Hi at all :)

At this moment I have this Archer

100/100/25

Archery 100
Tactics 100
Healing 100
Anatomy 100
Music 100
Provocation 100 (will be 120)

There is a Talisman that incrase the Archer power or the best Template for Talisman is Fencer-Dexxter?

Regards

From the Wiki:
the talisman cannot be equipped by any character with greater than 50 musicianship or greater than 50 taming.

ya you have a provo archer here which can't use talismans. your most likely setup for a dexxer talisman archer would be
Archery/Tactics/Anatomy/Healing/Resist/Hiding 50/50 magery meditation (magery/meditation/hiding all optional. you can use poison too if you want to use the extra boost from that)

I'm so sorry, now reading again my post in not clear, my question is: exist a Talisman that incrase the power of a PVM Archer so much that is profitable to use it renouncing to Music+Provo.

Resuming I want to use a PVM Archer but i have Provo in a lot of char so if exist a Talism for Archer I consider to leave Provo.

EDIT:

For example an Archer that maximaze the Damage is..

Archery
Tactics
Healing
Anatomy
Resp Spell

and the other two? What talisman i need to equip?

Regards :)

Zerker gives a damage boost but you need to be within 5 tiles for any of the relics to proc, except phase shift. Phase shift I am not sure you would want on an archer since it teleports you to the target(s).

I was considering going to a defense talisman for an archer but I would probably need to start him at a melee dexer first to level it up since you get a XP gain penalty for having less then 100 ar.

theres also the poison relic which is good. now i don't know if its more profitable than a provo archer. but you would be getting higher scores in champs and events

you'd definitely have to be moving a lot more on your archer when the targets are going to be chasing you the whole time. THats why I was thinking going high defense. You can lower the agro rate, leech HP when you do get hit, negate fireballs, and block poison. Even after all that I am not sure if it will be better for farming then a provo archer.

So a PVM Archer must be maded with Music+Provo? There's no chance to made a full damage-oriented archer? I think not without Talisman btut there is not an Archer Talisman.

Thanks and regards!

No. The talisman adds mega damage to your archery, so it's definitely the way to go. Problem is you take an experience penalty the further you are from the target. Therefore, you probably want to use a melee skill to work your talisman up, cuz if you try to do it with archery it's gonna take five times as long. Once your talisman is completely leveled though, you'll have a hella powerful archer.

Personally I like to use both melee and archery, the combination is useful in different circumstances. Like when you need to distance yourself cuz your low on hit points but still want to keep doing damage, certain paragons, and it's also useful for separating out spawn. Or sometimes you get multiple mobs on you that hit hard in melee so you can run around taking them out til their numbers are reduced before you engage melee. There are lots of different situations that make this combination useful, and using hotkeys to swtich between melee weapon and bow make this kind of thing fun and easy.

This is the build: 1. tactics 2. swords/macing/fencing (I use fencing) 3. archery 4. resist 5. healing 6. anatomy 7. whatever you want. I use poisoning but I'm thinking about dropping it for something more useful, like parry when I go for my defense talisman. Lumberjacking or alchy would be good choices too. If you build up a legendary trade skill then drop it you can also add another 20 points to whatever. (I use it for magery)
