I'm sorry but this is not the best thread because all archers arent dedicated to ranged dps. My archer kicks butt both solo and in dungeons. In dungeons i dps a lot but when i solo i have a great way to play that kills big mobs really quick. My build starts with level 2 u add 5 to str to even it with dex. Then add 5 to dex at ur next level and then after that add 5 to str. Then i started lowering the str added. The str is soley for iron claymore and some other warrior gear. I dont wanna say full dex is bad but u cant say its the only way to play an archer.
