Post Ravenloft GearSet Redo: Archer / Monkcher

[Kodwraith]

Now that I've solved my problem for my melee Monk, I'm working on a gear set for my Monkcher.

I run an Elf AA build that's somehwere between the Acid Arrow and WhiteFeather paralyzer builds, so I want DEX/CON/WIS and +Enchant.

Here's my first pass. Note that for a Pure Ranger (or FVS or whatever) the gear layout is the same, just modify the armor type.

Xanxibar Gear Layout:
Silver Avenger:
Armor: Disciple of Dawn (PRR/Profane/Fort/Parrying)
Belt: Braided Cutcord (Dex / Blurry / Qual Dex / Qual Dodge)
Cloak: Shadowhail Cloak (Ghostly / Deception)

Adherent:
Gloves: Crumbling (Ins Dex)
Necklace: Kindred Pendant (CHA / Enchant / INS Enchant)
Boots: ShadowStep (Dex / Doubleshot / Ins Dodge)
Ring A: Nightfall (Ins Deadly, Ins Int)
Ring B: Pinnacle (Deadly)

Other Stuff:
Helm: Executioner’s (Seeker / Ins Deception)
Goggles: CC: WIS / Accuracy / Insightful Wis.
Quiver: Blunt ammo quiver
Wrist: Slaver’s or CC: CON / Resistance / Sheltering (for MRR)
Trinket: CC: Dodge / Armor-Piercing / Ins accuracy

The main issue with this layout is it has no Speed or INS Con. I can almost but not quite hit my dodge cap (37 in Water stance) without the Dodge trinket slot but I still need speed.
We can loose Armor Piercing from the middle Trinket slot and slot striding. Or burn a feat (ick). Or use the Celerity filigree (only really works on one weapon).

The other main option is to ditch the Adherent set rings and gloves (and bonuses) for Prowess/Chieftan/CC Gloves. This gives only 2 less MP but is way easier to slot things.

Something like:

Silver Avenger:
Armor: Disciple of Dawn (PRR/Profane/Fort/Parrying)
Belt: Braided Cutcord (Dex / Blurry / Qual Dex / Qual Dodge)
Cloak: Shadowhail Cloak (Ghostly / Deception)

Adherent:
Necklace: Kindred Pendant (CHA / Enchant / INS Enchant)
Boots: ShadowStep (Dex / Doubleshot / Ins Dodge)

Other Stuff:
Helm: Executioner’s (Seeker / Ins Deception)
Goggles: CC: WIS / Ranged Alacrity / Insightful Wis (socket Striding)
Gloves: CC: Corrosion / Armor-Piercing / Ins DEX
Wrist: Slaver’s CON / Resistance/ UMD / Qual Con or CC: CON / Resistance / Sheltering (for MRR)
Ring A: Prowess (Deadly/Accuracy/RP/MP)
Ring B: Insightful Commands (Ins Accuracy/ +2 Profane / Qual Deadly) OR Nightfall (Ins Deadly)
Trinket: Slaver's (Ins Con / TS / Lesser Displace)
Quiver: Blunt ammo quiver (which is not, alas part of the Adherent set).

It looks like I can hit my dodge cap (39) with just Water stance, Ins Dodge / Qual Dodge and enhancements from Ninja Spy.

That frees up the trinket slot a bit.

As a pure speculative exercise, I think in the far future if I get enough Ravenloft raid gear I was looking at the Van Richten's goggle and the Ravenkind trinket.

Avenger Set:
Armor: Disciple of Dawn (PRR/Profane/Fort/Parrying) SilentAvenger
Belt: Braided Cutcord (SilentAvenger) Dex / Blurry / Qual Dex / Qual Dodge
Cloak: Shadowhail Cloak (Silent Avenger) Ghostly / Deception

Adherents Set:
Goggles: Van Richten’s Goggles (DEX / Nat Armor / DS)
Gloves: Crumbling Gloves (Ins DEX)
Trinket: Icon of Ravenkind (CON / TS)
Necklace: Kindred Pendant (Adherent) CHA / Enchant / INS Enchant.
Boots: ShadowStep (Dex / Doubleshot / Ins Dodge)

Other:
Helm: Executioner's
Ring B: Leg Prowess
Quiver: Blunt ammo quiver

This would leave WIS, Resistance, Speed as the main things I need.
Ring A: Slaver's: ??? / Resistance / ??? / Qual Con (Anything of resistance is fine here)
Wrist: Slaver's: WIS / Armor Piercing / UMD / Qual WIS

I would need to burn a feat for Blinding Speed, but next life will be human, so I've got that going for me which is nice.

Are other archers finding the adherent set just not worth it?

This seems a lot of contortion for 10 Ranged Power and some Healing Amp. It looses 3 Enchant DC for paralyzers over the non adherent setup from missing Ins WIS. It's also missing Ins Accuracy, which is a big deal if you don't have Completionist / PL feats, etc. The other option would be the Raid WIS necklace, then move the +Enchant DC boost over to the slaver's gear (Spell focus) and rings (spinnaret).
