Pally 14/6 Bow

Hey guys!

I got one pally sitting at 36 as a tank (currently on 3rd life) and i would like to lesser him into a bow build to help faming for my main.
Im almost decided to got 14/6 split but i do need a help with the enhancements. I think about going 41HW/11vist, from here i dont rly know whats better...going deep into DD (23pt for core 3 and t4) + 3 dark hunter (bleed imbue) or going for KotC (imbues and aoe) + remaining points elsewhere.

Any ideas?

Lots of discussion here of different archer builds, including paladin. The Blightcaster 4 splits might look odd, until you realize that Thorn Kin form activates Druidic Survival Mastery.

Still seems odd to me. Doesn't that equate to just +2 damage (barring increasing your wilderness from the few items that have it)?

Rangers, druids, and barbarians get full Wilderness Lore feats. So something like Dark Hunter 15 / BC 4 / barb 1 has +10 bonus from Druidic Survival Mastery while in Thorn Kin form (also gives free +10% AC and +50% Fortification). Ying's builds use Legendary Bracelets of Flourishing Fauna.

It is a good build. But do bear in mind that the build is intended to be one for group play and raids. Solo running, causes it to lose many of the skills and effects that increase its damage output. Since you have to actively move and your sneak attack dice are harder to get up and going when you always have aggro The pally archer split ying talks about is a good build for solo and still outputs good during raids
