I took Flight on my level 21 Archery/EM Blaster.
I'm going for a pretty much pure ranged build, so Hover and flight are very useful for getting room to work.
I've got all the primary powers I could take so far, apart from Exmplosive arrow, and I will probbaly end up with all of them.
From the secondary, I'm skipping most of the blapping stuff and going for utility powers. Power Boost, Aim, Stunning Shot should be amusing [img]/uk/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
And Aim, Buildup, Ranged Shot, Blazing Arrow can two shot even level Lieutenants, on DO's [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
But frankly, my build philosophy is : Take whatever power looks shiniest when you're training. But don't forget to plan ahead if you want travel powers or Stamina etc.
One thing to bear in mind with archery. Use Build Up, THEN Aim, as Aim draws your bow for you automatically, and Build Up doesn't.

I took Flight on my level 32 Archery/EM blaster. It rocks at early levels, then takes a dip, and as soon as you hit 32... WOW. My teams love me. I can, with the aid of another AoE, and BU+Aim, kill all minions, and lieuts sometimes, depending on their res. Rain of Arrows. [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] For me, best power.
I am anticipating Boost Range at 35, so that I can be a far ranged blaster, but I also have bone smasher, is GREAT for a single target chain, good damage, Energy Punch I have been considering to fill my ST chain, but to be honest, I've really been using an un-optimised ST chain. Remember, Aimed shot does in fact do OK damage. Sometimes it feels blazing arrow's my only good ST blast, but I forget about Aimed. It does suck against stuff with high lethal res though. But all the more reason to take the blaps! [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
I don't have stunning shot at the moment, will consider respeccing my SS, which I took for no good reason, for that or energy punch which, in all honesty, I probably won't need with total focus at 38.
i have tryed making a archery/device but i dont feel so much fun about device , but i've been playing with a friend using energy manipulation and it looks pretty good , with build up+aim he gave 156 with blazing and 140 with a energy hit in lvl 15 ,
so i wanted to make a archery/energy manipulation but im not sure what to go for , should i take snap shot ? what travel power ? should i go for hasten ?,
im aiming to be good all around
i have tought about sj for travel becuase in pvp i have seen another archery use it and it was pretty good to jump around those melee brutes and shoot'em down . .
im a noob so i really need help
