Luminara's "Codex" on Archery is the first (and maybe only) place I'd look...

Aside from being the most exaustive guide on the set, it was probably the biggest push towards debunking the myth about redraw, that is that redrawing the bow adds to your activation times so you shouldn't mix TA with other sets.

TA is a very late blooming set. I have a 50 that is a blast, especially with the new changes and the fix to Oil Slick.

Just scroll down for the TA/A guides.
Never look in just one place.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
Luminara's guide is the one I keep coming back to. Definately one of the best.

The problem is the other guides listed there are (a) not a guide, (b) outdated information easily accessible in game now, and (c) an outdated wall of text with many inaccuracies.|

By all means, give them a read, but with any discrepancies go with Luminara's most recent guide.
Actually, if you're new to the game at all I would say just skip them.

If a) is not a guide then whoever puts the guides in the guide section must have a broad idea on what a guide should be. I'd look at the build for anything that might take my fancy.

There's a world of difference between slapping a Mids' export in a post and telling people "This works for me", or copying City of Data entries and power descriptions, and a real guide for a powerset or combination of powersets. A guide discusses how the powers work, what they do and how they can be and are used, slotting options, tips and tactics and a conveyance of knowledge and experience from spending time playing and learning the set as thoroughly as possible.|

Many players who write "guides"... don't. They share their builds and invite (or dissuade) discussion. A significant number of guides, primarily older ones, are little more than lists of available powers with copies of the in-game descriptions, frequently inaccurate or erroneous guesses on what the powers do and random suggestions which don't actually guide the player to do anything more than copy a specific build and play in a specific way.
Regurgitating existing information from other sources, with little or no commentary or observation, or plunking down a build and telling the reader that it's what you play, and then getting it listed as a guide doesn't actually make it a guide, any more than painting an elephant black and white and calling it a zebra actually makes it a zebra.

Even mine aren't entirely accurate now. Between the mangling done in the forum migration and the changes to the game over the last couple of years, my guides are sorely in need of revamps.|
