Kapow (18 Sorcerer/2 Ranger) Unconventional Sorcerer with Arcane Archer

[phreek]

Hey guys, was a bit bored at work, so thought I'd come up with a new unconventional build.

Before you dismiss this build, and think that this is a waste of time let me say this.

This is meant to be a Sorcerer (mainly), only that it has added some frosting on the cake.
In no way do I mean that Arcane Archer is supposed to be your main source of damage. Simply put, it will never be.

Pro's:

Almost the full casting ability of a 20th Sorcerer
Alternate DPS

Con's:

Divine Power clickies for max use of Manyshot
Low HP
2 DC's behind an equally geared Drow Sorc (See example below)
Miss out on two 9th level spells and one 8th
All the goodies come at level 20 (Wail of Banshee and Slaying Arrows)

Example:
20 base
05 lvlup
06 item
03 exceptional
03 enhancement
03 tome
=40

DC wise this build won't loose out that much, but of course it will be behind.

The reasoning behind this build, is mainly where caster classes consider themselves a bit useless. Shavarath!
Also after emptying your SP pool, you'll have some sort of backup regarding contributing to DPS.

HP will be a bit low on this toon for my taste, but than again - not that many sorcerers manage to get it much higher.

Was just looking for some feedback on this, because i just might TR my Wiz into this.
