Best Archer Traits in Halls of Torment
After gaining a level, players will be able to choose a trait that affects the character’s stats.
These traits are random, so it is not always possible to get the ones you would like to activate.
If given such an opportunity, go for traits that increase attack speed, critical damage, and additional attacks.
When it comes to traits, you want to prioritize the following ones on Archer:
- Quick Hands: 8% faster attack
- Strength: 10% more damage
- Ruthlessness: 20% Critical Damage Bonus
- Piercing Wind: +1 Piercing
- Proficient Stance (Projectiles): +0.15 Projectiles (Main Weapon)
- Weapon Proficiency (Attack Speed): +20% Attack Speed (Main Weapon)
- Multihit: +10% Additional Attacks
The Archer is played around with the idea of you keeping your distance from all the enemies coming for you. With exceptional ranged attacks you will be able to destroy anything you will come up against.
Best Archer Abilities in Halls of Torment
As for Abilities, the best ones for the Archer are the following:
- Lightning Strike: Strikes random enemies with lightning, and stuns surrounding enemies around the target. Hit enemies get electrified.
- Phantom Needles: Fire needles at random nearby enemies in quick succession. Multihit increases the attack speed.
- Transfixion: Fire projectiles in the direction you are facing. Damage is reduced for every enemy hit. Chance to apply Fragile effect.
Probably the best ability at the moment is Lightning Strike. This does a lot of damage on impact and ensures that the opponent gets a debuff that deals damage again and again.
You should always focus the traits for the Lightning Strike on Attack Speed, Additional Strikes, Damage, and Crit Damage secondary.
