For a iquisitor archer: str bow+ weapon bonus + deadly aim + bracer + pointblank + judgment + bane + destruction domain + (spell buffs like named bullet and others)...do the math : )

Activating judgment is a swift action, and it's only available a few times a day. The same goes for bane, and you need to identify the monster in question. The domain power is available only at level 8, it lasts for a few rounds only, and activating it is a standard action.

So, you're wasting at least one round setting the inquisitor up, and more if you cast any spells. The fighter - who has access to all the other goodies, and more - has already started dishing out damage, and can keep on doing that all day long.

Who are you kidding? The Fighter Archer already killed everything by the time the Inquisitor really starts shooting.


The inquisitor start shoot in the same time of the fighter with equal or better damage, if he can buff before the diference is far better.
