Creating a TR arcane Archer

[Xyzima]

So im true reincarnating my currently gimped character(11 ranger, 7 rogue 2 fighter) which i was going for somethign cmpletely different and he just sat there till i decided to get him to 20 and tr, so. I was trying to decide between variants of the builds below or just a 20 ranger, basing it on attack speed, saves, spells/points, feats, and dps capability. Recommendations would be great.

What is the 2 monk being used for?

Rangers get evasion at level 9 so what else does the monk do?

[Xyzima]

wis to ac, +1 wis enhancements 2 feats, monk stances when centered(for like a +2 to saves). mostly going off the feats and wis to ac.

[Blank_Zero]

easiest thing to do would be go pure 20 Elven Ranger. Free bow feats, Ranger Capstone, etc. also, you're gonna need good gear on ANY Ranged build, considering the DPS is gimpy when compared to a Melee.
