Man the throne room is pretty intense! This is a stealth archer character who did real well all the way down, the only problem was a lack of forges, I wanted to make myself something nice but ran out of time. Since entering the throne room he has branched out into melee a little for the coup de grace when necessary.

Why not wield 'Aranruth'?

I was wielding it until about 950' when I found Narsil, I decided I liked having double resist to everything since I was pretty nervous about the throne room. I think it's probably better to switch bak for the extra melee and evasion since I am able to pick my battles pretty well.

Im wondering how you're going to get the silmarils out of V's crown with this setup...

Oops! Just saw you have song of sharpness. Man you worked on a lot of different skill trees!

Song of Sharpness is pretty awesome for an archer. =Wrath to get everyone chasing you down a corridor in a single straight line, then start singing, and see how many baddies each arrow can pierce...

Nice. Amazingly I haven't tried that. Archers are really neat. I'm surprised more people don't try them. I think they are used to bad archery interfaces, but Sil's is really quite simple.

Archers are fun. Song becomes even more useful, since light and distance are important. I haven't played many past 500', though -- another character always seems to take priority :)

Woohoo!! I won! I spent quite a bit of time in the throne room shooting a few monsters and then hiding while they all forgot I was there. Only took me a couple shots to knock off the crown, then I ran off and waited for Morgy to go unwary. I was a little worried how to get a silmaril out but fortunately it tells you how. The first one came out no problem, I tried a couple more times but got nothing and decided not to be greedy.
The trip up was very easy, I had found a staff of revelations in the throne room and was able to recharge it and found another on the way up. Every level to about 250' was revealed and I just went straight for the upstairs. Anything that got in my way I just Exchanged Places with and kept going. I saved my last charge of revelations for the gates. I did stop at one point and create my artifact, a nice helm with Lore-Master.
I could have finished faster but decided to kill the Troll Guard instead of running past them.

My thoughts on Archers, I ran into a lot of monsters that were resistant to criticals and resisted poison so you need some other way to add damage. Flaming Arrows would work but I didn't want to risk running out of arrows. I could probably have used Rapid Shot as well but I didn't like the idea of sacrificing three dex, str. That's why I got Song of Sharpness and that seemed to work well enough. Vanish is super-powerful with an archer since you can stand next to a corner or pillar and disappear quickly if needed. I would say the raw damage is probably not as high as melee but it's easier to hit things so it's more consistent and it's much safer.

Great job!

How did you deal with line-of-sight problems in the late game? I find that most rooms are dark once you get beyond a certain depth, which makes things a bit nervous for archers even if you have 3+ light radius.

On 14.6.2012 22:59 half wrote:
Congratulations! I haven't ever tried a Vanish archer (or an Elbereth archer since the launch). I probably should! Like debo, I'd like to know if you had trouble with light.

If you get Rapid Shot *and* Flaming Arrows, and use {special} arrows, you end up doing a lot of damage -- more than melee in my experience. That said, you also literally burn through your arrow supply.

On 15.6.2012 00:10 Jungle_Boy wrote:
I actually did not notice any problems at all with light issues. I think there were a couple reasons for this. Keen senses effectively gives me an extra light radius and listen increases that even farther. The big thing though was a longbow of radiance, after the first shot the target was plain as day. I would sometimes go into the corner of a dark room, sing sharpness and wait for listen to show me a target then hit it with focused attack, cripple it and finish it off before it moved more than a couple squares.
As for the damage thing, I got to thinking about that some more as I plan my next character and I think Rapid shotting flaming poisoned arrows while singing sharpness could be some SERIOUS damage, especially with a dragonhorn longbow.
Now I can't decide if I want to streamline my next character and just take away the stuff I didn't use this time or expand him and try for some big damage.

Congratulations on the win, and a cool build -- I agree that stealth feels a natural fit for an archer, but I haven't experimented with it much.

Nice work! Archery can dish big, big damage. This was my smithing-enhanced archer: http://angband.oook.cz/ladder-show.php?id=12842

Reading your description there sounds like exactly the type of heroic archer that we were trying to encourage. Indeed your paragraph there sounds like a mini advertisement for Sil!

It seems that Listen makes the big difference with vision, and now that I think about it, I usually get Listen with my archers too. It gives them more effective range, so more time to kill enemies before they close in, and it also helps to know if you are about to be surrounded or to encounter monsters you can't handle. An archer really needs both these things, and will also want Keen Senses, so Listen seems a bit of a must have. I don't see a problem with that though.

@Psi - Yea, I was looking through the archery winners and found that char, pretty impressive. It looks like there are only 4-5 pure archery winners on the ladder so it's pretty uncommon but I think it is a good build and can be done much better than I did it without going all Psi on it :)

@half - I think Listen helped but I am not positive it's absolutely necessary, keen senses I feel is a must have for all my characters though.
