[RED] Archer Skill Builds

The way I see it, EP is extremely useful for training because it draws aggro and also absorbs a good amount of damage, especially at max. IS is very helpful, but considering EP requires so little sp, I would max it before I started the 30 sp trip to maxing IS. MW is good as well, but not necessarily better than the other skills we get (+ if you are training at high population areas, LHC/SH, then someone else in your party most likely has a good MW level). Also, MW books are really expensive when compared to the non-existant books for EP, so that's just another reason I'd go EP before MW.

You remember how the rare mobs spawned a lot before nexon decided to "fix it"? Ems never had that "fix", we still have high spawning rare mobs so books is never the issue and we didnt keep LHC and SH party play which is why Im wondering how elite puppet would be handy when its either grinding at stronghold without the party play, pq or monster park (puppet has 0 uses at mp if you party). And does the puppet absorb dmg you take or does it just ignore 20% of the dmg it recieves?
