construct an uber archer

[1337 h4xor]

i'm trying to figure out the right class/prc combo to make the perfect archer. The one i'm currently playing is level 5

wood elf
str 16 in my dm's campaign he considers wood elf's dex 21 favored class to be ranger
con 14
int 12
wis 14
cha 6
4 levels monte's ranger
1 level figher
feats: far shot, rapid shot, precise shot, point blank shot and wf:composite longbow

next level my obvious choice would been deepwood sniper for keen edge... but after that what do you think would be the way to best maximize an archer? i'm not sure weather to bother with arcane archer or just use deepwood sniper and peerless archer. All classes and prcs are open to me in this campaign.

Order of the Bow Initiate / Peerless Archer..

Order of the Bow.... combined with Deepwood is rather nice.

Total: Fighter 4 Ranger(Monte) 4 Deepwood 2 Order of the Bow 10

VERY nasty. The spell in Magic Of Faerun: Hunters Mercy is a big boon lvl1 spell auto threat to crit.

If you want 20th level uber-archer, go psion nomad all the way, put your second highest score in Con, and your 3rd highest in Str.

Don't forget to get Point Blank Shot, Psionic Shot, FELL SHOT, Rapid Shot, Manyshot.

Stop time and summon 7 level 6 astral constructs to distract your enemy!
Then hasten yourself!
Then lob insanely huge numbers of Fell Shot arrows off at your foes!
If you miss, use Psychofeedback to increase your Dex by 40 points!

Bah, just make a cleric, grab a level of templar, get the persistent spell feat. Takes a bit ta git ta the really sick power levels, but when ya do, there really ain't nothin' that kin keep the high level of consistant damage that the cleric can put out. Not ta say that some other class combos don't crit better, but in the end, the average damage over time will end up bein' higher fer a good cleric. Plus it is a real boon bein' able ta GMW yer own arrows. Craftin' em is too ridiculously expensive, specially when yer goin' through 'em 5 or 6 a round.

I'm sorry, but I have to throw my weight to Deepwood sniper. If you want to be a munchkin, throw in some Peerless archer levels. Oh, and a Wand of Hunter's Mercy, and an energy type burst bow (My suggestion is Electricity).

One of my players currently has a frighteningly efficient archer. Rog3/Ftr4/Order of the Bow8. Along with a sorcerer buddy to cast improved invisibility on her, she can throw out five arrows a round with 5d6 sneak on each one. If invisible she regularly does well over a hundred points of damage a round, and is still effective without the invisibility.

Your choice: Cleric, Psion or Sorcerer/Wizard.

My personal choice is the Arcane Trickster (Wizard).

I have an 18th level Elven Arcane Trickster right now, and she also is terribly effective as an archer (easily tops 200 damage per round), altho the character is far from being built for pure effectiveness and is extremely capable in non-combat situations especially.

Peerless Archer up to 3rd. Power shot is just sick and wrong.

When you have a +22 attack bonus, you can easily put 5-10 into damage.

Since arrows and bows stack their bonuses, power shot is doubly useful.
