I dont like to run with loads of faction arties just because it will cost more gold each death VS imbued better items. So this is my Archery dismount tamer's suit,
Hit Chance Increase: 65%
Defense Chance Increase: 65%
Damage Increase: 24%
Swing Speed Increase: 35%
Lower Mana Cost: 30%
Dexterity Bonus: 26
Strength Bonus: 20
Hit Point Regeneration: 4
Mana Regeneration: 11
Hit Point Increase: 31
Mana Increase: 25
Enhance Potions: 45%
All 70's suit and I use 4 rank 7 faction arties. Some of these mod's include the imbued Heavy X-bow with 20 HCI\DCI to counter both HLD\HLA. But even then your DCI\HCI if lowered are still ok at 35%. Spirit Totem, CC, RBC,Fey Leg's. The ring and braclet need to be top of the line. I run with imbued invasion Bow(ssi50) Mortal for the win!
My stat's before buff are,
Str 116 Hp133 Dex 130 Stam 130 Int 55 Mana 100
Now with pot and purple petal's with 45 ep Im at Str 150 Hp 150 Dex 150 Stam 150 Int 55 Mana 100
Just get with a good crew of players that will help you when needed. Have fun.
