Arcane Archer or Sniper

[Demiaan]

Im looking at building a ranger, but want to use a bow. Which one is better for DPS, and is there a link to a really good build for either of them?

Most will say that there is no such thing as ranged DPS.

But if you are comparing the 2 PrE lines, Arcane Archer is a hands down winner.

There is no deepwoods sniper pre.

Or rather it only goes up to level 6 and as such sucks in light of the fact that arcane archer is actually a finished pre.

deep wood sniper is not finished either only got tier 1 while AA has tier 3, and is way way way better also, if your going AA do not neglect melee you will have to melee a lot so str and con are not dump stats.
