[QUOTE="Azaar, post: 4001194, member: 1988"] I considered Psionic Shot/Greater Psionic Shot/Psionic Meditation for my archer build, and go for Fell Shot and Epic Psionic Focus to use Greater Psionic Shot and Fell Shot with the same psionic focus. But... really, that would be overkill, given my current build. Ultimately, it depends on what you're playing in terms of class, as well as what kind of bow/crossbow you're wielding. If you want serious possibilities, I suggest Ranger/Scout with the Swift Hunter feat: favored enemies, skirmish and the ability to deal skirmish damage to your favored enemies even if they would otherwise be immune (constructs and undead, anyone?). I'm running a Scout at present, but I may very well take a level of Ranger come 12th character level and take Swift Hunter to get the favored enemies. With my scout (wielding a +2 corrosive composite (+3 STR) shortbow), I get one attack (unless skirmish doesn't impede with the prospect of a full-round action -- correct me on that, if anyone can?), but I'm averaging the same damage with one shot that you're struggling to attain in three shots. If I'm stuck with one attack, then I'll need to look into Spring Attack/Bounding Assault/Rapid Blitz to get three attacks per round once I'm eligible for those feats. [/QUOTE]
