So. I like playing defensive and I like keeping my distance since I don't always have the reflex to block or dodge in time when I'm rubbing up against an enemy.

Obviously, arrows and magic are both resources you can run out of in Elden Ring, based on what I've seen. But I'm still curious:

Are there any good ranged-only builds like a mage archer who uses a bow when they rune out of magic, maybe something that conserves arrows and magic for big fights and uses a weaker weapon to stealth kill things?

Not very build-minded myself, but I've seen some the the stuff souls-borne players can come up with, so give me your best ideas.

​

P.S. I'm still a bit new to the game, so I don't know all the weapon/spell names. not even sure i found any magic aside the wolf summon in the little bit i already played but i could be forgetting.
