my archer. need help.

[RazicGL]

Hi there, been playing on and off for many years and started an archer a while ago. Currently working towards the following.

120
Archery
Tactics
Anat
Healing
Chiv
Spellweave

Itseems like a fairly solid template and I am enjoying it but don't know what to do with regards to what bows to use as my damage output seems a bit low. I been using magic short bow as I got SSI and Stam enough to not need ssi on now but I am finding for levels 1/2 of spawn I kicking azz then much higher it gets a bit hairy. Thinking that a company bow may be better but not sure what mods to go for. What do you guys have on your bows???

Composite bow and 211 stamina is like a machine gun.

Damage increase
Mana leech
SSI
Balanced
Hit spell, HLD or HLA or slayer

That's how I roll.

 

[TimberWolf]

I run

Slayer
50 Hit area effect
30 SSI
37 HML
50 DI

I have 30 ssi on my suit as well...Composite 100% elemental damage bows...even with 180 stam...Soloing most spawns isnt an issue

 

[RazicGL]

Excellent, so with 190.Stan and 30on my suit 30 on bow will max me out. Slayer, hit area and ml ssi and di just what I looking for on spawn ( except rats) will run hit spell and use vermin slayer. Is the slayer on your list a super? Also for such as anvasion baddies would you drop slayer and add on HLA or something??

Is it worth making a bunch with all the hearteood kitsI got? Lol.

I dont see much other use for the Heartwood kits, so why not? Just reforge for the max 6 charges, pick a name or two if ya want and hope for the best
May get a nice 7 property bow outta the deal..

I would not use a template like that at all for spawns.
You have 0 survivability(pvp wise), and mana will be a problem(only 120 combat points, so no mana reduction).
Spellweaving really issent a great skill on a archery, because you most likely will have 0 fc, 0 fcr. and the spellweaver spells cost alot of mana.
On my archer i use magical shortbows with great success. Slayer + Hit area effect is the key here.

I roll with something like
120 archery
120 resist
100 tact
100 ana
100 heal
100 ninjitsu
080 chiv.

The template offers decent damage output, and great survivability.

 

[RazicGL]

PvP wise I not done overly bad, and I got 4/2 fcr fc. Only did I can see on yours is swapping out ninjitsu and adding resist at the expense of losing 120 on other skills. I though tactics / Anat / Chiv / archery counted towards mana reduction. I never have mana issues really and with regards to PvP I have a 90+damage absorb plus gift of Renew which I back up with bandied and pots. Works well for me. Was more about bows really but I'll consider what you mentioned.

Thanks for the feedback

like a 16 year noob question but why ninjitsu?? only iam raising a archer skill to gm at present to try make a archer template
from what i can read for solo peerless and maybe event bosses a paladin archer is best
120 arch
120 resist?
100 tacts
100 ana
100 heal
leaves 180 for chiv and.... and....

iam told composite bows with slayer tags are best yes??

You can add almost 100 skill points on jewels, talisman, quiver.

 

[TimberWolf]

You can add almost 100 skill points on jewels, talisman, quiver.

I think the most I have seen was around 125 skill points.

45 skills points per jewels, 20 from mark of travesty, 10 from talisman, and 5 from a quiver.

my first tamer years ago had a build that utilized most of these things
