I've been looking to make a new archer with good dmg, had the same classes and split in mind but very useful to see it actually written down.  I think your AB might actually be 1 higher because i don't think you are counting regular weapon focus.

P.S.  Is this much AB actually needed?  Or would you consider trading some dex for chr to improve divine might?  Any hint on where people get a dragon ring?

Good archer idea for mords. I like the idea of all the aa lvls with the improved aa feats in mod.  For gonds though pali dosen't work as well. they get blind fight  instead of cleave pre epic but Sorc replaces bard for the pali archer for -4 ac and no umd. finaly a solid edge to a bg vs pali build :laugh:

 I would consider replacing  6 dex for cha for the 12 rd duration on sheild and might and +3 saves and unstopable damage as you suggested psalmzer. The trade off is that all your attacks are -3 not just the top one so over all damage dealt would be near eaqual either route. but every one should vary their builds somewhat hey?

That much AB is required for the likes of Elrond. Although I haven't faced him in awhile so I'm not sure what his AC now.

66ab had trouble hitting Elrond with curse song and taunt so you figure out what AB is good.



AB im not definite on, currently this toon is level 24 with a top ab of 46
