Two words: Sniper Shot.Performs a ranged attack with +2[W], a +4 bonus to-hit, +2 to critical threat range, and +2 to Critical Damage Multiplier. On Damage: The target will become momentarily confused and rendered vulnerable to sneak attacks for four seconds as if affected by the bluff skill. (Cooldown 6 seconds)
Since a decent chunk of your damage comes from sneak attacks, being able to reliably proc SA-vulnerability is important. I think there are Inquisitive builds with a similar split - i.e., rogue 12 / ranger 6 / Artificer 2 - for the same reason.
