template advice needed

[velg]

Makign an archer with the main goal of spawns and pvp..original template was gonna be 120 arch/bush/chiv/tact/resist/60 magery for gate scrolls and rest in focus or med...but have been wondering if my char would be more viable with no resist and then gm anat/heal and keep chiv in 90 range..any advice is welcome..thanks

My ninja/archer sure is a lot of fun, and a major pain for the enemy...

would you mind sharing your template?

I think having a killer archer for spawns and pvp is asking too much.  It's easier to concentrate on one or the other.

I run a 120 arch/tact/chiv/resist/focus/med, primarily for pvm/spawns.  I've gotten flak for running chiv so high, but I enjoy it.  Putting 240 into focus and med is a bit rough, but it works wonders.  I would recommend not dropping resist.  I used to run 120 bush but sank it because the benefits are minimal for the cost; it's better off for meleers.

How does 120 ninja/arch/tact/ with 100 hide/resist and 80 stealth/med sound?

Thanks for the input Jef..will have to look into ninja skill more not real familar with it

[Hettar]

My Ninja/Archer is

120 Ninja
120 Archery
100 Tactics
100 Anatomy
100 Healing
100 Hiding
80 Stealth

Poison darts and stars are your friend, and potions are your partner...

Does good PvM and PvP

PvP/PvM Archer Template:

120 Archery
100 Tactics
100 Anat
100 heal
120 Bushido
120 med
60 Chiv

Alternatively:
120 Archery
100 Tactics
100 anat
100 heal
120 Bushido
120 resist
60 chiv

If you are in GIL, I'd go more for the med one. You will see some PvP, but not enough to warrant the use of resist. With that template you should do very well.

Speedy's is good. I run a pvp/pvm archer similar to that..mine is:

pvp: Good Composite Bow
Archery 120
Bushido 120
Anatomy 100
Tactics 100
Healing 100
Resist 100
Med 80

pvm: Good Magical Shortbow (nice specials for spawns)
Archery 120
Bushido 120
Anatomy 100
Tactics 100
Healing 100
Chiv 100
Med 80

Takes only 2 soulstones to run this character. Works really well both ways.

nice thank you both..was hoping to find a way to make the bush and chiv work together

[Speedy Claxton]

Aeryn's look pretty good too. Although I personally wouldn't run 100 chiv.

[Mystikal]

120 archery
120 bushido
90 healing
90 tacs
110 anatomy
90 medi
100 chivalry

I don't use resist, might need it when you fight more than one, I seem to do ok though.

I run with a balanced bow and good armor though, and pots, bandaids and confidence keeps you alive easy. trapped crates keeps you moving.

solid template for pvm and pvp.

I run a similar template to mystical with one small variation

I have lower Med and Chiv and have added some ninjitsu for poisoned stars

Find it a very stable template with many variations of wep's available depending on the situation.

[Mystikal]

How much ninjitsu you'd need for that?
I thought about doing that

Aeryn's look pretty good too. Although I personally wouldn't run 100 chiv.

Yeah, I agree there except that I REALLY like holy light at spawns...

That 100 chiv is only for pvm mode, I run resist for pvp mode. I make up the lack of chiv with pots and a balanced bow.

Problem with ninjitsu for stars is that you need a lot of skill points. Your chance to hit with stars is your ninja skill versus their fighting skill (wrestling on mages or ana/eval). So really, unless you got 100-120 ninja your not gonna hit much with stars.
