Oh and speaking of the Archery Set....

I have a full on FF Archer using all the toys, but equipped with Quarry. I always liked this one for pure DPS, but running it as is came up well short against Clarence in the Winter Event. One hit, wipe out.

I want to keep the archery theme but what would be the best way to improve the character? Is there a better OP than Quarry I can use or do I need different SS's?

Thanks

    Targeting Computer is generally better for dps than Quarry here. You'll also want a diff AO now than ES/NM. Archery has diff rotation options, but generally you want to weave taps of Explosive Arrow's delayed explosion in between things like Straight Shot, Snap Shot, and/or Sonic Arrow for single-target dps. If you want to be a bit less squishy then you could also take Con SS and/or ranked a block enhancer. An example build:

    TY. I will try your recommended combination. Definitely needs to be less squishy. :)
