Newbie Deepwoods Stalker Build - 12 Ranger/7 Rogue/1 Fighter

[ImaginaryLogic]

I am going to TR my 1st life Paladin soon and wanted something different, with more DPS and with trapping ability. I decided that Carpone's U52 Bow build looked very close to what I wanted. However, it didn't give me quite the trapping skill scores I wanted, plus I wanted the Jorasco dragonmark for healing.

- I went from 20 Dex to 18 and raised Int, giving me some more skill points.
- I swapped Barbarian to Fighter for an extra feat slot
- I ditched the Harper and VKF enhancements and put the points into Halfling and Arcane Archer. I didn't quite fit paralyzing arrows in, I might try reducing halfling AP for that.

Here is the code I came up with:

Rogue Ranger
12/7/1 Ranger/Rogue/Fighter
Chaotic Good Halfling

Any thoughts? I don't think I broke the build with my changes. I'm also going to run with a guild mostly but still want good solo power.

What is some good heroic ranged gear? I have Bow of the Elements for level 10, not sure what else is good. Someone recommended I farm slave lords gear, is that good in practice?

Thanks
