Notes from author
A dedicated archer: only bows and crossbows are allowed. Self-buff spells are permitted, notably Power Within and Flash Sweat, but no damaging spells are ever allowed.
Future levels can be put into Vitality or finishing out Endurance. The armor was chosen mostly for looks; a better light set that requires END 42 would be Mask of the Mother, Sage Robe, Brigand Gauntlets, and Crimson Waistcloth.
This character primarily uses the Composite Bow, which has the highest DPS of all bows. Also uses a Black Bow of Pharis +15 at long ranges.
Ring selection depends on the situation - alternate rings include the Hawk Ring, Slumbering Dragoncrest, Lingering Dragoncrest, and Dark Wood Grain. The Ring of Fog makes it easy to fight enemies one-on-one; multi-enemy fights are especially difficult for an archer.
