    Ok I ran a Single Minion CoC/Archer when cb2 first started.

    I started off with the set-up you have here but i found that, as you reach the real competition at the top, that the ToA (or rather the lack of AC b/c of it) is more of a hinderance than anything

    Now i did all this before the amulets came around so the AoAC may have helped get over the lack of AC but i doubt it. I ended up running with a little different equipment strat (similar to the alternate CoC armor on the cb help pages) I had
    MC (yeah you read that right)
    EC
    DB
    TG (this was before AG were around)
    HoD
    and of course the real key to this set-up an ELB.

    Of course with the changes that have come about since then (amulets, TSA, AG, etc) I would suggest some changes to the non-ToA set-up of course but the real issue is that while this set-up can be VERY effective against multi minion teams it gets eaten alive by single or dual mages. W/O the ToA to augment your str & dx your xp gets split between way to much…HP, STR, DX, & CoC at the very least and AMF is almost required…it is just too much dilution
    the bonuses from things like TSA, EC, etc can help get more use from your xp but the solo mages will eat you up

    w/ or w/o ToA?
    stats or AC?

    The choice is yours but either way you go understand one thing: while the CoC/Archer is fun and definately different you will NEVER see one in the top characters lists, though it might make it into the top single minion characters, mine did ;)
