are you planning to use bow to be mostly far away? or will try to use an go in - go out strategy? 👀

cuz the only issue you will find is that some skills need to be in melee to be used, just that.

uuummm, mostly far away, and just go in with some skills

#

would be possible?

lean linden
#

its possible, just that most of your damage will come from archery

for warfare:
shield break becomes ranged with the bow,
feasting skill is just good in general for selfheal
and spiked chain is changed and some cc (you could use fissure instead too)

you can add stuff like bull rush, berserk or even fierce leap in it.

for shadow is mostly for the utility it gives (the passives can change tho)

cc from shadow bind
interrupt from shadow kick
crippling dagger is anoter ranged attack and can debuff someone with the right card
sinister plot for aether regen plus some crit change if you have the card.

for archery is pretty much your taste.
quick fire is something i like to have since it counts as an basic attack, so bloodseeker + shild break additional damage card goes really with it.

#

if you wanted to go on a in and out strategy, you can get the gap closer from the other archetypes, and get others damage skill that needs to be in melee, such as death blossom from shadow

Ty so so much, 😊 POGGIES

#

np! in the end you can change anything you feel like, so your playstyle feels confortable xD

#

and last question, what about stats

lean linden
#

pretty much might.

my playstyle feels way more confotable when i have some amount of haste, around 50 and using cloth, i dislike having more than 1.25 global cd tho...

but stats should be around might, weapon power, presicion/impact, haste. and as usual vit when you cap the weapon power.

#

dex will always be a secondary stat in this game, lower def compared to vit, and there's not much haste related skill to be worth to fully invest on it, if you do your damage will be lacking.

#

In other point i think with 100 haste base, using the pasive from shadow + archery and some cards, you get an big boost on haste so you can reach the soft cap of it tho... i think i reached around 300ish~ of it, was fun tho xD

what armor would you run with this? I want to say leather, but currently i feel like running anything that is archery+warfare without plate is kinda troll? at least what from what ive heard from others

Edit- im stupid and forgot to put in "without plate"

lean linden
#

ok now that you point out about the plate. for t2 and lower we can argue that's the case, now from t3 things change up, as example would be leather + precision, you would have a ton of cr due to that, cloths is good due the reduction of AS and Global CD.

In my playstyle, i preffer having a faster skill rotation due cloth + haste than being more bulky (cloth gives spell defense, so is not like it wont give you some sort of defense)

yeah id love to go a critty archer style but the leather set just seems weak
