What race/profession makes the best archers?

[Cademus]

So, in theory. At cap, who would ultimately make the best archers (in terms of taking out a mob the fastest, getting silvers, etc. etc.) ? Giantman/rogue or ranger? Halfling Paladin?

[mgoddess]

Not halfling/gnome/small-person anything, for one... mostly because they're STR bonus blows crap for archery.

I'd think a human or half-krol rogue, based entirely on str/dex stats. A dwarf might be good, if you don't mind the -10 AGI-suck (aka, -10 DS, as well as AGI is a prime stat for rogues). A giant ranger might also be good, if you don't mind the -5's to prime stats (DEX & INT) & AGI.

[Drew]

Half krolvin rogue. Rangers are better archers but rogues can pick their own boxes.

[Cademus]

Half krolvin rogue. Rangers are better archers but rogues can pick their own boxes.

It may actually even out? Rogues can pick their own boxes, but noone can really match a ranger's skinning ability?

Besides it might be difficult to be a good picker and be a good archer at the same time. This is at cap and not beyond cap. (beyond cap I tend to agree with you.)

[AestheticDeath]

You can be a fully capable picker and archer as a rogue. Even before cap.

And how exactly are rangers better than rogues at archery?

[Drew]

You can be a fully capable picker and archer as a rogue. Even before cap.

And how exactly are rangers better than rogues at archery?

Amongst their other advantages (a spell that helps with aiming and having the same AS and aiming capabilities as a rogue to mention a few) they fire a second faster than the rogue.

[AestheticDeath]

Well, thats not really true.

Rangers have 606 true, but rogues get cman surge, which can potentially take off 2 seconds depending on your normal STR bonus.

Rogues have access to 425, which is +25-50 AS, while rangers only have like 608 for +30 AS. Which needs to be recast often. Admittedly this is more commonly a post cap skill for rogues.

As far as aiming, rogues can triple perception for better aiming in the open, and they have both 402 and 404 which help with aiming from what I have been told. Perception is also cheaper to train in as a rogue.

Rogues also have a cheaper TP cost for most any ranged skill set. I dont think rangers have a cheaper costs on anything beyond spells.

I think as far as ranged skills go, armor and ranged weapons are the same, every other physical/combat related skill is cheaper as a rogue, while all the magic skills are cheaper as a ranger.

Rogues get to double in dodging skill easier than a ranger can single in it. 6/3 for a rogue to double, vs a rangers 7/5 to single.

Combat maneuvers is cheaper, and provides better cman skills.

Ambush is cheaper etc etc..

Personally I prefer rogues, and am under the opinion they are better.

And as for race, I think I would prefer Half-krolvin or giantman. Higher STR for lower RT, and a lot of HP for taking hits if you have to.

[Bobmuhthol]

Half elf rogues own.

[AestheticDeath]

They fire slower than giant/half-krolvin and have less HP, smaller encumberance tolerance. Giants have faster SP regen. The only thing they really have over those two races is a few points in AS for ranged weapons.

Archery and Locksmithing for a Rogue make the easiest to work with Point wise so your so very off.


And I'd say a Wizard Archer, yay for haste.

[Anebriated]

My personal preference(i swear its unbiased, ok maybe not) is for elven rangers. Both classes can potentially shoot with the same rt, its a matter of what type of bow you use. Rangers will be better for skinning/foraging(and can easily make imbeds for a wizard to put haste in) but rogues can pick their own boxes(they can load up on em too since enc doesnt affect archery rt). Its personal preference. Post cap Id say a rogue is better because they will have an easier time with armor training and can easily pick up FA and survival to skin while a ranger wouldnt have the same redux and be unable to pick their own boxes.

[Sypher]

Rangers can pick/open boxes post cap doubling is not as effective as tripling but it's still doable.

But some points...

-Rangers have higher TD (add up the spells), they got better DS's once you throw in the giveme spells from the 400 list.

-Rangers ARE better archers:

The extra perception doesn't do squat once you hit the ceiling on aiming.

Rangers have mobility,camo. Don't know if these are both imbeddable or not?

phoen's strength is better then surge. A.) you can't keep surge up continuously alongside shadow mastery and all your other cmans. B.) Enc. is a nonstarter because it doesn't affect archery.

613 helps considerably for aiming.

617 is helpful for staying hidden (again imbeddable?)

650 Assume aspect really tips this whole thing in favor of rangers.

Assume Aspect allows a ranger, who has 50 Ranger spell ranks, to channel the spirits of nature in order to assume beneficial characteristics of certain wild beasts. After PREParing the spell, the ranger may choose one of the following aspects to ASSUME:

Aspect Benefit
Wolf
Dexterity & Intuition stats
Jackal
Ambush skill
Lion
Strength and Influence stats
Panther
Stalking & Hiding skill
Owl
Wisdom & Aura stats
Hawk
Perception skill
Rat
Agility & Discipline stats
Porcupine
Logic stat; Wall of Thorns (640) spell effect
Bear
Constitution stat; Health Points (HP)
Serpent
Evasion
Burgee
Block
Mantis
Parry
Yierka
Survival skill; SENSE, FORAGE & herb/healing potion RT reduction
Spider
Climbing skill; Web (118) spell effect

Aspect Benefits
Stats: When assuming an aspect with a stat benefit, the ranger receives a +20 increase to the applicable stat. Training in Spiritual Lore, Blessings provides an additional benefit of an additional +1 at 2 ranks to a maximum of an additional +12 at 90 ranks. The stat bonus increase is half that of the stat increase with a base stat bonus increase of +10 and an additional stat bonus increase of +6 with lore training. Please note that the total increase to a character's stat bonus from all enhancive effects (including 650) caps at +20.

Skills: Aspects with skill benefits increase the appropriate skill by +20 ranks. Training in Spiritual Lore, Summoning increases this bonus by an additional +1 at 2 ranks to a maximum of an additional +12 at 90 ranks.

Wall of Thorns (640) modifier: One of the benefits of assuming the Aspect of the Porcupine is an increase in potency of the block rate and poison effect of the Wall of Thorns (640) spell. Training in Spiritual Lore, Summoning further increases this effect.

Health Point (HP) modifier: Not only does assuming the Aspect of the Bear provide an increase to the Constitution stat, it also provides an increase to the ranger's Health Points (HP) by +25. Training in Spiritual Lore, Summoning provides an additional +1 HP at 1 rank with a maximum of an additional +13 HP at 91 ranks.

Evasion/Block/Parry modifiers: This benefit provides a +10% chance to evade, block, or parry against like-level foes during combat. Training in Spiritual Lore, Blessings increases this chance by an additional 1% at 2 ranks with a maximum of an additional +12% at 90 ranks.

SENSE, FORAGE & herb/healing potion consumption: A ranger will have a 25% RT reduction when consuming any healing herb or potion, sensing room conditions, or attempting to forage while under the effects of the Aspect of the Yierka. Training in Spiritual Lore, Blessings increases this benefit by an additional 3% RT reduction at 1 rank with a maximum of an additional 39% RT reduction at 91 ranks.

Web (118) modifier: While the Aspect of the Spider is active, casts of the Web (118) spell are made more potent. When attempting to web an individual, the Target Defense (TD) of the target is reduced by 50, as opposed to the standard 25. When casting an area web, its duration and snare charges are both doubled. These benefits are not modified by lore training.

Animal Companion Bonus
If the ranger assumes an aspect that is of the same category as his Animal Companion, he will receive an additional bonus while the effects of the aspect are active. This benefit pertains to Animal Companions that are of the same category (canine, feline, avian, and rodent), but not necessarily to the same species as the Wolf, Jackal, Lion, Panther, Owl, Hawk, Rat, and Porcupine aspects.

[Danical]

Bard. Hands Down.

Unless you have a slave hasting wizard or an item with haste.

1 RT eye aimed shots? Yes please.

HK might bit a bit of a stretch for a bard though given their INF bonus which plays a part in renewal cycles. You might have better luck as a human or giant.

You might have defensive problems until past cap, however.

[Anebriated]

lol @ defensive problems. Did you ever play an archer before the archery changes?

[Danical]

God, no. However, archery before the change has absolutely nothing to do with what we are discussing currently. So, what's your point? That it's far better than it was before? Super. How about now?

If we're talking cap.

Bards generally only 1x dodge (cheaper for a ranger) and get less DS from their professional spell circle than a similarly trained Ranger. It's also far easier for a ranger to get 401/406/414 than a bard to get 103 (ok, super easy)/120(super not easy).

Expect to be put into massive RT coupled with prone status in OTF and probably the same via charge in the temple.

I had DS problems and I had 1.5x dodge with 74 MnE and 51 Bard; both are well above the norm. I also had the gnome size DS bonus as well.

So, yeah, DS problems as a bard compared to ranger.

[AestheticDeath]

Wizards have a very low AS, so hunts typically seem to take longer for me with my wiz archer.. But its fun having perma haste.

Sypher, rangers wont be able to pick like level adequately. It would take a ton of post cap exp for them to add 2x pick/disarm to their repertoire, and then they would be severely limited as they don't have 403/404 unless with imbeds/scrolls which counts as half bonus. At best they would only get a portion of the boxs. I'll guess and say 70% at best, as a lot of the boxs I find in OTF are -1000 locks or better. A few are -800 to -900. And the rare ones which are like kobold skill level.. -5s and such. But there would be a lot of boxs they would not be able to open. Even a halfling with 202 ranks in picking would only have -855 skill with a vaalin pick which means more along the lines of -954 max lock without lore?

The DS from a rangers spells are negligible. Especially if you consider you will be stance dancing, or hunting from the shadows. And since rogues could triple dodge and make up for the spell DS in the later levels.

And this is all self spelled conjecture as far as I am concerned, otherwise they each will have access to ALL the same spells. Except for a few self cast ones. So you don't count the 400s on the ranger.

The TD doesnt seem to be much higher from their spells either, and a rogue would more than likely be in heavier armor sooner, further weakening the gap in TD there. I don't think either of them can get TD high enough to ward like level creatures very well, but correct me if I am wrong.

The extra perception does help aiming from the open, and it gives extra DS.
My rogues keep up surge just fine, even with SM, though mine don't use either atm. Long enough to fry especially.

Encumbrance definitely plays a role, as it will lower your DS. And lessen your resistance to maneuver attacks.

[complac3ncy]

If you're number crunching, rogue's are better archers. The cheaper training has nothing to do with it really, and neither does picking boxes, not sure why picking boxes got brought up in the thread, but anyways..
Archery at cap is pretty balanced from what i've experienced. My post cap half elf ranger shoots a 498AS with COL signs. That is around what a capped elven type rogue will fire at as well, without 425. I can also add about 25-30 more onto that with my giftbag item, assume aspect, and adventurer badge. Wether your a rogue, or ranger, with maxed ranged/perception/ambush training, that type of AS is enough to destroy anything pretty much except your golems and construct types that we archers hate. None of the other rogue or archer rangers that I am familiar with have problems walking through oldfaendryl or the ruined temple. Having played both professions, cap and post cap, I would put my money with the ranger, as far as hunting efficiency goes. The ranger spell line is just great for hunting, especially with the introduction of lore. Rangers don't need lower skill costs, or 425, or a bajillion cman abilities, because thier spells speak very loudly. Rangers can't 3x perception and 3x ambush for a reason, not that it will have much of a diffrence at cap anyways, but they can't because of game balance. Ranger's melee weapon type, whatever it may be, compliments thier additional weapons in thier spells. With the power to calm and annihilate swarms or prone and instantaneously induce huge DS penalties and casting hindrences or just spike the the tits off critters all while hiding behind a wall of thorns just to name a few abilities, it shouldn't surprise anyone why the advance weapon style training is left to the rogues. Let them have some fun on the enruned and mithril we can't just blow up.
Uhh, but anyways, back to the question which was what race/proffesion makes the best archers. Honestly on paper, rogues look better. Thier skill costs are cheaper and can be trained higher, namely perception and ambush. AS wise, rogue and ranger will be very similar. What race..I would say any of the stronger races that don't get a negative penalty to stregth. I think most people like firing faster moreso than firing a tad harder. If you want to make a character that does nothing but shoot a bow and brag all day about it, then go with the giant or half krol rogue.

dude, ive been playing the game since ICE. What I say is law.

[AestheticDeath]

picking got brought up as the discussion of getting silvers which was part of the original question.. being able to open your own boxs vs skinning better

[AestheticDeath]

Rogues will also have a higher AS comparatively earlier on. Being able to triple perception and double ambush at the same time, and cheaper than a ranger..

1 AS for every 4 levels.

And rogues have wspec for another 10 AS pretty early.

Rogues will always have a higher constant AS than a ranger given the same race.

[Danical]

[Soulpieced]

Having tested with archery when GS3 was transferring to IV, bards seemed insanely powerful. Again, having a 1 RT with aimed, or plain longbow shot is far superior to a higher AS or DS with any other profession. You won't have to hide, and lullabye plus an aimed shot with 1 second is kind of a no brainer. Bards also probably have one of the higher potential AS' for archery, with bonuses from 425 and 1019.

[Cademus]

So many opinions. Hm, I should have added that in terms of spells, we are assuming that any easily attainable spell(spells that can be imbedded through common means, group spells and the like) are available for everyone.

With that being said I would be correct in saying Rogues and Rangers are "neck and neck" for the title as best archers?

Song of noise or whatever it is that stops magic from being cast is also pretty win, but then I dont think you can keep the haste song up(not sure, never played a bard). But thats what haste imbeds are for anyway.

[Danical]

Song of noise or whatever it is that stops magic from being cast is also pretty win, but then I dont think you can keep the haste song up(not sure, never played a bard). But thats what haste imbeds are for anyway.

You can actually.

My preliminary tests with Song of Noise works as follows:

The song triggers every 5 seconds. If you move to a new room you could possibly wait anywhere from 0-5 seconds for it to trigger unless you manually renew it. Once the song triggers in a room creatures will have a fuck of a hard time casting through it but the bard will as well. To overcome this problem so you can put tonis up, change 1 room quickly, mash the tonis macro before Song of Noise triggers, then go back to the original room you were in.

Also, SP, 1019 isn't Eonak's glory or whatever. You're thinking 1007.

[Stretch]

Bard would be most effective post cap. 1 second aimed shots pretty much speak for themselves. Purification is a huge plus.

I would still put rogues above rangers in terms of utility/effectiveness. AS bonus from Phoen's is more than offset by Surge, and while Camouflage is nice, at that point either profession should have a high enough attack that another 30 wouldn't make a difference.

Rogues have access to 404 and cheaper Perception training, which makes accuracy all that much better. Sure, rangers can 2x Perception and hit an eye maybe 75% to 80% of the time, but throw 404 on and that jumps up to 90%. Rangers can do the resist armor thing, which I don't know too much about but I assume there's not a booming market for.

I go through 60 tritons or 80 Ithzir per 16 minute hunt, and average 6-7 boxes. Assuming it would cost 2.5k for the locksmith to open each box (probably on the low end), that's an extra 15k+ per hunt just from being able to open own boxes.

In terms of DS, my rogue does fine self-cast in the Temple. With 401 and a small statue, hunting DS is 393 with a 4x bow and 8x plate. If I wanted to bother, I could tack on an additional 20 DS and 20 TD for 280k exp worth of spells. An additional 112k exp of spells would yield another 20 TD. It is also easier to pick up a second weaponstyle.

You can get haste imbeddibles easily thereby lessening the value of that bard ability.





I would still put rogues above rangers in terms of utility/effectiveness. AS bonus from Phoen's is more than offset by Surge,

Yes, but you need to keep surge up continuously along with any other cmans you got going includ. shadow mastery and the occasional guild skills. Plus, on top of phoen's I can get an additional +16 bonus to my strength through 650. Additionally this allows me to choose a weaker race which allows me to choose a race with better archery stats, further increasing my AS.



and while Camouflage is nice, at that point either profession should have a high enough attack that another 30 wouldn't make a difference.

Camo also provides a bonus to stay hidden.



Rogues have access to 404 and cheaper Perception training, which makes accuracy all that much better. Sure, rangers can 2x Perception and hit an eye maybe 75% to 80% of the time, but throw 404 on and that jumps up to 90%. Rangers can do the resist armor thing, which I don't know too much about but I assume there's not a booming market for.

Rangers also have access to 404, which is a commonly imbeddible spell. The extra perception is offset by 613 Self control:

This powerful spell will allow the caster to focus her will, as well as energy from the natural surroundings, and set up a powerful protection field around her. Self Control will not only offer physical protection by adding +20 Defense Strength (DS), except Bolt DS, +1 for every 2 Ranger Spell ranks beyond 13, but spell protection as well by adding +20 Spirit Target Defense (TD).

Self Control (613) also provides a bonus to spotting and disarming traps while utilizing the DISARM command on treasure boxes. This bonus is increased by training in the Ranger spell circle.

Additionally, Self Control assists the caster in resisting certain fear-based attacks.

Archers and hurlers who are AIMing, receive an increasing bonus in the chance to hit their mark, which is based on Ranger spell ranks.

Training in Spiritual Lore, Blessings provides an additional Spirit Target Defense bonus of +1 at 5 ranks, to a maximum of +10 at 95 ranks.

Unlike many other spells that have increasing bonuses, Self Control's mana cost does not increase; the mana cost is 13 per cast.


I go through 60 tritons or 80 Ithzir per 16 minute hunt, and average 6-7 boxes. Assuming it would cost 2.5k for the locksmith to open each box (probably on the low end), that's an extra 15k+ per hunt just from being able to open own boxes.

This is dependent on what you hunt. Rangers can skin far better then rogues can with their skinning spell. Plus, this assumes Rangers can't pick at all. They can 2x/2x with ranger spells that help in disarm/locks etc. Someone mentioned about 70% of OTF boxes can be picked this way. 30% of 15k =4500 silvers that the ranger is missing out on. Thats not much, and is more then offset by the ranger's skinning ability.



In terms of DS, my rogue does fine self-cast in the Temple. With 401 and a small statue, hunting DS is 393 with a 4x bow and 8x plate. If I wanted to bother, I could tack on an additional 20 DS and 20 TD for 280k exp worth of spells. An additional 112k exp of spells would yield another 20 TD. It is also easier to pick up a second weaponstyle.

Ranger and Rogues DS are pretty much comparable. I think TD is slightly higher on a ranger due to ranger specific spells. Note: This is including easily attainable imbeds from the 400 list.

P.S. I don't know much about the resist armor market. I do know that people do comission rangers to get their armors resisted especially at higher levels. And with the recent changes to what armors can be resisted this may have improved?

[Stretch]

Heh, sounds like you already have your mind made up.

Anyway, I would be willing to bet that non-pures who are willing to rely on imbeds to hunt are far and few between.

I would say that 70% is pretty optimistic for OTF. Assuming a DEX bonus of +25, that puts you at a max lock of -820. That means if you roll 100, you can get a -820 open. For the Aqueducts, that *might* get you 70%, but main road averages probably closer to the mid to high 800s.

Nelemar averages upward of -1000.

I have zero trouble keeping surge and smastery running concurrently for the duration of my hunt. At worst, I don't have surge running for 30 seconds. Most of the time, I just fire from the open anyway since hiding is a waste of time.

[Asha]

It makes me happy to know that eventually the cooloff from both will eventually not matter.

[Drew]

The extra perception is offset by 613 Self control


Actually it makes the ranger a better. Aiming is only improved up to 2x. A 2x percep and 3x percep rogue the exact same. So a 2x percep ranger with 613 is more accurate than a 3x rogue.

[Cademus]

Yeah, I went through the spell list and numbers again. In my opinion the ranger is better at archery, but only at archery.

When it comes to CMANs, the rogue has some real nice -get me out of here!-cmans. So that may push rogues on top or make them even with rangers.

My real big question is with a ranger, what race would maximize? Specifically what race(s) can shoot a longbow in 5 seconds?

[Stretch]

Actually it makes the ranger a better. Aiming is only improved up to 2x. A 2x percep and 3x percep rogue the exact same. So a 2x percep ranger with 613 is more accurate than a 3x rogue.

Are you sure about the perception cap?

The AS bonus caps at 2x, but I was under the impression that 402/3x percep > 2x perception. That's certainly the case with edged.

[Anebriated]

Im not positive but I think my elven ranger was at a 5 second shot, 6 aimed with a longbow. Its been a solid 3 years since ive had him though, maybe someone else can verify.

[Cademus]

Hm,anyone know the strength bonus/RT reduction rate?

[Stretch]

-1 RT for every 10 STR bonus

5 second base for short bow
6 second base for compositve bow
7 second base for long bow

+1 RT for hiding
+1 RT for aiming

Max STR bonuses by race:

Giantman +40
Half-Krolvin +35
Human +30
Erithian +20
Burghal Gnome +10
Dwarf +35
Forest Gnome +15
Halfling +10
Aelotoi +20

[Cademus]

-1 RT for every 10 STR bonus

5 second base for short bow
6 second base for compositve bow
7 second base for long bow

+1 RT for hiding
+1 RT for aiming

Max STR bonuses by race:

Giantman +40
Half-Krolvin +35
Human +30
Erithian +20
Burghal Gnome +10
Dwarf +35
Forest Gnome +15
Halfling +10
Aelotoi +20

Thanks much. Btw, I'm going to assume the height restriction on aiming for small races (dwarves/halflings) don't exist when using a ranged weapon ?

[Asha]

Heh no.

[Anebriated]

way to leave elves off the list...

[AestheticDeath]

If we are going to be throwing everything out there, I suppose you shouldn't forget that rogues will have better redux. And in higher class armor more often than not.

And yeah I was giving the box percentile a bit of a boost just in case. 70% is a bit optimistic.

[Anebriated]

.

Post cap Id say a rogue is better because they will have an easier time with armor training and can easily pick up FA and survival to skin while a ranger wouldnt have the same redux and be unable to pick their own boxes.

[AestheticDeath]

.

[complac3ncy]

Umm, hopefully all the "my character pwns your character" etc stuff is overwith and we can continue to discuss what race/profession makes the best archers. So....um..
I'm going with half elf rangers! Good hp's, good overall racial bonuses, bonus from self controll and aspect, can shoot a longbow in 5 self buffed. Very good all around with really no notable disadvantages. A training regimen of 2x ranged/perc/ambush/1x spell is very doable but can be tight. But we're talking about archer capabilities, not being able to build a fire, wear plate armor, or pick capped lv boxes.

[AestheticDeath]

good luck with a sucky character




just kidding...
