Beor archer

[taptap]

Trying to make a stealthy archer out of this ... now that I finally found a bow. Exchange places was a desperate survival pick. All the Beor winners seem melee or stealth only. Only one by wobbly is something of an archer. What would you do?

I'm pretty sure a 0000 edain could win as a dedicated archer. It seems like a decent plan.

If you say so... I am happy if I manage as is. Sounds like a competition char though.

Current state of the Beor archer. I am running around scared most of the time. Not comfortable with Sulraukos, Shadows etc.

I'd offer advice but mine I built as a sneak/avoider 1st & bow 2nd. It's easier to shoot things when you simply don't have to. You seem to be doing well anyway, good luck.
