Attempting update at StrimTom's HW Archer Build

[Ricter]

Hi! I'm trying to update StrimTom's HW build here: https://forums-old.ddo.com/forums/s...y-kensai-horizon-walker?p=6463841#post6463841
Notably, for someone that hasn't paid for HW like myself, it lacks any AoE until you 400 Gatekeepers favor. Further, I'm not sure that the last 6 levels of Fighter really get you much. In exchange for losing Superior Weapon Focus: Ranged and One Cut and some passive stats, you get:

• More passive stats
• AoE access much earlier
• More AoE
• 2 more favored enemies
• Minor spell access

Thoughts? Things I'm missing?

How did this play?

Pretty well. The single target damage feels very good, and the spell access is just enough to be useful. I'm not up on the meta so I don't know if Inquisitive crossbow is just better, but I didn't struggle with this build.
