Okay have a couple of questions. One I want to take taser arrow and was wondering if taking electric form would be good. Also if not I know LR has been really nerfed recently so what passive defensive might work?

Essentally looking for a build I can solo with. I don't mind grouping with my friends but I hate it when I have to put a character on hold to wait til my buddies are on. Was also thinking of matching archery with gadgeteering since I want to go a high tech type archer.

On my archer I am Invuln SS Dex/Con and can solo most anything. Also very good in PvP if you do that as well. IDK if lightning form would do much for taser arrow or not. Definitely get the advantage to taser though you can hold people a long time when there endurance bar goes down with tap ;)

Lightning Form should enhance both Taser Arrow and Sonic Arrow, or at least so I'm told.

Cool actually decided to go con/dex and invul any other ideas guys, or must have powers.

Explosive arrow is great with advantage. Also get the range catalyst items starting at 28 I think. greatly helps. I like Minituration Drive with advantage to boost damage. With Dex as your SS grab the MA heal. Works well when it crits.

I was actually going to grab bionic shielding and toxic nanites from gadgeteering too. Also was thinking of smoke grenades from munition. So far the def powers are tazer arrow, torrent of arrows, evasive manuvers, and snap shot, it looked cool for some reason. And sence I'm con maybe resurgence as well.

Is it me, or is Snapshot missing from the Champions builder?

It is, and I think it's missing from Champedia as well.

Sonic Device is another power that benefits from Electric Form.

But here's the deal with Archer + Electric form - you need the Aversion advantage on Strafe, and you need to use your energy builder often to keep that advantage up. That's the reason powers like Sonic Device and Toxic Nanites have such good synergy with it - they work with the energy builder. They also work well with Torrent of Arrows for a terrific opener.

If you're going DEX/CON with EF (presumably with END as 3rd stat to scale the EF damage, then EGO for crits), I think you'll eventually want Invulnerability or Defiance for dual builds. There are a lot of SS options for Archery.

Odd note - you don't need DEX for Aversion (which stunned me when I found out). If you're not taking LR, which is very reasonable since it's diminishing returns with Aversion, then you're only getting crits from DEX/EGO. I think it ends up being a lot to pay, especially compared to CON+Imbue. (Though Imbue and Sonic Device share a cooldown).

After many builds I settled on all Archery attacks except Storm of Arrows, I am also skipping Evasive Manuvers and Quarry. Travel power is Acrobatics.

Best attack is Explosive Arrow, which you spam mostly. I hardly ever use Taser Arrow. Snap Arrow puts out alot of damage for not much endurance.

Block is Force Shield with Sheathe, Passive is Regen.

What works well with Archery is Sonic Device and Toxic Nanites. These attack modifiers roleplay very well with Archery plus they cover the holes in Archery of a lack of tools to adapt with.

Good advantages are "Where's the Kaboom", "Relentless Recurve", Sonic Dissonance, Aversion, Ballista Bolt (paired with Sonic Device's Deafening Dissolution is especially good).
