I enjoy playing this archer but I feel like my skill allocation is not optimal. I use him for overall general playing and not for any specific purpose. I've never attempted a Peerless with him and I'm not even sure if there is a peerless that can be solo'd with an archer.
Please share some opinions on if there are ways to move points to make him a better all-around character.
Here are his skills:
Archery 100 [+20 with HH]
Tactics 100
Anatomy 100
Bushido 100
Chivalry 120
Resist Spells 90
Healing 90 [+10 with bandages]
He's also an Elf.
Here's some things that I've been considering that I could use input on.
Thank you in advance for sharing your opi

Here's some things that I've been considering that I could use input on.
- Is my Bushido too high for an archer? The only ability that I use is Honoring. Is it worth lowering this to maybe 80? Or is there a significant advantage to bumping to 120 for a ranged character?
- I really like running with 120 Chiv. I have to give kudos to Duncan Drake for sharing lost of information on how valuable this is. I don't run with 4/6 or with Protection and only utilize Close Wounds out of combat. Is it worth gearing for as close to 4/6 as possible and/or running Protection to use this in addition to bandages?
- Resist is handy but I could do without it. The reason I haven't gotten rid of it is because I haven't found a suitable replacement. I'm missing the reduced mana cost of special moves by only having Bushido and Archery. Is it worth replacing Resist with fencing/swords and adding jewelry to reach 120 and getting the weapon discount? Couldn't I just use a Use Best Weapon if I need to whirlwind stuff?
- I'm not a fan of Necro/SS. I understand how great leeching in Wraith form is but 1) it doesn't work well with high chiv and 2) I don't like being unmounted. And I understand that Vampiric Embrace isn't that useful for ranged either.
- How applicable is SW to an archery template? I've noticed a handful of useful spells but since Mark of Death and Wildfire don't seem all that useful [mana too high], I might be able to get away with maybe 60. Any thoughts on this?
- How useful is Ninjitsu? It looks like the only useful ability for a PvM archer would be mirror image. How useful is this ability with mitigating damage?
