I'm toying with reworking my template to more closely match the ABC Archer template Connor recommends above. I'm building my archer for Doom. Here's my current ABC Archer Template (actual skill in parenthesis).
120 Archery (91.1)
120 Bushido (105.1)
120 Tactics (104.3)
120 Resisting Spells (115.0)
100 Necromancy (100.0)
80 Chivalry (80.0)
60 Anatomy (75.0)
As you can see its a cross between a Sampire and a traditional ABC Archer with tweaks. The problem is I'm not leeching enough mana with a mana-leech bow to keep me going, probably because my damage output is too low. My character is a human. So I'm thinking of doing the following:
- Switch to Elf for extra 20 mana
- Lower Resisting Spells to 90
- Put extra 30 points into Anatomy
- Get a real bow with high mana leech and fit 100% DI into the weapon/suit
Then the only significant difference then between this template and Connor's is healing vs necro. My play-style is fairly conservative and damage adverse. Provided I can boost my damage output, I think I'll be ok. Why is healing preferred over Vamp Embrace for an ABC Archer? I'm sure I'll find better results as my archery improves, but I'd definitely take any recommendations for the experts in this forum.
Thanks!
