Need help with a Build for my first playthrough

You can make just about anything you fancy with the right combination of Powers and equipment. An archer that can also do magic is entirely within the realm of possibilities. My White Mage is actually an archer hybrid, but they focus more on the healing/buffing and have Frost Arrow and a slot for a rotating selection of archery skills depending on the situation. I mainly designed them around 'old school FF White Mage' concept rather than optimizing them for gameplay.
Assuming you're looking more for an offensive mage archer, making them a Thief to take advantage of Twist the Knife's damage boost is good, especially if you have a set of Powers that also inflict debuffs for the synergy. Give them Willpower obviously to boost the damage output of their magical abilities, whichever ones you go with.
Here's a couple topics you might want to check out, as there are others who've built characters like this and the tips should be handy generally.

Your Custom Class?
At the beginning we're given a starter class and we can only have one to act as our framework at any given time. Though I've looked through the bonuses of backgrounds, races, and stat bonuses and I was wondering if anyone has attempted making a custom class through mixing and matching...

current strongest mage build?
It's been awhile since I last asked this and I've moved on to a thief build that I like. But I still like the theme of a powerful mage MC. So what's the current strongest offensive mage build? Offensive cause I'm trying to end fights as soon as I can.

Bow Build need help and a question
First question is I am thinking of going STR, Agl, Will for more of an arcane archer build or should I go STR, Agl, Cun? I wanna deal physical and magical dmg. Also if I spare Hethia and negotiate can I get the whitewood bow later??? I went Wyld Elf, Thief, Hunter

I would say a good starting point would be a high balance of strength/dexterity/willpower to have good magical and physical damage and accuracy, and then using the whitewood bow as a thief to spam frost arrows. Alternatively, Arcane Shot could be exactly what you're looking for. Crackle Powder then following it with lightning magic would also be an option. I find DPS champions often disappointing, personally, but I think that's your best bet at building a decent archer DPS champ.
