Advice on this archer based on Debo's stealth archer

I am about to go to 400ft and I am very nervous, I almost died at 300, I was chased by orcs into a dead end room, they started flooding in, I danced around them down a stairs outside of that room and ended at 350 at >10 hp, I had to leave a four use forge after me though so that stung

Too late, I fucking died

[debo]

Smithing on this build is really not worth in 1.3. I would just run with stealth and archery in the early game, and maybe versatility and a bit of evasion if you really need it.

Thank you.
