One thing to consider is that Defense & Nature (Guardian) generally has very poor OA. If you mix in Onslaught with your Marksmanship shots, you can grab monster aggro by shooting them before your...

CtAP is a bit silly. I can understand the logic of a toon who is so Ninja-nimble that he could dodge a single flying arrow or even several. But dodging a solid beam of light like Aktaios' ceiling...

Farm the Hydra for it. You'll get tons of them.

You should have 420-450 Dex endgame which will give you base OA of 420-450. Multiply by Premonition's max+4 +30% for 546-585 OA. Reduce monster DA by Flush Out's ~50% DA reduction (max +4) and a...

Act IV Lamians also have high CtAP. Or perhaps high blocking, I'm not sure. But either way, Soronis is a much more hazardous area for my archers than my melee toons.

There's no reason why you can't use both. In fact, there's very little reason not to have a bow/spear hybrid with all Hunting classes. Bow toons are susceptible if they get mobbed by melee foes,...

Vitality is the only one a Conq needs to worry about. Two points in Iron Will +4 skills = 80% Stun and Entrapment resistance for any Defense toon.

About the only other time a secondary resistance...

Good luck finding anything with mage affixes. In finding more than 100 pairs of SBC, I've only ever got two ...of the Gryphon. Instead, I'd aim for something a bit more common but which can still be...

Monster Lure will always drop at the 2 o'clock position, relative to where you are standing. So if you approach a mob in the bottom-left corner of the screen and cast ML, you will be between the mob...

Good idea. I don't use LS for bow Brigs at all. It takes a lot of energy and either takes up the RMB (which I don't want, Study Prey is on RMB) or it has to be hotkeyed. If it's hotkeyed, then...

Although harbinger has come to mean an omen that foreshadows a future event ("reduced consumer spending is a harbinger of recession"), the term used to refer to a military appointee who was sent...

You can't throw ML. Like Battle Standard, it will just drop near you.

The reason your Dex is too high is not because you applied your attribute points wrongly. It's because you are (understandably) of the view that unique (blue or purple) gear is better than green....

One way to reduce Energy usage at this point is to put Batter on RMB rather than LMB. When it's on LMB, it will proc as soon as it's ready - even if you are just tackling one monster. There is no...

Over the balance of the game, yes. Haruspex would be better because, in the very early levels where you can't have the gear or skills to get high shield blocking or DA, Haru can use bow. Taking on...

Resistances aren't a great formula for a tank because there are too many of them to max out. Instead, not getting hit is the best way to survive. That entails the characteristics you listed - DA,...

Sleep isn't great for archers because any damage wakes monsters up from Sleep. So your first Scatter Shot fragments that hit a crowd will wake them all up before they're dead. Which negates the...

I would take 11 points out of Marksmanship and use them to move up the Dream mastery, taking a couple of points in ToC as soon as it becomes available. The reason you are brittle and have little...

These Days, the question was "Is there any build out there that doesn't require it [spamming pots]?" It's a simple answer: there is no build that requires spamming pots. You can choose to be a...

Yes, 1:1 is good and is especially recommended with Dream toons who get no Dex from the mastery.

There is no need to rush to DR/TR. Archers shouldn't get mobbed, DR/TR is a better skill for melee...

Tyr has answered everything but I'll give more detail on this:



Monster Lure is utterly useless in Normal, monsters kill it in one hit. But, because ML is a pet and pets get huge HP boosts in...

Life leech and ADCtH are weapon procs. Spells and auras don't work.

Bow Brigand is one of the weakest archers in terms of DPS. I'm not sure where the myth arose that bow Brigs are such tremendous damage dealers. The only DPS enhancements they get are to Bleeding and...

This game is made for kiting. The leash on bosses and even trash mobs makes it very easy. For example, Nessus can be beaten just by plinking him from a distance and then running away beyond his...

Why do you specifically want to be a mage? Spellbreaker, Spellbinder and Diviner can all steal life from anything (Necrosis) that takes them on in melee range, while also being competent melee...
