with 14 extra AB its hard to miss and with 20 from an extended truestrike which last 18 seconds equal to 3 rounds its impossible!

the build is a complex build which requires spells and archery while not capping an archers damage due to the fact the damage is coming from charisma and not strength the damage is equal to
12-14 by divine might
14 by arcane archer
1-8 by bow damage
27-36 TOTAL

this build is also VERY defensive against tanks or other archers with the bonus
4 ac by haste
12-14 from divine shield
7-9 from dexterity
50% concealment from displacement
23-27 TOTAL AC and a 50% conceal WITHOUT any armor.

the third defense is on the divine archer saving throws with an 10-12 EXTRA saving throw most spells will be at minimum effectiveness.

Thanks! Nest build but would,nt exp penalties keep this one out of regular persistant world PvP for all but the most deicated players? I used a similar build with cleric/bard/AA on DSO. Very effective against folks with immunities and the cleric buffs were a big help as well. Divine might is a sweet addition to an AA build imho. You do realise that Paladin's cannot Turn undead, and therefore, are unable to take Divine Might as a feat?

Did you mean for the build to have 4cleric, and not 4paladin? Umm... Paladins can turn undead.... Yes he took enough levels to get the paladins turning ability (which is level 3). Thats odd, I wonder why I didn't get it then.....Ill try it again.

DId he mean to take the classes in tht exact order? As I am fairly sure that there is more ab to be had wiht more AA classes b4 epic. and another AA build with Sorc/Pal/AA Um, aluka? Please stop posting in threads that have been dead for a year. If you want to mention them, that's fine, but it's generally considered extremely bad to bounce old threads back to the top of the forum for no particularly good reason. You could have just as easily posted links in the Sniper of Wisdom thread for those who were interested instead of bumping dead topics to the front at the expense of currently active ones.

Steve ok sorry, just seemed like a good idea to bring some of these old builds to light.
someone did post them, and I do believe that one of the rules for this forum was give credit where credit is due.
with so many builds floating around, many of them are bound to be similar, so i went searching in the archives to see what people did in the past. I can certainly understand your desire to give credit, which is admirable, but references and links do that job just as well, and don't lead to people coming in to see tons of seemingly new threads, only to find out they are threads from a year ago with a new post which also doesn't actually add any more meat to the original thread.

Another point is that even the oldest threads are always easy to find just by looking at the thread containing the complete list of builds, so no thread really ever gets completely lost.
