currently runing the first one but I'm thinking about swapping into witchcraft and wizardry, I'm mostly solo pve, sometimes duo with my mate when he is up, not much into pvp, what armor set and stats should I get on both builds ?

for warfare archery (im playing it since 1st day) u go for might(+dex in t4) with weapon power/precision in secondary stats armors either plate/leather 2p+2p or 4p

#

For witchcraft + wizardy u go full into int + spell power in plates/plates+cloth (best example from twitch is Etup i think)

Honestly archer/warfare does what witch/wiz does with less effort and restrictions. It has lower upfront aoe burst dps but it has shorter cds and more reliable sustain. Also archer is probs best pvp atm, can kite anything without resistance including kiting wiz

yeah + archery works nice with witchcraft passvies due to having 2 additional dots from which dragons arrow is the strongest dot in game rn

#

so it looks like arch/war > witch/wiz

#

and this is how it looks with the amount of SP I have atm

#

also Im very low budget atm and I'd like to swap from plate to leather - should I just look for might main stat + wisdom/int and get whatever secondary stat ?

#

running this acc, got rank4 ranger so maybe there's something better to wear, no trinket atm

@willow geyser what do u think

Didnt play wiz+witch so idk

I mean about gearing

You could probably go something like Vit + Prec on plate or leather and u can try both builds easily, then for t4 you'll know which one you like and you could buy t4 gear tailored to whichever build U prefer

its actually fairly difficult to choose between witch+wiz and archery+warfare both are fun.. wiz prolly better for strictly aoe and archery warfare better for sustain and smaller pulls i think? at least up to level 30

Wiz has downtime aoe grinding archer/war jus chain pulls 0 downtime

#

I find arch war much more enjoyable overall

#

@tranquil goblet is the archer/warfare build the same as the OPs build?

tranquil goblet
#

No not really

#

I’ll post when I get home in about 30 mins

#

He’s missing very important skills and passives

ok thank you i feel like maybe i had been doin it wrong since it felt like 3/4 of the power of wiz and i'm not a huge fan of pullin 5-6 mobs then chillin for 30 seconds

#

I’ll toss my build in here in a bit and explain rotation and gear

Do people run War/Arch as melee or does it just greatly reduce the strengths of the build having a bow. Running War/Shadow right now but I like the dots/haste/aoe of arch and might swap.

tranquil goblet
#

bow/plate might build

#

careful aim and clear focus will be next 2 passives

#

then rain of arrows and dragon arrow

#

cards

#

feasting strike to heal, precision shot with max aether, quick fire with max aether earth quick with max aether

#

wind arrow builds your aether

#

guillotine is finisher with max aether

Bow, third is whatever archetype is lowest level so you always keep all archetypes leveled up. Third is your choice later. For me probably shadow

Very good for killing mobs 1x1 or 2x2 and very good sustain for sure

#

Chain pulling mobs is what it excels at
