Archer

 

LEFT HAND - This is the hand to carry your ranged weapon

 

Spells That Help (courtesy of Carabele, Sylvan at Heart)

  • Attack Strength -wise, 211, 215, 307, 425, 1007, 1130 all definitely add to ranged AS.  Khaladon confirmed that Paladin spell Dauntless works for ranged AS.  I believe Paladin Zealot does as well, but not positive on that one.

  • Decreasing fire rt are 506, 509, 606, and 1035.

  • Increasing aiming accuracy are 404 and 613.

  • Decreasing aiming accuracy are 412, 607, and 1001, as per GS4-ILDRAN (10/10/06).

 

Stats - What Piece Affects What (courtesy of Carabele, Sylvan at Heart)

  • Dexterity Bonus affects Ranged AS
  • Strength Bonus affectsFire RT (every 10 bonus decreases fire rt by 1 second)
  • Discipline ? (whether stat or bonus is unknown but my bet would be Bonus) affects Aiming Accuracy
  • Agility plays directly into DS. This isn't specific for ranged only, but rather generally.
  • Both Agility and Intuition play into Evade success, which is an important part of the defensive equation for archers as well.
  • Perception/2 roughly for DS. Yes, perception is very important for an archer as it effects the three main areas - AS,DS, and aiming, also aids AS at the rate of +1AS per 4 ranks over 40 (so your first +1AS happens at 44 ranks), maxed at 2x Ranks/Level (so 22nd level is when you start seeing it if you 2x the skill).
  • Ambush increases accuracy of hiding aimed shots, also adds AS at the rate of +1AS per 4 ranks over 40 (so your first +1AS happens at 44 ranks), maxed at 2x Ranks/Level (so 22nd level is when you start seeing it if you 2x the skill).
  • Ambush and Perception add, so if you can 2x them both, you'll get +2AS every 4 ranks over 40.
  • Dodge is almost a must for archers, since you don't get any Parry DS, you must get Evade DS through your Ranged training and Dodge training to avoid getting hit

 

Bow Enchant

  • Remember that higher enchant will also increase your ranged defense since the enchant of the bow (not of the bow/arrow combo, but just of the bow) is added directly into ranged defense.
