Glue Arrow: Too many slows imo. Keep in mind that you'll use Spectral Terror quite often which should be enough to keep foes in Glue radius. I'd go with 3Rech1Slow

Acid Arrow: IIRC the 3rd DefDebuff only adds like 1%DefDebuff. You'd be better off with a recharge in there. (Actually, I love AA way too much - I'd add a 6th slot and place yet another Rech)

Spectral Terror: Swap an EndRed for Recharge. TA really is light on END. Since you got Stamina, you shouldn't be concerned about EndReds that much.

Note that I'm no expert on TA side. These are the toughts of a L19 Archer only

This is more or less what I'd go with myself.

I don't think I need to post my 'initial' build, given the two above. What I would say to comment on them however is:

1. The earlier you can take ice arrow the better.
2. For PvE (and I do the same of PvP, for good or bad) I feel 2 endredx in glue is ok (and that is for someone who doesn't have hasten)
3. You don't need hasten (but again, this is from someone who avoids hasten unless he needs SS)

Otherwise, on a micro scale, I would take blind before spectral wounds, and superior invis at 8, especially if you go to the hollows. Combat hover will always be a thing for when you have slots to spare. (Again, good choice with combat hover. It will see you good!)

Ill/TA in my opinion is a relatively easy build to lvl and an awesome one to perfect.

About the PPP, I'd go Primal. With Conserve Power, you can easily skip Stamina (just grab a few IOs and try to get +15-20%EndRec). Oh, and Power Boost + EMP Arrow is a beauty.

Hmm. Not much to add, mostly since I've been pretty laid back about my Ill/Ta and taken whatever powers sound cool at the time. In the 20's just now and it's a very enjoyable combo which is fairly powerful :O)

Well, I'm actually starting to turn more to tech side on the story of this character so primal forces would suit it better in that regard. I'll have a look at the build I have in my herobuilder currently and swap psionic mastery for force mastery once I get home.

I want to have hasten in my build to help with the recharge of glue arrow, EMP arrow (which will be my AoE hold; it's ranged so I deem it better than flash. Also I'm quite sure it doesnt have the degraded acc of other AoE holds), PA and other debuff arrows. Stacking holds should also be easier with hasten available.

Also, for any of you who are wondering, I'm not going to PvP with this build

Looks great. About EMP Arrow, you can play with the slots later on. If you use Power Boost before EMP Arrow, 1 Hold should be enough to hold the mobs for quite a while. That leaves you one spare slot for yet another Recharge or even an EndMod (not sure if it will drain the whole End tho - maybe minions only).

Just as an aside. Had my PA out with oil slick arrow today and they were happy as larry standing and fighting in the middle of it flaming away. Not sure about phantasm, but he never goes near the oil slick anyway.
