My Ranger's Str is higher than Dex, because I want more damage every time I hit mobs. But Dex is good for doged and speed too, not as much as my Str. Some players go for full Dex so they can doged and their skill can be use much faster. Although my Str is higher, my sp run out faster which some balance need to be consider improving the stats.

Do you want to crit more or just have your main focus be on damage? a lot of archers do SPR for grinding, while your weapon will pick of the slack.

i want to do as much damage as i can so i may need SPR to use skills often :(

Crit does more damage than pure strength 100% of the time. Pure strength has a MUCH easier time leveling, though.

Around level 40 you will have something like ~88 crit rate and 78 dex if you go pure dex.

Seeing as you can get near soft cap for crit rate from just gems and half decent gear, I'm going to say you might want to double check your facts here.

Most archers favor strength (the ones that aren't doing the silly SPR build that will start sucking at end game) since you can reach the soft cap with a ratio of 4:2 STR/DEX.

So 4:2 STR/DEX Build is the best build among all archer builds?i mean damage/levelling/boss fights wise?

[ウィッチ（？）]

DEX 3 : STR 1. But can't say which is right since it depends on class tree you take. No one have sure way to put stat points in.
For now archer is better spend in DEX than putting points in STR. Which is what majority is thinking at this moment..

For A>R3>Fletcher3 I've heard 2:1 or 3:2 STR:DEX. You'll want full DEX at the start, maybe up to 50. Once you hit level 200 the enemies have a lot more defenses and you'll need to more STR.

[Graveheart]

I want to make Archer/archer/archer/ranger/ranger/ranger type what stats for this class?

[Jet Uppercut]

Don't mix STR and DEX. Pick one or the other. 4:1 chosen stat:CON until 50 CON (around level 150), then all stat.
DEX is more for auto attack builds, because Kneeling Shot and Running Shot stack.
STR is really good for pretty much everything else, but you can go DEX no problem it's just early levels can be a little more difficult as you're relying purely on weapon damage to get by.

Ypu guys the crit formula is ((Critrate-enemycritresist)*42)/charleve a lv 200 archer with 264 dex (from 199 points in it) has 301 base crit rate, which results in around a 55% crit rate on a lv 200 archer. Your not going to hit the crit rate softcap that easly with just gear. In the long run the dex/con build is the best in the end for almost all physical attacking characters. You use dex to get crit rate, then gear (enchanted headgear mostly) to stack crit attack, you can get 180 or so crit attack from headgear with all 3 pieces. Thats bascally like 180 free str. Crit rate on headgear is only like 10 at the high end. SO its more efficent points wise to invest in dex than str.

If your worried about damage, at low level;s get +phys attack or +elemental attack propery headgear to make up for the lower str. Elemental attack property is kinda better due to the cafrisun set that makes it proc twice. Once in initial hit, then a 2nd time on the hit from the cafrisun set bonus, same thing happens if u stack Sacrament, enchant fire etc. A Chaplain for example can end up with 5 auto attacks per swing self buffed, with the last one being a massive hit from aspergillum. Aspersion that Aspergillum's damage is based on is also based on spirit.

Do skills with built in Crit Chances like Critical Shot or Backstab add the equivalent to their % in Critical Rate or are they independent of that formula?

[Graveheart]

Now i'm confused lol i was going for ArcherX3 then Ranger X3 haven't decided on the 7th class yet so i'm thinking STR/DEX 4:2?or STR/DEX 4:1?

I've honestly heard it both ways and more often than not I hear you need a mix where STR>DEX for swordsman/archer. This is long term when you take into account increased magic damage, crit resistance, and defenses of enemies. One of these people made 3 characters up to level 280 and respeced stats multiple times and is stickied on the main forums.

Pohx made a video saying full DEX is the way to go. The problem is I don't think he made it to level 200+ where the difficulty jumps and the gameplay changes from solo to grinding and partying. I have heard that DEX is the stronger stat early because of its defensive properties.
