Wow I can't believe how quickly you responded - it's much appreciated. OK below is my current gear. I have been chopping and changing trying to work out best set so I've listed it all!

Helm

Wearing Raid but also have henchman

Weapon

Im swapping between talon & wing, and recurve depending on instance.

Underling Talon (Not purchased better cos not sure I'll stick with talon)
Or
Henchman recurve

Armour

Henchman

Shield

Raid Wing

I have been concentrating on my Mage and am now really getting into my archer but don't have much gold left  I used talon/wing combination while levelling to eradicate death/loss of level pots but hope that with right gear I will switch to recurve/scarab. Im full dex btw.

Any advice greatfully appreciated.
