Hi,
yesterday I have seen realy interesting build, 14 barbar/6 ranger. I was so interested in it, that I have tried to find it in this forum. I dont know, mb have bad luck or what, i couldnt found it.

But I have never done ranged character before, so have many questions.
1) ranger enchs: Sniper vs. Arcane – dont know, is snipers shot only one shot by 10 seconds? If yes, its totaly useless! Why they did it, mg?!
2) Precise shot? Is it useful? Why not why yes?)
3) Are there any other useful feats for ranged character i didnt noticed?

Build aspects:
+
insane ranged damage – haste, manyshot, dmg boost when raged +1 crit multiplier, free acid, elven ench
still good meele damage – greater twf, barb power attack II, rage, elven enchs
nice self suff
like every ranged characters with paralyze bow... I love it
good intimidation with nice hp for tankinkg

-
bad saves
not as good dps as other meele chars
no evasion (
no power critical anymore ( (but in char planner yes, boooo!)

Finaly I am going to show you a Sniper from Shadow dreams:
