Playable from level 1 - 40 ..PvM Build

For arcane archers, my fave has always been the bard 10/arcane archer 28/shadow dancer 2. You get the bard spells and hide in plain sight. Attack a group of enemies, then vanish and move away. The AI enemies will all swarm to your last location, then you sink an imbued arrow into the midst of them. The problems with this build are that you pretty much depend solely on your bow, you'll be quite useless in melee, and you'll lose 3 points from your max AB.
