[QUOTE="cloaker, post: 331233, member: 1498"] I dont like OBI, the only really good thing is his Close Combat ability to keep fighting in melee, the rest is horrible (sneak attacks with bows are rare and his Bank Shot is a high level ability). I havent read the Peerless Archer yet, but I have played an Archer character to know that they do have REALLY HIGH attack bonuses and that Power Attack with a Bow is VERY DEADLY. (Can you Rapid Shot while using this Bow Power Attack ?) Deepwood Sniper seems really good, but he lacks a bonus that IMO makes the AA the best of them all, Making Magical Arrows. I believe that AA´s ability to make every arrow magical for FREE is unbeatable. Buying magical arrows or waiting for the spellcaster to cast Greater Magic Weapon is not as good as just letting the arrows fly away. Since the arrows are magical you can put money on special powers for the bow, like flaming, shocking, or in my opinion, do what I did with my AA. Make a +1 Bow of Speed and shoot one more free arrow. In high levels every monster has DR and those magical arrows count, because you hit more and you bypass DR. Seeker arrow is really cool, specialy after I read a response from the Sage as how it really works, and Phase arrow is kick ass to kill Dragons or other creatures/people with high Natural Armor and normal Armor. I believe AA wins because ANY bow and ANY arrow in his hand are deadly, while the OBI without a special bow or arrow wont do nothing. And dont forget that AA has the Death Arrow it can make at high level. IMO the best archers are Arcane Archer, then Deepwood Sniper and last OBI. (I didnt put Peerless Archer in my list, because I havent read him, but by the info on this thread I believe he would be my 1st or 2nd choice for power) [/QUOTE]
