Best archer class that goes with angel?

[A]

First time playing Wrath, frankly it's been a long time since Kingmaker and it's overwhelming to look at everything. I just want a "brain ded" archer class/build that will go well with Angel.

[Baldurs_Gate_2]

Zen Archer, because he uses wisdom as attack bonus instead of dex.

Paladin could work as well.

[Immortal Reaver]

All martial archers go similiary well to Angel.

Mutation Warrior is most braindead, only pop mutagen (10min/lvl) and attack. It will also have a lot of feats so you can waste them with side things.
Deliverer Slayer also works, Studied Target, Quarry abilties, but it needs flanked target.
Demoslayer Ranger has Quarry, few buffs and can have pet or share Favored Enemy bonus.
Zen Archer has just few abilities.

You could also try Rowdy Rogue and fire Vital Strike arrows. You'd only get one shot per round but it would oneshot nearly anything.

Or you could go the old standard and try a Ranger or a Hunter. That way you get a pet that kicks butt as well as being an archer.

Any class works fine with angel as long as your alignment is LG, NG or LN.

What's the stat spread for classes like ranger or hunter? I'm trying to remember but aren't bows "Str" scaling if you're using longbow?

a lil bit Wisdom if you want spells but they are more for utility or self buffing

[Immortal Reaver]

DEX to hit with ranged attacks.
STR for damage with composite bows and thrown weapons. Non-composite bows and crossbows do not get bonuses to damage from STR.

Hunter and Rangers use Wis to cast spell, note some archetypes can change that.
Hunter gets up to 6th level spell. Ranger up to 4th level spell. So on Hunter you will want more Wis than on Ranger.

Remind me a bit, from what I recall--the level of WIS for a character to unlock their spells is 10 + X (x denoting the spell level they can cast right?) so unless you're a wizard or sorc, you just want enough point to be able to cast these?

Yes. Also permanent bonus from equipmet works for that.

Yup. Just go 14 wis if you want to cast all ranger spells. 16 for Hunter. But remember you get a stat point every 4 levels so you can pick up some of those points later if you want.

I wanna ask, is there a charisma option/archetype for an archer if I want to put points into persuade? or should i just rely on my background for that?

Paladin-Divine Hunter is an archer who uses charisma.

But another option is to take 'Acolyte' as a background trait. That will let you use wisdom for persuade instead of charisma. Might be a good option for ranger or hunter.

Finally you could just rely upon the Persuasion skill of one of your companions. Its not usable all the time but can help in most conversations.

[Immortal Reaver]

Espionage Expert Ranger, companion Arueshalae is also same class and the archetype does not get a pet.
(Divine Hunter) Paladin. Does not needs to be Divine Hunter but it gets Precise Shot for free.
If you go Mutation Warrior, Rangers or Slayers, you will have enough feats to take Skill Focus and Persuasive feats (beacuse there is not a lot of archer feats, and you get enough Combat/Ranger/Slayer extra feats).

[Drake]

There is also the option of doing an oracle with the battle mystery or wildland shaman or a spirit hunter shaman (also with battle spirit), and pick nature as second mystery (to get a pet), or ancestor (for more combat buffs).
You'll be able to merge spellbooks with angel, so you'll have stupid OP spells while being able to dish a lot of weapon damage with all of those buffs.

I went for mutation warrior. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not familiar with the PNP and I beat Kingmaker but never delved into the math and stuff hence why I wanted a bran ded archer build. Ekundayo from the first game demolished a lot. I'll be following this individual's build for mutation warrior archer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVV8u6UnWF0 and maybe wing it when it comes to the Angel mythic path. (hopefully it's not too complicated lol)

If you want to go simplest brain dead archer: Lawful Good Slayer (Deliverer) 16, Demonslayer 1, Zen Archer 3. Start w/ Zen Archer to level 3 for the archery feats and early boost to attack bonus. Then take your Demonslayer level for another always active bonus vs Demons. Then everything else in Deliverer. You'll get regular archery feats, absurd bonuses vs all Chaotic Neutral, Chaotic Evil, and Neutral Evil enemies--which is virtually everything that matters in the game. You get sneak attack damage without falling off a fighter's Attack schedule. And you get good skill selections to Perception (which you want because you need Wisdom for Zen Archery to work anyway), Mobility and Athletics (which are 2 skills your armor-wearing friends will ALWAYS fail at), and stealth. So you can 1 shot wizards and take camouflage in camp yourself.
