AP Archer vs Tank Archer (RLB)

[FearsNoOne]

Which do you think is better for RLB and what gear? Thanks

[FL3r]

are u that kind of archer that likes to vs alot? like lure 1-2 ppl and vs them? then tank archer with rols, shells, wep def belt etc

but if just keep running and dont want to vs anyone just go ap whore:P
elf rings, fps or chits, elf belt, pp etc

edit: cant really say whats better
in clan partys id go ap archer
but if u run solo alot id go with a more balanced build

Thanks I appreciate it, i assume with Tank archer you would want EE and AP either enion or ib?

[FL3r]

thats what i would go for , ye
lets say u have enough money for ee+8

then u can get ee+8, thats some extra hp, resis and def - good for tanking
with same amount of money u can get an ib at higher +, thats what i would go for as ap whore :P

If I was an AP whore with decent gear, compared to a Tank archer with decent gear...which do you think would be better then.

RLB i'd go more tank

my DCZ has 3 fp+9, chitin+9 rv, +8 chitin, dual rol+1, eb+2, re+3, se+2, pp+3 and buying an IB+9 or ee+8...
this is mainly ap build but has ac/hp things too , i'd go simular to this build but RLB go shells+8 if possible

[FL3r]

well, im that kind of player whos alot in arena when im bored or running around solo
thats why id go with a tank archer
but thats just me :P

[FearsNoOne]

Ok thank you, what if i couldnt get the best gear possible which build would be better then do you think?

[Restless]

Ap whore is the only solution for archer.

[FearsNoOne]

Why do you say that?

[SSlayer]

Fear, my post above suggests good gear which will give u about 2.5k ap +, like 2.5k hp, and good mp
and about 1100 ac

[FearsNoOne]

Ok thank you very much

i like a more balanced build for archer if you rlb there is no reason not to have shell+8 you have the stats for it . Id go shell8>chitnin 8 > fp9.
for bow ee 8 rocks more ap then ib 8 or eb8 and hase good resit and hp bouneses
hr as high +as you can get > se > 16d 3 hp
pp or wp ,i perefer pp for the dex and less xpenseve
in rlb you dont have to worry about sins cp or warrior hellblade so you dont really need a warror pendint imo
cant beat rol or leganare bands i perfer rol for rlb not many mages(on my sever any way)
i use leganeare band tho but im cz archer for the more resit
i would use elf belt as high as you can get it and mabey have old skell belt for if you get in trouble
rlb map is pretty open you shouldnt have to worry about getting boxed in
and hp valks i use ac valk tho to help off set the -70 ap of my wf
good luck

id say balanced, go chitin 8 / shell
ROLS
PP
Judi belt
Rogue earings / HR

something like that, i used that when i was archer
worked good for me

hm for rlb priorize ap a bit over tank stats, they wont spam u for 1k if u dont (cant say the same for cz).

id suggest to go for:
shells8 or chitins8 if u cant afford
ee8
hr
dex+14 earring
1 rol 1 legio (higher + if u can afford)
elf belt +0 or higher (or glass belt, not really necessary though)
wp+1 or pp+2 ...personally i would take wp, more hp is always better for an archer, cuz ur like a warrior when it comes to vsing people, some might say that u can minor while vsing but it isnt really noticeable and all it does is depleting ur rlb limited mana even quicker

there u have decent ap, nice resistances (80 fr, 70 gr, 80 lr) and high ac at the same time.
