atm i plan 2 party with my dual boxer and let it lv with me
so what should i do ? get a healer (bishop?) or buffer? dont mean 2 be selfish but i just best buffs for my HE what class should i do ?
prophet is the best buffs an archer can get from one class
if you wanna be hardcore you want prophet/BD/SWS/kitty buffs but odds are you dont want to box all that
if you want the most bang for your buck from 1 buffer only prophet is the way to go, forget about ever useing it for lvling a mage alt and if you plan on playing a melee in the future a WCer would be better but the best buffer for an archer is a PP
If you don't mind getting the buffs (a lot) later WC is excellent. Focus 3 is not untill 68. But prophet has other nice buffs, such as bless the body (sorry "blessed body"...), zerk, holy weapon and resists.
Resist unholy, Berserker Spirit and Holy Weapon are invaluable.
Only reason WC > PP is MP management (not an issue if you are a box, or rather, more of an issue for WC than PP if you are a box and only buffing yourself), VR, and CoV (unlikely your box will ever get that high).
I think for that class a PP will be the best one, get good buffs early than a WC in ur class u be running a lot if u want a toon to follow you at the same time you need ww can't get that in WC, WC good buffs will come later only, SE get some buffs too and recharges but the VR you don't really need it as an archer, so i think PP will be the best choice
pp are used for like duoing in a party they rock too but a WC is meant for a party do to his buff going on everyone in his party that why his mana for his buff are alot of mana but wc one for when he get lvl 78 COV IS AWSOME same for POF but i like pp better do to the blessed the body and zerk and all the others one
Another fake pp on the game. Welcome ghost player. Once nobody will actually play the buffer you can do a pp, it has a really good set of buffs for an archer. But, if someone will play it, you coud try think on wc, it's actually the best buffer around, but take some time to get some buffs.
Just go look on the library and see when each one get haste 2 (something you can't miss), dw and focus.

LoL Orvieta i just think PP is better to that class in fact i have a SE, PP and a WC ;)
And all are great, just depend the char i use to dualbox them
I had my SE as main, got nerfed so bad in C5 and now in Interlude again (Invoc is nice though) that I rarely take her out anymore.
Certainly in FoD a PP will make the difference for an archer, aside of that an SE with a BTB staff and that BTS every HE gets gets you a long way as well.
im not arguing that warcrier isnt a kickass buffer
my se is subbed wcer because for a hybrid summoner warcrier is the best buffer in game
i am however argueing that its not the best buffer for an archer
I'd get a Prophet to level an archer. BTB/BTS/Zerk/HW/Regeneration/ WIND WALK!. All nice things to have. You can even have your prophet root your mobs and just shoot the mobs.
Be nice to your boxed buffers. Three of our four prophets, one of our two SE's and our EE are all in Blue Wolf robes. What else are you gonna spend that shiny gold on?
Be nice to them and they will be nice to you. ;)
PS. Unless you plan on tank archering you'll rarely get hit by a mob so healing is by the by. Go prophet just for the buffs and the timing of when it gets them.
why would you put DC on ? :/ cant you use the money elsewhere?
i dont plan 2 let my pp fight just heal and if it gets aggro on him and he does thougd luck ^^ i got 20 rez scrolls on me:P
At lower levels you'll want it to heal. After B grade, though, you'll want the PP strictly for buffs. You'll rarely get touched, and even when you do, if you're hunting in an area that drops pots, you'll always have a full hp bar anyway. Just keep a couple of QHP's/Elixirs in your inventory for emergencies.
And whatever you do, don't stop leveling the PP until you AT LEAST learn resist holy, unholy, and greater might. It seems like a long ways away, but it goes by quickly.
Focus, crucial to archers comes at lvl3 @ lvl68 for a WC.
Holy Wpn, hunt undeads with this baby PP only (among WC and PP)
WW, Blesses, Resist
What makes WC so good is that it got all offensive buffs except Holy Wpn from a PP and adde on VR. This rocks for melee who doesnt wanna spam haste2 pots with SE (like me).

basicly what i am planning 2 do is use it for selling in Seal validation week (i sell ewc 690 they sell in 20 min :P 1 time in 4 min ^^ ) now i am gonna try sell bsoe brez ewc maybe ewb
and when its not validation week aka i cant go 2 mammon 2 get new ewc i iam gonna put it in party for my HE hes now 44 and buffer is 11 but she lves slowly but surely i dont feel like exp here non party i wanna lv 1 char thats my focus
dude you are too high lvl to have the thing in party
take some time off your main and go solo the thing trust me
get it within 19 lvls of your main and it'll lvl like crazy
i know i know but i really cant find it in my self 2 lv a diff char :< plus it has crap nukes
plus i made alt 1week ago for dawn lv.26 maybe going SPS some day but i sure as hell aint gonna lv it now :/ just wanna do B grade took me 2 weeks NG D and looks like now i do B in 1 week rofl :/
i know i know but i really cant find it in my self 2 lv a diff char :< plus it has crap nukes
Maybe it's just me, but I like my PP with duals and either PL or BW Heavy. No, she doesn't level as quickly as a fighter, but it's a different change of pace.

thats not how PP roll at NG
i know it hurts to lvl the thing solo man but if you want it as a duel box for your main its the smart thing to do
Throw a little cash and get that prophet some decent nuking gear. You'll get it to 25 in minimal time (not even a day of play). It will benefit you in the long run.
PS. To answer your earlier question, I put my buff pets in DC coz it looks better. I can't afford full S grade for our two main toons so I get what I can for others. Plus I get to play different toons, e.g. recently used my BH to farm the parts for 20 sets of BO jewellery for our alts. We all get enjoyment in different ways from this game.......thank god. :p
Don't mind Pirotesa, one of many bitter SEs replaced by buffboxes and convinced there was no way to avoid it - and of course there isn't, if you're holding a crystal staff or a SoES:BTB. :p
There is a way to avoid it, reroll, but why should that be done. I don't speak for myself at all as much so for players that enjoy being support classes. Dual boxing hurts them and in the end the entire game. Anyone that truly has known me ingame, and they are few, knows I'm not like any normal SE. But I strongly do my best to help players that truly enjoy being a support class, and not a FOTM. :mad:
I enjoy playing a support class, which is precisely why I dual box: I can give my clan two support classes at once in a party, both a healer and a buffer. Hell, if we are short on damage, I can call to a damagedealer instead while still offering my main's valueable buffs. I can slave someone from my second account or play them fully, however I chose.
Two-boxing is a choice for flexibility.
I am reliefed that we have dual boxers, because it means if I don't want to join a party I don't feel pressued to. It means if we want to put together a party, we don't have to rely on the presence of a live buffer any more than we have to rely on the presence of a live DD (yes, I box one), or on the presence of a live tank (a good healer and some VR can take care of that). It means I have the freedom of choice (just like any DD that dual boxes by the way) to pick a party at my leisure and convenience.
Well, poleparties can be extreme! With OOP support your leveling speed increase alot. And once you get more experience, where to level, how to level, etc etc it gets even better. HE's can XP extremely well with a Prophet OOP. I never regret making my PP a long time ago, though it takes some time to get it to 52 where it shines, 56 is even better.
Hm I could run 3 clients on my PC, 2 on another older I have right here and if I break "usage of corporate assets" rule I could run one on laptop. That's 6 possible accounts. But I cannot imagine how to manage them, specially 2 minutes dances and such.
And thank you, I am good with mine 2, not to mention where would I get another accounts from (OK BF can log me 2 more but still ...)
I got two secondary accounts now, BD is the latest, and it's nice to have that option. Not really a hassle to invite and dance every two minutes. With a warlock it would be one more alt+tab and macro invite..
