[Archery] PVM archery nowadays

[Ford Taunus]

I would like to do PVM archer to solo peerless bosses & champion spawn.

What is best template nowadays?

Just PVM NOT PVP.

Is it Sampire Archer? ABC Archer? Wraith archer?

So what kind of template I should take and what kind of stuff (Armours & weapons)

Hi, "best" is almost always a subjective word isn't it? What is your goal with your template. I haven't played in a bit, but did ABC archer back in the day and it did quite fine. Sampire is more of a melee-elated template as the benefits of that template coincide best with a melee-wielding toon. HCI is one of your best tools to have capped. Other than that, need more info. Where do you plan to play this template?

I do solo spawns on an ABC archer now and then. (usually baracoon, rikkitor, niera)
But tbh, sampires if they are build correct are so much more effective.
I don't think anyone solos peerless using archers.

As to me ABC Archer is very good. It is better than Sampire Archer or Wraith Archer.
Melee Archer usually does things even faster/better but it's not pure archer.

IIRC I have solo'ed all peerless with an ABC Archer. (well, except Grizzly... just because I have never been in Bedlam)

The hard part about doing a Champ Spawn solo on an archer are the first two levels of a spawn... there is just so much you have to kill before you can advance it along. Even level 3 can be tough depending on the spawn. Sampires are much more effective for killing multiple mobs simultaneously at lower levels. But for Level 4 and the boss... archers do just fine.

ABC Archer is probably your best bet. I personally like Wraith archers more... but they are much slower moving which can be a problem if you get surrounded by spellcasters. My Vamp Thrower does okay too - but, I usually am always with atleast one other person.

Let us know how it turns out. Good luck!

With 120 Chivalry you can use Holy Light on 1-2 levels. The good thing is you are casting and shooting at the same time, so you always has mana for casting and leaching some life too.

Personally I'd say a Thrower over an Archer for several reasons; ammo, carrying weight, 1h, metal weapons, racial 5 HCI. I would then make it so that you can use both Vamp Form and Wraith Form with Bushido. Momentum Strike & Hit Area work well at clearing spawn. If you don't like the Wraith part I would say Swords/Throwing/Sampire, perfect for spawns a little bit weaker on peerless depending on which one due to having two weapon skills instead of damage output.
