    Good news. Hopefully he'll make Blind work with skills after fixing the 100% crit bug.

    @Violette Dyonisys Thanks for the update... sounds like I should switch to tactics still then. ;)

    And the Light Armor tree for archery should perhaps be better than the Tactics tree because real archers wear leather :)

    You can still wear light armor and be very powerful as an archer, Dodge and the passives being super strong for an archer, but being strategic, and having good tactics seems to pay off.

    Just FYI it is one of the easy ones, nearly everything levels it, even auto-attacks! Should not be too long!

    Yeah I figured.. I'll just take off all my armor, buy a basic sword, turn on auto attack, and smash away... Was going to go for the 8x XP boost (potion + GM) ;) But 4x will be decent.

    I switched from air spec to tactics, got tactics up to 81 in about an hour. Air spec is disabled obviously, but took longer to go down - nearly gone now.
    A question for the masters - is there any value in pushing tactics spec to 100?
    TIA

    I thought the idea was to have both air AND tactics spec'd...

    Every 20 levels gives an additional 12.5% crit damage, extra 0.5 seconds on super-parry, 1% less defensive stance attack speed debuff, extra 2.5 offhand parry modifier... quite a bit so probably but would depend on how much XP you got and what got might want to level instead/first. I took mine to 120 but that was after I finished off a ton of other stuff first.

    I'm guessing GM for beserker stance (should it be stacked?), blind, and air shield?

    IMHO yes. Beserker doesn't stack unfortunately; I'm pushing air shield as high as I can (target 140). Haven't tried blind so I can't comment - I note a previous comment that archers would find it fairly weak.

    There is also the tactics earth spec build, its nice cuz you get more str from 6 stack and attunement from spec, and the sheildof crystal speced adds more avoidance that goes beyond the 2 avoidance skills, and when in zerker stance you rely on avoidance.
