Valley of Saints(VoS) is the heaven area for the mages. which area is similar to this but for archers?1-2 shot mobs that have bow weapon weak point.My SR is 55lvl.
You won't find those mobs that you can 1-2 shot and have bow weak at that lvl. The first, even remotely interesting mob, that has archery weak is that Bloody Liviona like mob in FoD at night.
Get some buffs, hunt in FP till you turn 65, then go to the entrance of VoS and blast away, as an archer you practically follow the mages around in xp spots when you have at least graded jewels and some SE/PP/WC buffs.
Don't focus too much on archery weak, but look out for weak p def mobs, that alone will get you already a long way.
The problem I've found with VoS is that there are dagger mobs, about half or so in any given area, that UE as soon as they spawn. When you hit one they spawn a second. So if you are killing fast you will get to the first when it still has UE and then the second spawns and uses UE. Unless you interrupt the cast, either by hitting them hard, stunning shot, or hitting the first one to teleport the second to you, they are a pain to kill for my SR sub even though their white. Other then that type of mob the area is fine, as long as you avoid groups and have decent jewels.
Finding it a pain to level in VoS, I leveled in GC killing Bears and Spiders in the second room. Then moved to FG and have been doing the quest for Ag recipes. Once I hit 67 I may try FoTD but the bleed may prove too much for me to handle and I may fall back to someplace like BS or WoA.
Blazing Swamp is really horrible, the only times I go there is to use up some buffs I received. Personally I took the UE and heavy nuking of VoS over the stuns of the bears.
Passed a lvl in Forbidden Gateway around 64 to get some recipes, but I didn't stay much longer cause of no herbs dropping = heavy cash expense on pots.
Forest of the Death is ok when you have Invigor, otherwhise it's not really worth soloing, a duo with an EE works very well though.

There isn't a place where you can 2 shot EVERY mob in a given location at your level...unless you have a +16 BOP, PL Set, +5 STR and end game buffs. Even then, most mobs will be at least a 3 shot deal.
Even the ones that are "Weak to Bow" or "Low Pdef" aren't necessarily 2 shot mobs. At C grade and below there are plenty of mobs that you can kill in one or two hits. But not at 55. At least, not any that I've yet found, and I usually look just about every place before I start grinding.
And it's not good to equate magic damage to arrow damage. Mages will always routinely 2 shot things that an archer cannot. The trade off is that archers will get crits way more often than a mage. This usually means that you will one shot mobs much more frequently.
These places are good for archers, depending on set up...
Pavel Ruins
Frozen Lab
Cemetary (if you have pocket rechargers and holy weapon)
Fields of Massacre
Forsaken Plains
FOTD
I remember my clannie soloed SR in Cemetery, Blazing Swamp, Around DC (mostly those catterpillars and trees) and FoTD later. Solo = completely solo, not even CH buffs.

My friend, who is a 62 or 63 HE, levels in BS and FOTD. He seems to do ok, but he does have a buffer to help out.
One of his main complaints was that it takes him 3 or 4 arrows to kill most things anyway, so even yellows and pinks are fair game to him if the overall XP/per arrow is right.
If I remeber right those golems are archer resist so I stayed away. Maybe it was high p.def.
BTW I recomend getting the recipes and making MP potions if you hunt someplace with out herbs. Haste pots are cheap and so are mp is you make them yourself. Healing pots will catch up with you though if you spam them.
Im 3-shootig mobs in field of massacre, 5-6k / mob. one critt kills them.
Im lvl54 HE, +5 str, PL set and prophet buffs. that is for solo. when I duo I go to FG (sos)
