AA Artificier help

[jebyfire]

i saw that the AA prerequise we got energy of creation .. so an idea came to my mind

AA artificier taking advantage of artificier buffs on bow (not talking about insightfull damage) for more deadly damage along with manyshot and when manyshot is down we take endless fusillade on the great crossbow or repeater ... not sure about this one guys but dont see any discussion about it thanks for replying

All the AA enhancements improve bow DPS.

All the artificer enhancements improve repeating xbows DPS.

Not a good mix imo.

A ranger AA will be better with bows. A repeater focused artificer will be better with repeaters.

Having said that, you might end up with a versatile and fun-to-play character. Just remember that the most important feat for bows is bow strenght ;)

Elemental Weapons is the only artificer buff I can think of which affects bows. Well, I guess you can also use the metal spells (cold iron etc.); but since you can only have one arty enchantment at a time, it makes more sense to buy stacks of Deneith arrows / bolts of the right metal, IMHO. Did you have a build in mind?

[jebyfire]

not yet writed a build but was thinking of that

taking advantage of the deadly weapon spell with both bow and xbow with the speed armor spell with insightful damage for xbow and a lil lack of dmg from strengh from bow was thinking to craft an vicious of bleeding weapon for the bow. not sure if someone want to build around this let's go ! ^^ I'll check that today ^^ the goal is to stay pure

and of course the rune arm imbue power !

Can anyone confirm that Artificer Energy of Creation I qualifies for AA? The builder & DDO wiki say no, but the Compendium says yes. I had to trick the builder to make it work; I actually took MT @ lvl 6, but edited to be Empower.

Yes I check it before doing in my 2ranger/4 artie build (alter). Meaning that it is allowed last time I checked
