If you plan to use that build for PvP *and* farming its going to do pretty poorly at both of them.

It will be able to farm as well as that video I posted above. I'm not sure Archery/Energy is ever going to be good at PvP. That's a dog that doesn't hunt for me though. I just don't know anything about PvP.

A couple notes on the build:
Replace the Damage/Range enhancement in RoA and Explosive Arrow and put a Recharge in them. The Recharge on Positron's Blast itself is low and you want those puppies up all the time.

I believe the Panacea proc is very expensive. More than it would be worth in a build like this.

You're going to have to be really picky about when to Power Boost, because it's a HUGE difference in your survivability whether it's up or down.

Unless you're planning to farm something you know uses a lot of holds, I wouldn't take Acrobatics.

Replace Trap of the Hunter with Enfeebled to put you at soft capped S/L when PowerBoost is up.

I would probably move some of those slots (3 to be exact) from Stamina into Boxing and mule another Kinetic Combat.

Actually with those last two changes you'll be close enough you may want to "go for it." Take slots from BU to Brawl for another Kinetic Combat. Then another one in Jump Kick and you'd be softcapped on S/L all the time.

The only big real problem I see is you don't have Snap and Aimed shot. Those puppies are nice for when you DO get mezed. I'd probably give up Conserve Power and the slots in Tough for that (besides the +def proc).

You have what I would call tooo much KB protection haha.

Anyway, aside from the last bit about swapping out Conserve Power it would look like this:
Oh, and I left Acrobatics in but took SJ out.

If you miss some of the recharge, consider swapping the Thunderstrikes for Entropic Chaos or Decimation.

Sure thing. Hopefully it works out. That's the kind of thing the forums are for. Unfortunately, there are a lot of trolls who will just say a build's "not very effective" or "won't perform" or some other vague bug negative judgment and then give no explanation. You just have to ignore them.

I farmed for a long time with my arch/mm and loved it.
I could either go all ranged with BU+AIM+RoA+FFA+EA+PS and had no problems, or I could go in melee range stealthed and pop Drain Psyche right after RoA and be at 75hp/sec+ regen before they agroed and then continue to PBAoE.

Honestly though, best I was able to farm was maybe some +3/8, and that was sometimes iffy, +2/8 was the fastest/safest. My scrappers and brutes can do +4/8 almost as quickly now so I don't tend to use my blaster for farming much anymore.
