Hehe, you know, I used Aegar's hide throughout SOA and partway through ToB. Never heard me complaining. But there's better to be had, especially if you wield Lilarcor, which is when you can get chesy and simply swap your bow for that sword for a second. Anything from the Night's Gift +5 through the Armour of Thorns +6 to the Shadow Dragon Armour (and that of the White Dragon).
As for the proficiencies and bows, that really does depend on what you prefer. Personally, I didn't think the Gesen shortbow was much good because of it's low RoF. I chose longbow instead, just because an Archer with a shortbow where he could have a composite longbow is not a real archer to me. Same goes for those with crossbows, but 5 stars in the x-bow section is actually pretty cool too. Especially when you get to ToB...

Just wondering, can an archer actually wear Gandmaster's armour?


And in answer to the last question, we had a debate about that some time ago, and came to the not-so-unanimous conclusion that the fighter was only a bit worse, and better in combat, but that the archer had small advantages in other ways. But, any mage could beat them both... right.

For me, the answer would be that it doesn't matter which one's better. The Archer is the archer, so if you want to shoot, take that one. But that's the roleplayer in me [img]smile.gif[/img]
