Hey,

I'm returned after a few years out and want to make an archer.

Can you let me know what the best template currently is for an archer? Just PvM

Thanks guys

The best templates are:

1. ABC archer
Archery 120
Bushido 120
Chivalry 120
Tactics 120
Anatomy 120
Healing 120
Ninzja 60 (just for mana cost reduction)

2. Melee archer
Archery 120
Bushido 90
Swords 120
Chivalry 120
Tactics 120
Anatomy 120
Healing 120

Both templates require 780 total skills. If you new player and can't afford such suit then you can drop Tactics/Anatomy/Healing to 110 (750 total skill points).

Yes.
Really 5 less for ABC archer if you use Despicable Quiver.
And 10 less for any template if you use new clean up talisman: 10 tactics or anatomy, 5 HCI, 20 DI.

You should use DF to get 15 SSI, 15 HCI, 20 DI. You should reinforce your armor for +5 phys/fire/energy caps.
In this case you have enough room for skills on your jewels.
I also advice to use one woodland piece with 10 DI in your suit. Although you can do well without it.

ABC archer just slightly better (120 vs 90 bushido) when you use ranged attack.
Meleee archer very often can switch to his Double Axe and do the work much faster. (champion spawns, some peerless bosses, and so on)
