You know I thought of this when creating an Arcane Archer so I made sure I had Weapon Finesse (Rapier) on a +1 Rapier I had and then I took quick draw for it. I have yet to even pull that sucker out. 40 - 50 combats later and I just start and finish with bow. I never can get close enough to fight hand to hand. I have a few first level spells that I usually cast if there is an empty round. True Strike gives my AA a +49 on the next hit. Light is great in dark, and I can always cast silent image if I get bored.
I'm always in the heat of battle. I've been surrounded by viscious bladed lions while my party who was all invisible had to rescue me while dealing with their own problems. I really thought about pulling that rapier out. But when it came down to it the one AoO was worth it to take down 3 of the beasts.
