Hi,

I am working on a warfare/defensive build. I can handle anything in mele(gorgons, cyclops, you name it). I am in epic but I get owned by ranged attacks. The arrows slaughter me quickly. Any suggestions on skills to use to stop this? I am level 33.

Thanks!

A) Get more pierce resistance
B) Get more health
C) Kill the Archers first, For bosses get more DPS

What i would do since most of those are long term / luck finding items. I would just buy a lot of potions and tough it out

I've had the same problems w/ Epic and my Conquerer. My partial solutions:


War Horn (Warfare). Even if you get a 2 sec. stun, that's enough for you to run in and finish off the archers before the melees recover.
Full Adrenline + Resilience (Defense). You actually regen a lot of your life either in battle or between battles, saving on potions. Combo w/ a lvl 1 Rally and watch the bar fly.
Shield Charge (Defense). Get to the archers and take them out first.
Bow as alt. weapon. I'm trying this out right now, since both Warfare and Defense have DEX as a secondary attribute, they can actually yield pretty powerful bows and do good damage.

Shield charge is a great way to close in on those archers.
