I like bow builds but...

I've been running a few pure ranger lives as part of my RTR grind, but I always feel so slow. What classes should I splash for faster movement speed options, while keeping a similar DPS to a pure ranger? (note that capstones aren't a huge draw for me because of the aforementioned RTR grind, but I'm not adverse to say, and elf AA thats pure 20 of something, as I still have to do elf lives)

The basic build I've been running is acid based AA with t5's in deepwood stalker.

Epic viability isn't a must, but I do have a number of epic bow's (ESS, Void, Pinion) that've just been gathering dust because I get tired of being SO SLOW by the time I get to 20.

Sorry if this is a silly question, I don't know a ton about building, so I figured it would be good to ask before TRing into something that's not very good

I'll ask the most basic question first, do you have either a https://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Quiver_of_Alacrity or 3x Scoundrel past lives for the 30% movement speed buff from level 1 up?

Yeah I have the quiver

A /1 barb splash will net you 10% more run speed. Grab Sprint boost out of falconry (pair wells with Wis based AA builds) or out of tempest.

Are there any more interesting options that just the barb splash? (not to sound ungrateful, just was hoping to get a few options, if they're out there)

Monk (take zen archery to keep centered)
Bard (swash line fast movement)
Rogue (thief-acrobat enhancement)
Alchemist (with t4 + being in green stance)

/1 Barb splashes are just the cheapest way to get +10%. Lots of other ways to boost run speed, but it'll effect your build more as you'll be investing more levels for run speed.
