type skill since they are gold element attack (hence denying wu xia advantage of high physical armor). Those thunder type skill uses fixed damage hence reducing the penalty of low damage.

PROS: High health and higher defense compared to damage type of archer.
CONS: low damage, low dodge, and low hit rate because of lack stats in dexterity.

Hybrid Type

Hybrid type consists of adding stats point in strength, constitution and dexterity. Add strength points according to the requirement for light armor, for dexterity is according to the requirement for bow/crossbow weapon and the rest of the stats points goes to constitution.

By having a slightly higher constitution, it solves the problem of survivability issue in Guild Fight. It also makes it easier to survive when dealing with high level mobs. Damage as compared to a dexterity archer isn't that much of a difference.

PROS: rather high damage, rather high dodge, rather high hit rate, average hp pool, higher defense compared to dexterity archer

Out of the 3 builds of the archer, I would strongly recommend the hybrid build. Reason is because damage and health is balanced compared to damage type archer. During PvP, having a pure damage build isn't really that wise as if other players have higher constitution, you will be taken down easily. Most archer skill does fix damage + weapon damage and not percentage of weapon damage, it can be disadvantage for having a pure damage build. And for the 3rd factor, magic attacks has 100% hit rate and archer need to have a high health status.

These are the builds that I have shared with you all. Next blog shall be mentioning about archer skills as I need to research on them. See you!
