Archer Question (in General)


3D August 19 2008 2:44 AM EDT

If I remember correctly, Archers use MSK as a mage killer team and ELB as a tank killer team. For my setup, which will be:
M1 = Evasion, DM
M2 = HP, ST, DX, Archery +ToA, currently using RoE
M3 = HP, PL (Wall)

What would go best with my setup, ELB or MSK? I have the DM for ranged kills so mage don't go boom on me and the Evasion to counter Physical Damage. Wall is also a buffer for Axbow, Exbow, and Mage teams.

I see it as trying to do way to many things at once.
Evasion shouldn't be needed, the wall is also counter to the intent of archer teams.

Archers should be all about massive damage backed up by a huge DM.

I would stay a single archer. Get some DBs to help versus Tanks. Get a Mageseeker and a large DM.

The Axbow and Exbow won't be able to get through the DBs, with 6 rounds of ranged they'll get through the PL wall.

The only downside of this is that DBs are expensive. Novice knows all about that.

Well I don't want to retire any minions.
So by taking novice's advice, drop the Evasion and go invest into DM, still keeping the PL wall?

as far as half measures go that sounds reasonable

alisa actually works quite well with a build like that with an ELB...
