Arcane Archer (3Monk/5Wiz/12Fighter)

[Noyabrina]

Target - high damage with using longbow. Evasion. Haste and Displacement. Blur and Heroism for 10 min (Extend). Flame Arrows. Thinking about 3-rd lvl of monk, may be 6-th lvl of wizard will be better? Does it necessary to get Precise Shot and Improved Precise Shot?

May be that was monster, but next build looks better.... Exept wizard's buffs . Flame Arrows and Haste are very pretty.

As far as i can see vs. your 2nd build, I've traded off some skillpoints & a touch of AC for more general damage-dealing & melee DPS capability.

[AylinIsAwesome]

I wouldn't splash more than 2 non-Fighter levels.

The extra critical range from Kensei 3 is a pretty large boost to DPS.

Also with the extra feats you can build in a THF or TWF mode for when Ranged would not be a good choice.

[Noyabrina]

Is it possible to become both Elven AA and Deepwood Sniper??? Elven AA is not class prestige, so isn't equal to Ranger AA. My monstrous Monk-Ranger-Fighter has "figter kensai 2", "elven arcane archer". Can I take Deepwood Sniper too? My DDO Character Planner answer me: No. But without any description.

[unbongwah]

Is it possible to become both Elven AA and Deepwood Sniper???

No - AA always counts as your ranger PrE, even if you take the elven line. Otherwise I imagine we'd be seeing AA / Tempest builds out the wazoo by now. :-)

For a different option, I present my fighter 2 / ranger 2 / bard 16 AA build. No Evasion or Flame Arrow and you give up Kensai II; but your buff spells would last a lot longer, you'd have bard songs for extra buffing or a bit of CC, max UMD, healing via spells & wands, all of the archery feats. Makes for a better support character while doing pretty good ranged DPS, IMHO. You can also do, say, rogue 2 / ranger 2 / bard 16: give up two feats and a point of BAB, gain Evasion and rogue skills.
