Now i will tell you how to use your skills. Obviously with all the buff skills you buff yourself and others Now with attacking skills, this is which skills you should use and where.
For PVP: Obviously you start combo straight away and use these skills to attack: Shadow Shot first (knockdown at start=good chance to win) Critical Shot second (does allot of damage over a short period of time) Gravity Distortion third (adds good damage with chance to stun) Posion Arrow last (again, adds good damage and gives poison damage over time) After you used these 4 skills repeat all of them again.
Now for PVE: Gravity Distortion first (stuns for long time) Poison Arrow second (good damage and gives poison damage over time) Drilled Shot third (good damage) Prismatic Arrow fourth (good damage again) Use these 4 skills on monsters and if you combo vs a melee mob it will be very hard for him to reach you ^^ (You can also use the PVP combo in PVE, for example if you're killing a boss.)
Upgrade Skills: When you reach Transcender you will have 6 upgrade slots. These are the upgrades you should buy and max: Vitality Mastery (a must have for any char - adds alot of HP) Force Control (another very good upgrade - adds alot of magic=more dmg) Force Rolling (same as above but better ^^) Damage Absorb (good upgrade skill - adds alot of defense) Sixth Sense (a usefull skill in PVE - adds alot of def rate)
final skill you should pick either: Reflex (if you like PVE more than PVP)
And finally I will tell you which equipment to use: I cannot tell you exactly which items to use as these will change as you get higher lvl. If you like PVP, try to get as much crit rate % and crit dmg % as possible. And if you like PVE more, you can get more magic (although crit rate and dmg is good also) So this is the end of my Force Archer guide . If you do not like something about this guide or think that I am wrong please do not follow it^^. This is how my Force Archer is build and I think that he is strong in PVP . Force Archers are a fun class to play if you know how, and I hope this guide helped you.
[Update]
Novice > power shot + random arrow Apprentice > crit shot (keeper) + 2 random skills Regular > crit shot + explosion shot + random skill Expert > crit shot + explosion shot + poison arrow (keeper) A expert > crit shot + shadow shot(keeper) + poison arrow. Master (see A expert) A Master (See A expert) G Master Crit shot, shadow shot, poison arrow, Grav distortion, fire lance, terra lance.
Everything that isn't worth keeping should be at lvl 9. Other skills at lvl20 besides grav.
Buffs Mana condense > 20 HP buff > 20 Repulsive armour > 20 greater heal > 20 The regen buff thingy > 9
Optional Eagle eyes > 20
Combo all the way and follow your growth. After lvl60 focus your stats on your gear requirements and everything else in int.
Zitat von Saphirmhh i think the pvp and pve guide is not right with this combo u loose ^^
definitely agree w/ this post!
IMO (in my opinion) FAs have the best DPS moves therefore you must utilize this. If you want to do dungeons then i suggests you follow the Mithril stat growth but if you are PvP addict of Pk happy then i suggest you get OSM msa set [osm helm PDB 36% cdi] , 1 PDB orb CRI [lapis or higher level] 1 mithril orb MSA and have stats like this.
for skills i would go for PVP Crit shot, Shadow shot, Fire cannon, terra cannon, shooting star [all level 20] **use crit shot as soon as its ready.
PvE Since my FA has poor def i want mobs to be stun so i use the following skills Gravity distortion, Crit shot, Shadow skills, Shooting star, Terra cannon and repeat..gravity and shooting > lvl 9 only rest is lvl 20..
Well if you dont trust me just check my title> luminosity bringer
peace! don't get mad at me..im not bragging just want to be believable..
NOTE: This SS is from my char in other server.. pretty much the same in other servers i played.. havent tried though in this server..
