Unarmed Martial Artist/Archery Build?

bladedragon80

A little spin off of my Super Sentai multi-weapon build request, but I wanted a new thread to cover it.

The thought comes up that I have yet to see someone running around with Unarmed MA and Archery.

I will admit I have no idea if there is synergy. I'm willing to look into it, but thought to make a post and see if maybe someone else has played with it.

I'm probably going to have to compile these builds one of these days.

Well, there is the Armor Piercing debuff that could tie them together, I guess. I'd prob mainly use Unarmed for offense, and throw in one or two cd-based Archery powers for utility, but you could tackle it in other general ways. Here's one example:

The least few powers can be w/e ya want.

Straight Shot can be used as a basic ranged attack, and can also be charged to put up (and refresh) the AP debuff, while Medical Arrow can give you some extra healing, and BCR can also self-heal while procing FotM. Otherwise, Dragon Kick can be your main AoE, while BCF is your main single-target attack (and charged DK can also be thrown in for Rush's extra energy towards BCF). Gears mostly for Dex, w/ some Rec and Con (and some cost discount on gear).
