Hi all , due to the fact that i lag a LOT i decided to spend my time making this guide 
instead of lagging and dieing at trees, so anyways i shall cover the basic concepts
,builds etc etc. 

Let’s start off, an archer is by definiton a support DD, not the highest damage
dealer in the group but the most effective.Our ability to kite* our mobs makes
us take less hits and its loads of fun x3

*kite: hitting a mob with an attack and running away while casting DoTs skills till mob
dies is kiting.

Path of your archer:

Well basically the build is what makes an archer, countless ones have been 
tried and tested and the one that is said to be the best (i dont like it though) is :

1) 25 SPR , rest STR: basically you hit hard but die quick, however 
+9 gears and END DEX gears will prevent you from taking exteneded amounts
of dirt naps.Most popular build right now, as it offers great pve and pvp damage,
but low survivability at both.

the second most common build would be:

2) 25 SPR 50 DEX rest STR: a truly remarkable build , offering both
damage and survivability, however not the best at both, again +9 /END DEX
gears will be best suited. This one is my favourite build of them all and i
recommend it.

3) Full SPR, crit monster/godess: gawd this build ish CRAZY, aaaaahhhhh 
the noise of the crit sounds will drive you nuts, highly versatile build as your damage
depends on the defence of the enemy, lower the defence the better you’ll fare, as
apo’s crit queen has pointed out( Vecuu has 32% crit rate with no cs items)

4) 25 SPR rest DEX or full DEX: not the most popular but i’ve expereiced
what it can do, this also my current build, great at survivablity, both at pvp and
pve and against BK weapons,but has low burst damage. Also this build is very
hard to work with at the lower levels, i woudnt reccomend it.

5) 25 SPR 50 END rest STR: I know one archer with this build and he t
urned out quite fine, great at surviving and dealing damage,i personally woundt
reccomend it.

Weapon choice:

Eh you have loads of inventory space carry both, use the one that best suits you.

However for aoeing cross bows are the best.
Soloing , bows would fare better.

Empowering:

Well archers do get the lowest amount of skills to play with and we have been whining about that since this game started, well i say DEAL WITH IT.
If empowered right your skills will be a deadly aresenal

For solo and parties:

Full cool time and damage on :
aimed shot,power shot, nature’s mist,piercing shot

For solo:

Cool time on: aimed shot,power shot, bone shot,poison shot, venoumous shot,nature’s mist and piercing shot.

For the party bound archer:

Full damage on : aimed shot, power shot
full cool time and damage on: nature’s mist,piering shot and multi shot.

Note:if you dont have your cool times empowered to the MAX on nature’s mist and piercing shot i will laugh at you.

Tips on how to kite nad not take a dirt nap:

basic single target kiting:

venoum->poison->bone(let the mob die for 5 seconds)-> power shot->aim shot

Multi target kiting , post 51:

nature’s mist: endless spam till they die

post 75

nature’s mist->piercing shot endless spam.

Duoing with different classes:

Cleric and archer:

best class to duo with past lvl 51, easy to get large groups of mobs and kill them

Tips:
1)Estimate how many hits it takes for the mob to kill you
ex: hp of my archer is close to 5k and the mobs hit me for 300~400 so i 
estimate i can handle 10 ~12 mobs
2) Gather said amount of mobs
3) Try to maintain a staright pathas much as possible, if necessary follow a oval path 
to avoid aggroing more mobs
4)Never run too far ahead
5) NEVER EVER use nature’s protection
6)If any mobs are attacking the cleric cast mist on them to regain aggro, 
remember keep all mobs following you.
