Maybe it's way to early for anyone to know the answer to this question, but here it goes.

1. In the dexterity stat description it says that it effects arrow damage.  Does strenghth effect archery in ANY way?

2. I naturally started a rogue as my primary class.  What subclass would make the best archer as the characters primary role?

Thanks ahead of time if anyone knows the answer to these questions.

The tips on the bonus CD say generaly to go with Dex/Cunning for acher while using Dex str for the heavy armor duel weapon kind of rouge



for ranger after you get the skill Lethality, cunning is then used to determine how hard you hit instead of str.



im not sure about the subclass part though

I've been experimenting with archery and in general I am pretty disappointed in the damage and skills so far. I seem to do much more damage dual wielding and backstabbing without speccing into it. Bows just seem to have a low fire rate and unimpressive damage.



Big thing I noticed too is that you can't apply poisons to ranged weapons, which seems strange.

[lando986]

there is a skill/mastery that is suppost to increase the fire rate

[Warskullx]

Yeah, rapid fire, its still pretty unimpressive. I have a number of points in archery and still end up doing more just dual wielding.

Archery ain't impressive, I gotta admit it, but I prefer ranged weapons because when I,m in deep sh!t (for example, when all I had was my Daelish Elf Rogue and Alistair alive when I fought that Demon in that Tower), I was just keeping that beast busy running after me while Alistair was striking him in the back and when that Demon was then focusing on Alistair, I could shoot arrows from a distance and then, he would try to get me, so I was running and etc...



I think The Rogue is a class when we'll have to be patient to see it be devastating.

For what it is worth, there are more than several encounters where having good ranged damage beats having excellent melee damage. Dragons anyone? I have had more luck against dragons by simply letting shale solo it and wynn heal him, if i put anyone else in melee range they just passively die from aoe or wynn goes out of mana too quickly and i loose anyway, now if my pc were an archer i would be doing twice as much damage against these tricky dragons/some other bosses. If i had made my pc a tank, then the ideal party in some of these encounters would be leliana, morrigan and wynn, as it stands, my pc has been relegated to cheerleader status vs dragons and some of the trickyer revenants. (Having said that, if i had made my pc a tank i would have screwed him up just as much as i screwed up alistair and still been forced to keep shale in my party )

Point? Having a ranged character is perfectly viable, though i feel like it requires far more investment than other approaches to get the sweet damage, so if you want to have an easy time with parts of the game where you are forced to solo you may find you are forced to neglect some of the utility/non combat skills, atleast early on.

Well you got bow with enchants and 1 of those enchants is called RAPID AIM

Rapid aim bassicly is a replacment for Rapid Fire wich means you have more chance on crits and thus more damage. Get lethality in the mix and you got a kick ass archer type character.



I have to admit the start of an archer is bad, but the further you get in archery the beter it becomes and as said previously, spend points in Dexerity and Cunning only and get your Strenght to 20 max for the high tier leather gear.
