Is the sage build worth the scattered attribute points?

[shanco]

I just wanted to get some feedback on what the best way to use attribute points on this build would be? Also what do you guys think the best archer build would be?

[Claudius]

I have not played sage but I have played hybrids: an Illusionist who was an armored melee caster and an Evoker, the same.

I have a couple things in mind...

Look at end game gear to help you decide whether to go strength (which does more physical AND pierce if you have enough +%piercing damage) or intelligence if the bow does a lot of elemental damage.

Unless there is a good bow that does a truckload of elemental damage I think you want to use strength to deal damage.

Now look at gear again and think how much dex and intelligence you need to equip endgame gear. Stonebinders are 394 dex I think?? You'll probably need about 408 dex to equip some bows anyhow.

Maybe even use Archmage's clasp if you want high - recharge and do some thunderball or lightning spam. (But you would probably need - to requirements if you want Tracker's Hood Archmage's Clasp and some strength).

So.....1) Look at endgame gear 2) try to find some - requirements piece of equip if you want to do something real crazy

Second Question: Best archer build I hear is Haruspex or Ranger (I would think Brigand might be good too)
