I recently watched some videos of a guy using an interesting peace/archer treasure hunter template taking down Hoard and Trove maps solo, no Tactics or Anatomy damage bonus:

That's interesting.  I started out with a peace archer years ago and man it was fun to play.  But applying it to TMapping is something that I might need to play with.

TMapping is still one thing in the game I never got around to fiddling with.  Weird too because it's a bit of a solo thing and I do like my solo stuff.  Thanks for the heads up, 12X!

Yeah it seems that the two most popular solo tmapper templates tend to be Tamer or Mystic Mage. I can solo Cache with my bard practically in my sleep but once I jump to Hoard and land an Ancient Wyrm without anything to provoke onto it, forget it.

But I saw the "Suggestions for an archer" thread and thought that was an interesting Archer template to play around with. I do need to check out the Mystic Mage template more though, I started training Mysticism at some point but I don't even remember what shard and character anymore lol.

100 Cart
100 LP
100 Remove Trap
120 Archery
120 Music (110 real)
120 Peace (110 real)
80 Chivalry

The Peace gives the crowd control and he used GM crafted/imbued/enhanced bows. Damage output was lower but consistent with the properly aligned slayers and EOO with the crowd control letting him easily pull one target at a time.

Maybe not the fastest but seems like a fun, different T-mapper approach so I've been working on the build on Origin to try it out since my Provo/Mage mapper isn't really viable solo at the high levels anymore.

Welcome to SUO!

I use a Bush/Chiv Archer at most spawns, with great sucess. With the right suit and jewels, you can spam Holy Light and that works for me to control the mob till the third level. I'm pushing 210 stam 45/HCI all 70's plus suit (Studded) I play  most on a Cheif proxy swampy. Only spawn I have issues with is Undead, as I play a male toon.
Cheers
