Arushalae dip into eldritch archer? or Rowdy Rogue or stay 20 levels of EE?

[Nazkai]

As in the title I am trying to think of what might be an effective dip for a few levels for Rue (if anything) Note - I am playing on customized version of Normal with increased enemies and enemies can use extra powers and skills on.

Also I did not pick up Snap Shot or weapon focus longbow when I picked Her up at Level 8 and instead went with Improved Crit longbow first for expanded crit range as her accuracy seems pretty darn good with Mythic Rapid Shot turned on at this point. I may grab both of those later not sure how good Snap Shot really is on Rue or if Weapon Focus is really needed for just that +1 to hit?

From a pure rpg respective part of me wants to dip into EA for a couple of levels to make her a bit less ranger or Ekun from PFKM like and more Succubus or Magical Demon like.

Any ideas for good options are welcome.

I am already 10 now and Took improved Precise Shot and Demon of Strength 2 times there thinking that will be of good use with my Rangers bond and to hit later.

Thanks

A 6 level dip makes a lot of sense. You can put multiple elements on and make use of elemental succession. Either way you don't give up much at in the last levels of ranger. Best thing there is HIPS (on other ranger classes...) Improved quarry is pretty nice though. If you're playing at higher difficulty the free action +2 to hit may be more important than a few buffs and elemental damage.

Mythic finesse works on bows

The bad side of her is she already had high level on ranger class. and some dip can mess things up

and for inquisitor, sanctified slayer would get you study target, abit of low level divine magic and low level domain stuff
if you like that as flavour, than go for it, but i'm not sure if that is worth it

Every InEffect archer build uses EA2, so I guess that can be taken as gospel.

And that is dumb and should be corrected as fast as possible.

like vivisectionist, i haven't used eldritch archer since kingmaker
so i still can't speak from experience how it is in wotr
both of these class dips enter the safe but a bit boring category, but only because of using them in kingmaker alot

I'd say sanctified Slayer.

Something like Ranger 12/Sanctified Slayer 8 or something

nets you sneak attack dice, studied target, team work feats with solo tactics, bane weapon and some slayer tricks

with ranger 12 you still get Quarry, so there's really nothing you shouldn't be able to mow down with absurd damage from all these things stacking together

I did take Cleaving Shots and sorta RP that her arrows "magically explode" sometimes I skipped this on Lann for RP reasons and took the one that after 3 hits does more damage after reveling a weakness instead which seemed more Monk and precision like.

It's a world where magic is real. That's a perfectly valid explanation for what is happening, as would be Lann using his monk training combined with the mythic boost he gets from you to make the arrows shatter.

I think there even are actual magic exploding arrows in PF.

Yeah I hear you I just RP my Lann as more of a precise Zen archer revealing weakness type

Anyone have experience with Snap shot and Aoo's in this game? How good is that path for either Lann or Rue?

[Conquista]

snap shot works good on arueshalae, because of her invested levels she more or less can only go archer like delamere and because of her class she also has enough available feats for a snapshot archer build

haven't tried snapshot on lann, i rather go archer + divine support on him

Thanks and would snapshot work with combat reflexes and Ever Ready Then or would that be over kill? Also how many Snap shot feats are worth it? Improved, Greater etc?

[Conquista]

snapshot works with combat reflexes, i haven't tried it with ever ready
combat reflexes on a dex focused character already gives you enough aoo, so i probably would not recommend going for both
i would recommend the whole snapshot line, but it pretty much depends on if you can fit all important feats in, so better pre plan your feats
