I'm no math whiz but I imagine the time it takes to get a character to 50, once added up, would be astounding to those of us that try not to think about it

Archery is awesome.
That is all.

Nice necropost, Mac. I made my archer way back when specifically BECAUSE archery was thought of as 'gimp' and almost never seen once the new shiny wore off. (What better way to prove that Defiance 1.0 could be freakin' AWESOME than to use one of the most maligned sets to do it with?)
It's funny how things evolve sometimes. Just look at I15 Energy Assault...
Rule number six of an empathy defender is NEVER underestimate a blaster's ability to die. I don't care if he has CM, Fort, both RAs, bubbles (both FF and Sonic), and is fighting next to a Storm defender with hurricane on. If there is a way to die in that situation, the blaster will find it.

O.o wait a second is this some fourm necromancey....
There is but one truth. Time is limited. ndnw its over
I don't know what Archery you guy are playing but the kind I am is one of the best sets i've tried I can wipe out over half a mob with just 3 attacks and BU+aim, the "nuke" can be fired from behind cover and is crashless, the nuke comes back in just 60 seconds as oposed to the 4 minutes of the other nukes. If I build up, aim, RoA, explosive arrow and fistful of arrows all the minions most of the Lts will be dead and the bosses will be screaming "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO ALL MY MINIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'
Maybe you missed the part where this thread is 4 years old...
Yeah - rain of arrows, rain of fire - what's the difference? 
More villain than hero these days
My highest archery blaster is level 32.
The character is archery/psi.
I like the archery set. I have no problems progressing with the character.
I'm not worried about number crunching. The character is fun to play and I don't feel I'm having any more difficulty playing the set any more than any other set.
played up a Archery/Ice Blaster to 34 before I deleted her, I simply got bored for whatever reason.
simply Rain of Arrows is probably one of the greatest nukes in the game and just like Blizzard, can be fired around a corner, out of line of sight. But unlike other nukes (besides Full Auto) it doesn't have a end crash and has a relatively short recharge (like Full Auto) as well.
BU -> Aim -> RoA -> FFoA *spawn is decimated*

Some people just can't handle the shear awesomeness that is Archery, you should be fortunate you became bored with it. People's heads have been known to implode at the sight of Rain of Arrows' full potential.

Whoa well I have no desire to read through 13+ pages to see if anyone had anything nice to say so 'll add this.
I have taken an Arch/Ice to 50 level and was able to team and solo effectively all the way up. Archery has the best accuracy of any blaster set I have tried and it's version of a Nuke (Rain of Arrows) has the advantage of not leaving the player drained of end and unable to attack at all for a while. I actually lead off with Rain of Arrows on larger teams to ensure maximum damage before the mob starts to scatter. Follow that up with Exploding arrow and I've hit a mob with 2 AoE attack before they can think. I have several other Archery blasters now in the 30s and 40s. All of them can solo or team so I am not sure how they are the "weakest" powerset.
Now Secondaries I shy away from DEv because it just doesn't fit the concept but I use Ice and Mental Manipulation and both offer good holds/Immobs and some added attacks. This is about Arch but just let me add that since I tried MM I love it and it's the first secondary powerset I have found myself using an relying on as much as my primary.

�Those women are prostitutes? You said they were raising money for stem cell research!� � Sheldon
I accept the trade-off of no secondary effect for the accuracy boost. After playing Archery Blast for 26 levels I will say it is a little weak because of it's two primary attacks and Fistful of Arrows needs higher base accuracy, maybe 1.27 or 1.39. Snap Shot and Aimed Arrow seem like variations of Neutrino Bolt and X-Ray Beam except that draw times cause significantly longer attack cycles, so boost the damage of Aimed and Snap Shot slightly to bring it in line with other Blaster powersets while keeping Archery Blast mostly the same as it is.
Archery Blast is weaker, not by much, but it is. And don't forget that the draw times are eating up the up-time for Build Up and Aim. For instance, my Electric Blaster can get through 4 to 5 heavier damage attacks while the Archery Blaster does 2 weak and one heavy. The failing however, is in Snap Shot and Aimed Arrow being so weak.
Ranged Shot also has an Activation Lag Bug that runs on 2-3 seconds after the shot is fired. Some call this a "Cool-Down", but there is no such thing in CoH attack cycling.
