Zen Archery Build/ Pathfinder

[Nosta]

So I want to get away from Melee and play something i have not before, so I figured why not A Archer.

so I Been trying to come up with a Build all day and so far this is what i have

1 level of Empyreal sorcerer (As i plan to take 2 levels of AA) 0 BAB
3 level of Zen Archer Monk 2 BAB
4 Levels of Archer fighter 4 BAB
2 levels of Arcane Archer 2 BAB
10 levels of Eldritch Knight 10 BAB

Is this a good idea or should i Tweak it

Race is half-elf

With Prestigious Spellcaster, you can even take all 10 levels of Arcane Archer even if Seeker Arrow, Phasing Arrow, Hail of Arrows and Arrow of Death are kinda lackluster (talk with your DM about getting your casting stat instead of Cha to Arrow of Death and being able to combine Imbue Arrow with Seeker/Phasing Arrow and making Hail of Arrow usable all day since it's kinda niche anyways). If you tend towards the caster-side.

You need the prerequisite feats anyways so that about covers the rest though. For reference, Arcane Archer (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/prestige-classes/core-rulebook/arcane-archer/) requires PBS, Precise Shot and Weapon Focus: Longbow/Shortbow. A race with bonus feats like Human is probably well-advised here.


Depending on your level split (you need at least 3 levels of Zen Archer for Wis to hit), it's martially not as strong as straight Zen Archer and you miss out on the best stuff of AA without high level spells to Imbue but you can roll with it as something in-between.

Why is the build so complicated? ZA Monk/Empyreal Sorcerer/Arcane Archer works well.
